Wavion WBS-2400 Sector base station is a new addition to Wavion’s advanced broadband base station portfolio, which operates in the 2.4 GHz band. With an array of 3 antennas covering a 120° sector and 3 radios, the WBS-2400 Sector leverages Wavion’s beamforming technology to provide superior connectivity and extended range. These unmatched characteristics enable service providers, municipalities, and enterprises to deliver high quality, Wi-Fi service with significantly fewer base stations at a much lower cost.

The WBS-2400 Sector base station is the ideal solution for Wi-Fi deployments that require sector coverage. Based on Wavion’s unique and powerful spatially adaptive beamforming technology, and operating with any off-the-shelf 802.11b/g standard based clients, the WBS-2400 Sector provides significant performance gains in terms of range, throughput, indoor penetration and interference mitigation. This enables service providers to offer highly cost effective Wi-Fi service without compromising quality.

Benefits

* Superior range - Triples the coverage in comparison to conventional access points.
* Uniform coverage - Wavion beamforming technology maintains high quality signals in NLOS conditions, thus enabling uniform coverage of the entire area. This creates a larger addressable market per base station.
* Increased throughput - The superior link gain provides higher throughput and network capacity.
* Superior interference mitigation - The inherent spatial filtering of the beamforming technology and the unique dynamic interference handling capabilities ensure good operation even in noisy environments
* Cost effective - By increasing the addressable market per base station, and by the standards based approach, Wavion provides the lowest cost per line
* Carrier grade - Robust and weatherproof IP-67 platform, designed to withstand extreme weather conditions.

Technology:
Wavion beamforming technology focuses the energy to and from the client, on a per-packet basis. This focusing process increases significantly the link gain and the interference resiliency of the base station. Moreover, while conventional Wi-Fi technology suffers from the destructive effect of multipath propagation, Wavion’s digital beamforming technology exploits multipath to its advantage by coherently combining the signals along the different propagation paths to the client.

Applications
The WBS-2400 Sector base station has been optimized to for a wide range of applications including:
• Business connectivity
• Municipalities
• Public safety (video over wireless)
• VoIP / Rural connectivity
• Internet to schools and communities
• Residential access
• Building coverage
• Hospitality
Typical application:
Wavion’s WBS-2400 Sector base station is ideal for suburban and urban installations. When properly installed, the WBS-2400 Sector can provide wide sector coverage for indoors CPEs and mobile users. It can also be used for indoors coverage of large buildings such as hotels. The sector range can be further extended by using outdoor CPEs. In case of larger capacity requirements per site, an additional WBS-2400 sector unit can be co-located in the same site pointing to a different or same direction.
