Wibromax B: The Optimal Point-to-Point Solution
The Wibromax B is a family of wireless point-to-point bridging solutions that operate in unlicensed bands and provide an efficient and highly secure solution for building-to-building connectivity and backhauling. It is an ideal alternative to expensive leased lines, providing a near-instant link for connecting remote local offices to headquarters, isolated buildings on campuses and industrial zones.
Moreover , ISPs can leverage Wibromax B as a powerful and cost-effective wireless link to backhaul their point-to-multipoint networks to their Internet point of presence, avoiding the need for expensive leased lines over wire line infrastructures.
Operating Beyond the Line of Sight
The Wibromax B is developed in recognition of the need to provide a viable and cost-effective solution for dense urban and industrial environments where a clear line of sight for point- to-point applications is not always available. To that end, the Wibromax B leverages both robust outdoor technologies and Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) modulation in the same product. With features such as Forward Error Correction (FEC) used to combat multi-path and noisy environments, the product operates seamlessly and efficiently in non-line-of-sight (NLOS) environments with good throughput. The system also features adaptive modulation for automatic modulation selection to maximize the data rate and improve spectral efficiency. These inherent advantages of the Wibromax B enable service providers to connect an effective PTP solution to a significantly higher percentage of their subscriber base that would otherwise be inaccessible due to LOS restrictions.
Crossing the Digital Divide for a Wide Range of Point- to-Point Environments
Business enterprises, municipalities, university campuses, law enforcement agencies and other private and public institutions typically have multiple facilities or buildings that are spread over a wide urban or rural area. Wibromax B point-to-point solutions can achieve a near-instant building-to-building link. Organizations that rely upon Ethernet/LAN connections no longer need to worry about their remote buildings/branches being left out of the network loop; Wibromax B provides a seamless, efficient and secure wireless bridge with high-bandwidth transmissions, covering large distances in harsh and adverse environments and weather conditions.
Highly Secure Air Interface
Wibromax B also supports security sensitive applications through the optional use of authentication and data encryption utilizing AES and WEP algorithm options with 128 bit keys. Wibromax B100 offers another layer of security - AES-based encryption through optional FIPS 197, available with a licensed upgrade. The system also supports VLAN at connections based on IEEE 802.1Q, facilitating secure operation and virtual private networking (VPN) services and enabling remote employees or offices to conveniently access their enterprise networks.
Product Variations
Wibromax B is available in three main variations, Wibromax B14, Wibromax B28 and Wibromax B100, with throughput as the primary variant among the three products. Each is available with a 21 dBi integrated antenna or with a standard RF connector supporting detached external antennas (in which case it can be used with either a 23 or 28 dBi flat panel antenna). With a choice of three Wibromax B products, users can achieve an optimal cost/performance solution in every deployment.
Built to Last
All Wibromax B products consist of robust outdoor units that are built to perform in even the most difficult climates and withstand the harshest weather conditions. Outdoor units typically maintain a significantly higher link budget than their indoor counterparts and therefore achieve higher performance and availability. Unlike point-to-point indoor units, which employ RF cables to run signals to rooftop antennas, outdoor units utilize a simple CAT-5 connection, which enables a significant reduction in the loss of power/DB levels. CAT-5 cables are also far easier to install and cost considerably less.
Wibromax B System Components
Base Unit (BU)
The BU is installed at one end of the PTP link and connects to a central server or to the Internet. The BU is composed of two parts, a universal indoor unit (IDU) and an outdoor unit (ODU). By combining the radio and the modem in the outdoor unit, Wibromax B offers a true outdoor device with no power loss associated with expensive and lossy indoor/outdoor cable. The outdoor unit is available with an integrated antenna or without (in which case an external antenna can be used).
Remote Bridge (RB)
The RB is placed at the far end of the PTP link, connecting the end user to the centrally located BU. It is also composed of two parts, an identical universal indoor unit, like the one used in the BU, and an outdoor unit that is also available with or without the integrated antenna. For logistical efficiency, each unit is shipped as a BU and is changeable by software to be an RB.
| BU-B14, BU-B28 or BU-B100 Base Unit | Connects directly to the 10/100 Base-T Ethernet backbone and links it to the central network point. |
| RB-B14, RB-B28 or RB-B100 Remote Bridge LAN | Connects directly to the 10/100 Base-T Ethernet and links the remote Ethernet LAN to the central point via the Base Unit, servicing up to 1024 stations |
