Wireless
Ethernet Bridges
Hopper Plus
wireless Ethernet bridge operates in either
license-exempt 2.4-2.5835 GHz radio bands or
in the 3.6 to 3.9 GHz licensed band, and uses
proven direct sequence spread spectrum radio
technology. Simple integration with your
existing network allows you to avoid the high
costs of installing wire, paying licensing
fees, or being billed with on-going monthly
line charges. Most Hopper Plus installations
pay for themselves within a year.
Wireless
bridges are in use around the world in wide
area networking applications. They can be
used in almost any line-of-sight environment
to replace, extend or connect wired Ethernet
networks. Leading-edge technology guarantees
you superior security, reliability and
cost-effective performance.
Unlike many
competitors' models, which operate at less
than half their advertised speeds, Hopper Plus
bridges perform consistently at 80 to 85% peak
efficiency. Proprietary Dynamic Time
Allocation (DTA) technique allocates variable
time slots to busy stations when needed. DTA
does not waste valuable bandwidth allocating
time to idle stations. All Hopper Plus
wireless bridges use a polling protocol to
eliminate the inefficient data collisions that
plague more commonplace CSMA-based systems.
The combined benefits of Dynamic Time
Allocation and polling make Hopper Plus
Ethernet bridges the standard for efficient,
cost-effective multipoint wireless networking.
Your customers
are demanding more bandwidth. So you need a
versatile high-speed solution for the last
mile that won’t break the bank. Go wireless
break free of the confines of your current
solution.
Wireless means freedom for your ISP business.
Using unlicensed frequency bands, there are no
recurring license fees. And because you own
your infrastructure, there are no monthly line
costs. The best part - you aren’t dependent
upon the telephone company.
Wireless is simply the lowest cost, most
easily implemented solution out there for the
last mile. And our new portfolio of advanced
wireless Ethernet bridges are your best way to
realize the full benefits of high-speed
wireless Internet access.
Available in the 2.4 GHz unlicensed frequency
band for use in point-to-multipoint,
point-to-point, and backhaul applications, our
advanced wireless Ethernet bridges are the
last mile alternative that give you the most
bandwidth for your investment - and the
freedom your business deserves.
Unmatched Versatility
Our advanced
wireless Ethernet bridges are the only
wireless solution you’ll need for deploying a
high-speed wireless network. Unlike
competitive offerings, our advanced wireless
Ethernet bridges can be used to provide
high-speed point-to-multipoint, point-to-point
and backhaul connections. You’ll save money on
your total network costs with only one piece
of wireless equipment, save time installing
only one system, and save the hassle of
dealing with multiple wireless equipment
vendors.
Easy To Use, Install and Manage:
Advanced wireless Ethernet bridges are easy to
use, install and manage. After planning your
wide area network, our equipment can be
installed and activated in a matter of hours.
With advanced wireless Ethernet bridges,
modifying your network to accommodate growth
in your customer base can be done effortlessly
and quickly. Cost-effectiveness begins with
your first network customer, as enhanced
scalability allows you to easily add new
customers. Advanced wireless Ethernet bridges
support more remote users than any other
competitive product.
Once your network is up and running, managing
it is simple. our advanced wireless Ethernet
bridges feature upgradeable software. Flash
upgrades can be performed across your network
with virtually no downtime, and no
inconvenience to your customers. SNMP and
TELNET allow for remote management of the
Wi-LAN advanced wireless Ethernet bridges in
your network. Install and configure them once
and enjoy the freedom of managing each site
remotely.
Not Your Ordinary Wireless Ethernet Bridge
Advanced
wireless Ethernet bridges do much more than
conventional wireless Ethernet bridges, making
them the best choice for use in your
high-speed wireless network. Unlike ordinary
bridges that provide basic data transfer, our
advanced wireless Ethernet bridges offer
enhanced functionality with “smart” features
improving data and network management
capabilities.
Patented Technology:
Our advanced wireless Ethernet bridges “work
harder” than competitive offerings because
they’re built with patented Multi-code Direct
Sequence Spread Spectrum technology. MC-DSSS
technology is a significant improvement over
traditional Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum
(DSSS) technology, offering constant service
over distance through increased data rates and
enhanced reliability. Proprietary data
collision avoidance technology - dynamic
polling - is also embedded in every advanced
wireless Ethernet bridge to further increase
data throughput.
Superior User Management Features:
Advanced wireless Ethernet bridges offer user
management features that you’ll find
invaluable in your business, including the
ability to offer flexible service entitlement
to your network users. As well, advanced
wireless Ethernet bridges are VLAN (802.1q)
compatible and have a network protocol
learning technology that supports seamless
wide area network, LAN-to-LAN data delivery.
Guaranteed Security:
Advanced wireless Ethernet bridges are
designed to prevent unwanted eavesdropping,
thanks to built-in data scrambling that
“disguises” data when traveling across the
wireless network. Coupled with patented
MC-DSSS technology (based on DSSS methods
developed originally for the U.S. military)
advanced wireless Ethernet bridges are the
most secure in the industry. It is largely due
to this security guarantee that advanced
wireless Ethernet bridges are in use around
the world in a variety of corporate,
industrial, educational and government network
applications.
Cost-Effective Performance
Advanced
wireless Ethernet bridges give you the most
bandwidth for your investment. Taking into
account list prices and effective data rates
of over 12 Mbps, advanced wireless Ethernet
bridges offer the best price-per-megabit
performance available today.
Ideal for High-Speed Internet Access
Advanced
wireless Ethernet bridges can be used by ISPs
in almost any line-of-sight environment to
transfer voice, data and streaming multi-media
content between multiple-site information
networks.
Meet Growing Bandwidth Needs
Advanced
wireless Ethernet bridges provide a
cost-effective solution for the last mile and
are ideal for serving the growing bandwidth
needs of small and mid-sized enterprises,
small office/home office, and multi-dwelling
units, such as apartment buildings and
industrial complexes.
