Frequency Hopping 802.11 Raylink WISP
AP Controller |
 
Raylink's WISP Access Point Controller is the core of the Raylink
Point-to-MultiPoint WISP Network.
A highly capable broadband wireless base station unit,
the AP Controller effectively manages multiple clients across a wide
physical area while providing a powerful and secure WISP Network.
The Raylink AP Controller utilizes CSMA/CA on a Raytheon 802.11
Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum platform for the highest security
and reliability
available. CSMA/CA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access/Collision
Avoidance) is a technique that combines TDM (Time Division
Multiplexing) with CSMA/CD (Carrier Sense Multiple Access/Collision
Detection) to avoid having collisions occur a second time during the
transmission of data across your broadband wireless network.
The AP Controller is remotely managed using Raylink's NMS (Network
Management Software). The NMS allows the administrator to manage and
implement their individual customer performance requirements by
providing the WISP administrator with up to 128 user definable
traffic shaping queues. Static Routing and MAC Address Filtering
features can be configured to improve security, and allows the
administrator to keep viruses, hack attacks and other unwanted IP
traffic from propagating to the rest of the network. The Raylink NMS
can also be used in conjunction with several different versions of
RADIUS software for added security and flexibility.
Scalability
Different clients have different requirements. With Raylink's AP
Controller at the center of your network, you have the flexibility
of a scalable solution, which can easily adapt to your ever-changing
needs.
Service providers who are making their initial entry into wireless
can use Raylink's AP Controller to start off with a smaller
Point-to-MultiPoint WISP network, using a single AP Controller to
provide broadband links to their clients. With Raylink, it is very
easy to add more CPE Stations to the network gradually, as your
customer base grows. This allows your company to quickly begin
achieving ROI on its current network, while you expand into
different geographical regions and obtain more clients.
On the other hand, service providers with a large existing customer
base can immediately deploy wireless broadband service to their
customers with ease by co-locating several AP Controllers together
on a tower and broadcasting the bandwidth to the entire region. Any
combination of Raylink WISP CPE Stations or Bridges can be easily
positioned on the rooftops of enterprise or residential clients to
receive the wireless signal and provide
connectivity to your customers.
Flexibility
Raylink's AP Controller is available in both Frequency Hopping
Spread Spectrum (IEEE 802.11) and Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum
(IEEE 802.11b) versions. With a raw data rate of 2Mbps, the
Frequency Hopping version delivers bandwidth up to T1 speeds and is
preferred by many wireless operators because of its superior
security and resistance to interference. As a result, Frequency
Hopping AP Controllers are often chosen by wireless
operators looking to deploy larger Point-to-Multipoint networks. For
locations where radio interference is not an issue, Raylink's AP
Controllers can be ordered in Direct Sequence format, which boasts a
raw data rate of 11Mbps.
Raylink's AP Controller is available in single or dual-port
versions. With the Dual AP Controller, the wireless operator can
install one physical AP Controller box on a tower, while the dual
antenna ports can be connected to two separate antennas. This option
is perfect for wireless ISPs who are seeking to reduce weight and
wind loading on the tower. It is very popular for ISPs to use the
Dual AP Controller for Point-to-MultiPoint broadcast (using two
sector antennas), or for a combined Backhaul and MultiPoint
broadcast (using one sector antenna and one grid dish antenna). No
matter the situation, Raylink's wireless broadband equipment caters
to your network's constantly changing needs.
