Wibe - Reinventing Broadband™
Applications
- Rural broadband
- Home or small office data connection
- Extending cellular data coverage
- Backup for enterprise wired broadband
Description
Wireless communication is an everyday part of life, but in many areas ADSL speeds are slow and satellite and fixed
broadband wireless solutions are expensive. Advances in 3G mobile broadband now provide an excellent alternative.
The WiBE (Wireless Broadband Enabler) uses a multi-beam antenna to extend the range and throughput of a 3G mobile network.
This allows the 3G network to be a viable option, bringing speeds of up to 7.2 Mbps, and at most locations an average of at
least 2 Mbps to rural areas. The WiBE scans using a patented multi-beam antenna system and selects the link offering the best
data connection. It keeps scanning automatically to ensure that the best available link to the 3G network is maintained.
The WiBE provides WiFi coverage within the home or small business using a powerful IEEE802.11bgn WiFi router with many advanced
features. These include integrated security and firewall, as well as QoS (Quality of Service) support.
