High-Speed, Long-Haul PtP

 

Secure Wireless

Point-to-Point TowerWhatever the phrase –Last mile connectivity, Local loop, Last Reach, or Broadband Wireless Access – it’s all defined the same:  The ability to connect anywhere, anytime, anyhow.  LTI DataComm understands that the increasing desire for secure high-speed connectivity at any given moment is continually growing and is not only a demand but it is becoming a flat out necessity.   Global Information, Inc. estimates with the accelerating demand for broadband access around the world and lack of infrastructure, there remains a formidable barrier to addressing customer needs, and broadband wireless networks will increasingly provide the solution.

LTI DataComm has teamed with best in breed vendors to provide the right solution for the right environment.  Whether it’s backhauling data over distances up to 160km, with bandwidth requirements up to 300Mbps, requiring a mobile on the fly bridge kit, or trying to connect two sites with near- on non-line of site, LTI DataComm can not only provide the solution, but will exceed any and all expectations.

Our wireless engineers have researched and tested numerous platforms and have selected the most prominent and leading partners available today on the market. With the ability to operate in the unlicensed bands of 5.4Ghz, 5.8Ghz, and extending functionality into the 4.4Ghz, Public Safety 4.9Ghz, and the recently opened specialized military 2.5Ghz band, LTI can provide solutions that include radios with performance and reliability in mind. 

PtP bridges can deliver up to 99.999% availability in non-line-of-sight environments, across long-distance line-of-sight paths, over water and open terrain, even in extreme weather conditions, due to the unique combination of technologies included in every system.

Multiple-Input-Multiple-Output (MIMO) -- transmits multiple signals which are de-correlated temporarily and spatially. Being de-correlated, each path fades at different times, and the receiver is able to select the best signal at any time, resulting in better performance and link availability

Intelligent Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (i-OFDM) -- i-OFDM helps the radios re-correlate the interfering signals, improving the chance of receiving the signal through reflective behavior

Adaptive Modulation – Ensures maximum throughput optimized for the radio path, even as path characteristics change. The transmitter and receiver negotiate the highest mutually sustainable data rate – then dynamically “upshift” and “downshift” the rate as radio frequency (RF) conditions change.

Dual Polarized Antennas – Two transmitters and two receivers are used to establish a link, enabling four different transmitter/receiver combinations.  By creating four distinct transmission beams, the chances that data will get through increase significantly.

Advanced Spectrum Management with Intelligent Dynamic Frequency Selection (i-DFS) i-DFS automatically changes channels to avoid interference and combat link fading without user intervention. At power-up and throughout operation, the radio scans the band (500 times a second) and automatically switches to the clearest channel.

 

INDUSTRY LEADING SOLUTIONS, CUTTING EDGE TECHNOLOGIES
LTI DataComm routinely examines the status of new and upcoming standards to stay on top new technologies, policy and security requirements, and available applications of new and existing solutions. This dedication has led to an unparalleled amount of available expertise for our clients to ensure they understand and are knowledgeable about the best options to meet their requirements such as (click to view/hide details):

WiMAX is a technology that provides high-speed, long-range broadband wireless distribution to metropolitan and rural markets, supporting data voice and video applications.  WiMAX products promise to set a new standard in BWA performance which will extend the range of WiFi networks from the local area to the metropolitan area and beyond. These products will be based upon the 802.16 standard and will support distances of up to 50 kilometers (30 miles).  An 802.16-based network allows network providers to set up base stations that consist of one or more sectors which are linked to the edge and core networks using wireless or wireline connections.  Unlike proprietary wireless access technologies, each base station can support hundreds of products from different vendors. This allows network planners to develop highly scalable networks.

WiMAX Forum Certified  broadband wireless solutions are capable of delivering high quality voice, video and data services and applications.  Designed to meet WiMAX Forum specifications, the hardware is completely interoperable with an emerging base of industry wide, WiMAX-compatible equipment.  Easy and economical to deploy, the product line facilitates the rapid provisioning of new, high margin and differentiated service offerings.   It’s very low latency ensures reliable delivery of delay-sensitive services in particular, including circuit-switched voice traffic, voice-over-Internet Protocol (VoIP), video and prioritized data traffic.

Carrier-class, PMP (point-to-multipoint) base station provides the ideal, scalable solution for any WiMAX access network. This solution can be deployed in clusters of up to six (60 degree) sectors to form high capacity, multi-sector cell deployments while its GPS time synchronization feature facilitates tight frequency reuse to make the most efficient use of available spectrum and channels, reducing interference when operating Time Division Duplexing (TDD) radios in close proximity.  

And when it’s licensed microwave technology that you need, another superb tool in the LTI DataComm wireless tool box is a solution set from one of the largest independent supplier of wireless transmission systems in the world. LTI has certified and dedicated technicians available to provide complete wireless network solutions supported by comprehensive network management software and world-class field services.  The digital microwave radios are built to last, delivering exceptional reliability and guaranteed operation and meeting the most stringent requirements, regardless of climate or terrain. 

LTI DataComm understands that sometimes a unlicensed radio solution just will not  be applicable to the environment and that’s why we are certified in designing and architecting a secure licensed solution.  That's why our solutions can include point-to-point digital microwave radio systems for mobile system access/backhaul, trunking and license-exempt applications, supporting new network deployments, network expansion, and capacity upgrades. Frequencies range from 2 to 38 GHz, covering regulatory and application requirements in all regions of the world. Capacities range from single T1/E1 to multiple OC-3/-STM-1, enabling cost-efficient, reliable transport.  Their digital microwave radios are built to last, delivering exceptional reliability and guaranteed operation and meeting the most stringent requirements, regardless of climate or terrain.
