Wireless Overview Operating Bands Licensing & Guaranteed Service Regulations Guaranteed Bandwidth & Range & link margin Weather interference Installation Issues Typical Applications Main Customer References

Operating Band - Actual 2.4GHz - LAN, 2Mbps, 8Mbps & 4x2Mbps wireless modems - only world-wide standard Good Range with Constant Throughput Broadband operation Interfaces - G.703, X.21 & V.35 Probot

Operating Band - Future 5.8GHz - next standard operating band 2Mbps, 8Mbps & 4x 2Mbps (16x 2Mbps) wireless modems Good Range with Constant Throughput Broadband operation Standard G.703, X.21 & V.35 interfaces

Licensing Issues Unlicensed operation –No Regular Fees - one off cost to install –No license application -reduced time to installation –Possible interference requiring link adjustment Licensed operation –Yearly license fees - ongoing costs –License Application - waiting time to install –Guaranteed service - reduced chance of interference

Regulations ETSI Standards - ETS MHz to MHz MHz of BW Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum & Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum 100mW Emitted Isotropic Output Power –Actual power delivered to the output of the Transmit Antenna - ETSI limit

Bandwidth Issues IEEE Based products –High Overheads on 11Mbps (Bandwidth) link –Actual Data Throughput 2.5 to 3.5Mbps Probot Design –Low overheads & Guaranteed Constant 4x 2Mbps Bandwidth and Throughput

Range Issues ETSI Standard 100mW –24dBi Rx & 14dBi Tx Antennae – 10 Km. Standard link margin –No performance degradation for weather attenuation (even with heavy fog > 50m visual range) –fluctuation in RF noise floor –Working temperature between -35ºC and +70 ºC does not imply in performance (RF head) –link works error free Repeaters allow error free - transparent extension of a link (up to 90 Km.)
