Wavion WBS-5800 Sector base station is a new addition to Wavion’s advanced broadband base station portfolio, which operates in the 5.8 GHz unlicensed band. With an array of 3 antennas covering a 120° sector and 3 radios, the WBS-5800 Sector leverages Wavion’s beamforming technology to provide superior connectivity in Line-of-Sight (LOS) and Non-Line-of-Sight (NLOS) conditions with extended range. These unmatched characteristics enable service providers, municipalities, and enterprises to deliver high quality, broadband wireless service with significantly fewer base stations at a much lower cost.

The WBS-5800 base station is a standards based platform, which enables network operators to tailor their solution according to the specific needs of each individual end user. Based on Wavion’s unique and powerful spatially adaptive beamforming technology, the WBS-5800 provides significant performance gains in terms of range, throughput and interference mitigation to any off-the-shelf 802.11a standard based client. This enables service providers to offer highly cost effective broadband wireless service without compromising quality.

Benefits

* 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
* Standards based platform - Enables service providers to select standard off-the-shelf, cost-effective network components including CPEs, billing and provisioning systems.
* 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 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 and from the client.

Applications
The WBS-5800 Sector base station has been optimized for a wide range of applications including:
• Business and residential connectivity
• Municipalities – Metro coverage
• Public safety (video over wireless)
• Backhaul solution for PtP and PtMP applications
Typical application:
Wavion’s broadband wireless access solution is ideal for urban and suburban installations. When properly installed, the WBS-5800 Sector can provide coverage in a radius of up to 15Km with multiple CPEs in LOS or NLOS conditions. Using the WBS-5800 sector with outdoor CPEs enables to create high quality broadband wireless service for business and residential customers. Alternatively, 3 WBS-5800 Sector Base Station can be colocated to provide 360° coverage with triple capacity. The same network can be used for supporting multiple video surveillance cameras. In some cases you can provide an end to end wireless solution with access at 2.4GHz, based on the WBS-2400, and backhaul bases on WBS-5800 Sector at 5.8GHz.
