Indoor Mesh CPE

 

Introduction – What is a MAP-2854?

 

PHIwave MAP-2854 (Mesh Access Point) is our latest Broadband Wireless Mesh Access (BWA) 2.4 and 5.8Ghz CPE (Customer Premise Equipment). Our system gives service providers a fully-integrated intelligent service platform for deploying high-capacity broadband wireless networks for personalized service delivery. PHIwave system architecture supports multi service applications, scales easily for increased capacity and coverage, and provides dynamic link optimization on a per-subscriber basis. It also features fast deployment and easy-to-use management.

 

Working with the PHIwave Mother base stations, PHIwave MAP-2854 Series indoor or outdoor subscriber units deliver high-speed, IP access for small to midsize businesses, small office/home offices (SOHO), and residential users. With a PHIwave Series unit installed at the subscriber’s site, users can browse Web pages, support VOIP voice calls, view streaming video, and download files—all at Megabit data rates downstream and upstream. The PHIwave MAP-2854 subscriber equipment consists of a main unit that can be installed indoors or outdoors, connecting with a single power over Ethernet cable, to a small interface unit that also provides an Ethernet port for a PC or LAN. The indoor unit has a DC adapter and 1 or 2 Omni antennas. The indoor unit has an optional 802.11g Wi-Fi Access Point for users who require wireless LAN functions. Standard model comes with a single LAN port.

Plug /n Play LAN Configuration

 

For business users, the PHIwave MAP-2854 Series provides additional features that streamline LAN configuration. Integrated in the PHIwave, a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server allocates IP addresses for each Workstation or PC. And, Network Address Translation (NAT) enables users to share a single public IP address while providing enhanced security. The PHIwave MAP-2854 model provides simple plug and play connections for residential applications.

 

 

Flexible Architecture

The PHIwave system can handle hundreds of wireless subscribers per cell, whether they’re spread out or live in densely populated neighborhoods. Combining high frequency reuse with advanced interference management and mitigation techniques, the PHIwave system conserves valuable spectrum by allowing the service provider to cover an extensive geographical area with a minimum number of channels. As bandwidth and subscriber needs increase, network operators can easily add channels or new sectors within the cell. Multiple PHIwave base station units can be stacked to provide additional bandwidth using multiple channels per sector. Operators can also economically deploy additional cells to extend the service capacity and coverage footprint.

 

Quik Service Provisioning

The PHIwave Series is easy to install and configure. The main unit can be installed on the roof or roofline. A small indoor interface unit is used to inject power and connects the outdoor unit to a personal computer or Ethernet network. Once all components have been cabled together, the PHIwave automatically obtains an IP address from the network and downloads the configuration parameters.

 

Service Flexibility

The PHIwave system is easy to customize to fit the customers’ requirements. The PHIwave Series subscriber unit supports remote provisioning for a variety of speeds, eliminating the need for costly truck rolls. It also gives service providers the flexibility to offer multiple flows with different service classes for residential and business applications.

 

Simple LAN Configuration

For business users, the PHIwave Series provides additional features that streamline LAN configuration. Integrated in the PHIwave CPEs, a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server allocates IP addresses for each workstation. And, Network Address Translation (NAT) enables users to share a single public IP address while providing enhanced security. The PHIwave model provides simple plug and play bridging for residential applications.

 

PHIwave Broadband Wireless System Complete Package

The PHIwave  Series provides a complete subscriber package for fast Internet access. The easy-to-install unit with integrated antenna is mounted on the outside of the subscriber's office building or home. The interface unit connects to either a PC or an Ethernet/Fast Ethernet LAN.

 

 

 

Total System Configuration from Backhaul to Mother Base station to Client CPEs

 

Meshed Wireless Backhaul for Redundancy and Efficiency Solution

 

 

 

How does it work?

 

The backhaul is based on Mesh 802.11a standard@5.8Ghz frequency spectrum and carried wirelessly to Mother Base Stations (BST) over long distance (0.5-1.0km or more). The mother base stations then forwards the wireless packets to client CPEs which can be mounted on streetlamps, building rooftops or to indoor 2.4/5.8Ghz Indoor or outdoor CPEs. The CPEs provide the 802.11 b/g Wi-Fi Access Point signal to subscribers. For long range backhaul using licensed spectrum then the Mother Base Station has option to support 2.5~2.7Ghz licensed bands (optional).

 

The mother base stations are mesh together wirelessly using our advanced mesh routing protocol at 5.8Ghz and so that in the event one mother base station internet backhaul is down it will automatically mesh with Mother base stations temporarily. The internet backhaul is brought to one or more mother base station using wired high speed connections e.g. DSL, cable, T3, VSAT or other types of high speed connections. The total amount of internet bandwidth required depends on the operators user requiremens.

 

There are 2 types of CPEs, indoor and outdoor type. Indoor type should be placed closed to the home windows for better signal reception as glass windows do attenuate the wireless signals. The outdoor CPEs should be mounted on building rooftops and LAN Ethernet connection brought into the office switches or routers LAN.

 

PHIcell’s MAP is a revolutionary new technology that allows long range wireless backhaul to be wirelessly meshed over longer distances. The Outdoor Wireless Mesh 5.8Ghz a with a high throughput of up to 20+Mbps that enables instant deployment of wireless networks and provides a simple and reliable alternative to standard LAN cabling. Deploy Ethernet ports anywhere - instantly- MAP eliminates costly backhaul wiring for wireless access points and hotspots. In addition, they also enable wireless connectivity for standard networking devices such as computers, printers, access points, surveillance cameras, and Ethernet switches. MAP wireless mesh access points provide a robust, flexible, and scalable LAN backbone solution. Because they form automatically without wires, MAP mesh networks do not require elaborate site surveys or physical modifications to buildings and workspaces.
