Extending the network’s edge far beyond what was possible
A robust, modifiable, “Plug and Play”, active tracking RFID technology that transmits information via it’s own secure network
Micro cellular network topology provides M2M, Bi-directional IP access to low power, short range, battery operated devices/ sensors. C-LAN does not require any ambient RF Infrastructure (WiFi, large scale cellular) operates outside of IT Domain. C-LAN requires a single IP interface (Ethernet/cellular modem) regardless of C-LAN coverage area. C-LAN can be installed into existing structures with no retro-fit, available AC power is the only requirement. Battery/solar power can be used for temporary, Ad-Hoc network capability if no AC available. C-LAN could be used in emergency/field application
Up to 64,000 C-LAN Cells Ethernet/Wi-Fi Cellular Modem Unlimited number of active/passive C-LAN Tags Master acts as gateway to web app via IP/modem Master manages network timing/control for network formation & Bi-directional packet transport Single Master is able to provide RF coverage of 192 Million square feet ( sqft/ C-LAN cell) HOSPITAL SERVER MASTER UNIT
“Segmented Cluster” network geometry, i.e. Buildings, Airports, Warehouses, Shipping containers thru Port of Entry and while in transit, digital home life environment. Network assembly algorithm maximizes bandwidth & minimizes latency regardless of geometry. MASTER UNIT C1 C2 C3 HOSPITAL SERVER
Overlapping Cells provide continuous coverage indoors and out. Overlapping cell coverage Cell to Cell RF Range (Bi-Direction, Synchronous) Cell to Devise RF Range (Asynchronous) Multi-Hop Centroiding Scheme allows multiple path for data
MASTER UNIT C1 C2 C3 C4 Temp SensorEvent Triggered CameraPulse O2 SensorFixed/Mobile equipment and suppliesPersonnel Synchronous backhaul. No self-induced packet collisions Full network BW assigned to sending cell via TDMA/Interrupt/Poll(based on network traffic density) Low packet density near cell, auto-acknowledgement between cell–device provides loss-less data transfer Multiple applications running on top of the ambient C-LAN, Security, HVAC, Real Time Video, any sensor available on market today, all sharing bandwidth with no packet collisions. Applications do not compete and self-collide, C-LAN improves the Wi-Fi performance. Synchronous Asynchronous Device to Device Packet Exchange Bounced off Master
C-LAN fills the gaps and extends the current technologies far beyond their limits!
The Product Components
Installation comparison. C-LAN vs. Wi-Fi. To gain adequate Wi-Fi coverage in a large hospital requires hardwiring multiple Wireless Routers. - Wired Wi-Fi Router - Required installation connection wire - C-LAN cells placed into AC outlets To gain adequate C-LAN coverage in a large hospital requires NO hardwiring only AC outlets needed. Plug and Play. C-LAN
