PHIwave – Broadband Wireless Mesh Access
(2.4/5.8GHz) CPE/Access Point (Model: MAP-2854)
Introduction – What is a MAP-2854?
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.

The above antennas provide
different performance for different scenarios. Omni for omni direction
beaming whereas sector antennas have controlled sectorized
signals and for long range backfire parabolic antennas for distance. Network Management System
An intuitive GUI and powerful tools increase
productivity of network operations centers. With the ability to discover and
inventory equipment in real time, the PHIwave NMS
ensures fast deployment of BWA equipment and provisioning of customers. It
also provides powerful tools to ensure robust operation of the wireless
network and network elements and also accelerates the resolution of problems. NMS provides full FCAPS (Fault, Control, Accounting,
Performance, and Security) capabilities making network information easily
analyzable thereby allowing the network administrator to make fast,
intelligent choices. Information is displayed in intuitive screens while the
underlying real-time and historical performance data gathered from each
device is stored in a central relational database. NMS includes an embedded SQL database so no
additional software is required. NMS employs a highly efficient IP-based distributed
client/server architecture that can scale to support networks that contain
hundreds of thousands of elements e.g. CPEs or
Mother BSTs. Such scalability is achieved by
distributing the processing of NMS software modules (NMS Client, Radius AAA,
and Relational Database) across multiple servers. NMS provides administrators access to real-time
information displayed in either graphical or tabular form. Network and RF
performance parameters are closely monitored to achieve maximum usage of wireless
bandwidth and to ensure all customers are receiving their intended QoS service levels. Alarms and events are rapidly
processed. Within seconds of an actual alarm event, multiple NMS clients can
see this information allowing administrators to rapidly deploy solutions even
before the service provider’s end users may have noticed there was a problem. The Client CPEs performance is
viewable via the NMS system which indicates the link speed, RSSI, latency,
link throughput, and other performance key indicators (PKI). Every Mother
Base Station unit performance is also displayed to know at any moment how
many client CPEs are connected and all the user
login information. The Radius AAA (authentication, accounting and
administration) modules handle all the users
authentication functions and provide realtime
reports of usage patterns, IP addresses, MAC address, bandwidth used,
incoming and outgoing bandwidth utilization of individual client CPEs and also total network performance. If the Mother Base Stations are
meshed then the NMS also displays the mesh mother nodes performance and the
alternative routing parameters and performance. Outdoor Mother Base Station using Sector or Omni Antennas
Wireless Mother Base Station (MAP-2000-BST) and
Mesh Access Point (Model: MAP-2000 ODU) Outdoor Mesh Access Point with 1-5km
range Introduction The PHIwave‘s
Wireless Mesh Network Technology architecture
dramatically reduces T1 and DSL backhaul costs, which have so far stifled the
deployment of large hot zone and metro Wi-Fi
networks. To create the mesh, PHIwave uses its
unique, outdoor wireless mesh internetworking platforms that beam Wi-Fi signals over longer distance and range. The
combination of Mother Base Station and MAP-2000 Child Cells allows the
operator to create long range metro wireless networks easily. Our advanced
multi radio technology allows each node to be configured point-to-point with
directional sectoral or Point to MultiPoint mode with Omni PHItenna
antennas. Each node can connect to multiple others and the combined
connections form the wireless backhaul mesh. There are no extra switches,
routers or cables required to connect multiple platforms. The fully meshed
wireless backbone provides operator class Network level redundancy to ensure
service availability without operator intervention. By integrating the access
radio and the interconnection network between access points into a single,
compact, outdoor package, the PHIcell solution: • Eliminates
the need for cables, extra switches/hubs and routers to interconnect wireless
nodes • Requires
five to ten times fewer access points compared to indoor/outdoor solutions • Eliminates
disruptive, in-building network deployment • Reduces
WLAN capital expenditures by up to 70% • Reduces
WLAN operating expenditures by up to 90% • Eliminates
T1, DSL and other backhaul costs • Provides
five to ten times more capacity and 3-5x more signal
coverage and range compared to traditional wireless LAN solutions in the
market. 2. PHIwave –
Mesh Access Point Child Cell (Model: MAP - 2000)
Introduction – What is a MAP
MESH Network? "A mesh network is a network that employs one
of two connection arrangements, full mesh topology or partial mesh topology.
In the full mesh topology, each node is connected directly to each of the
others. In the partial mesh topology, nodes are connected to only some, not
all, of the other nodes." PHIcell’s
MAP-2000 is a long range 802.11g
54Mbps Wireless Mesh Access Point with a high performance throughput of
up to 20+Mbps that enables instant deployment of wireless networks and provide 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. The MAP-2000 can
be used indoors or outdoors and is encased in NEMA approved IP55 type weatherproof box. 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. Network installation costs will
drop dramatically because time-consuming wiring between offices, walls,
floors and different buildings is no longer needed. Provisioning is also easy
and fast because special drivers, setup, and interfaces are not required for
the equipment you connect to a MAP instant mesh network. A simple to use
management client is available to configure the mesh for each network
deployment. A more extensive Network
Management System (NMS) is also available when deployed with the Mother
Base Station and hundreds of MAP-2000 Child Cells. The MAP provides a fast and easy indoor network deployment and their
extended range ensures high link performance over long distances. A MAP mesh
also provides a portable network backbone, so moving your network is as easy
as taking your MAP devices with you to your new site. MAP 2.4 GHz ISM Band
mesh nodes are fully compatible with industry standard
802.11 b/g and is also capable of long range to extend to outdoor
applications. Ruggedized Emergency
The
rugged version of the MAP-2854-E is a rechargeable battery version of
the MAP-2854. The device will be able to float on water and can withstand
harsh environment usage in the jungle or sea or desert. It comes with a
portable battery charger and the battery is able last up to 4 or 8 hours of
continuous usage depending on which model MAP-2000-E4 (4 hours) or MAP-2000-E8
(8 hours). Longer duration models are available upon request.
3. Optional Peripherals
How does it work ? PHIwave’s MAP is a Multi-Radio
Wireless Mesh Access Point network solution which automatically interconnects
MAP access points together eliminating the need to wire up CAT5 LAN cables to
all access points. The advanced DSP and MAC layer processors handle the
sophisticated proprietary PMRP PHIwave Mesh Routing
Protocol algorithms to create seamless and ubiquitous networks anywhere at
anytime. Mesh Ad-hoc networks
In a mobile ad hoc network
(MANET) the nodes can move about arbitrarily. The network must be self-adapting
to the connectivity and propagation conditions, and also to the traffic and
user mobility pattern. Each node in a manet will
logically consists of a router that may have
multiple hosts and that also may have multiple wireless communications devices
or interfaces to other nodes. In principle, the network can be a standalone
network. However, this offers only a limited functionality. A usable network
must be globally connected through one or more fixed networks. The
alternatives range from using only fixed routable addresses in the ad hoc
network to several tunnel based schemes including Virtual Private Network
(VPN), Mobile IP and Network Address Translation (NAT) supported by catalogue
systems. PHIcell Mesh Access Points use
our PMRP is a proactive routing protocol for Mesh Adhoc
Networks. The PHIwave Mesh Routing Protocol is
developed for mobile ad hoc networks. It operates as a table driven,
proactive protocol, i.e., exchanges topology information with other nodes of
the network regularly. Each node selects a set of its neighbor nodes as
"multipoint relays" (MPR). In PMRP, only nodes, selected as such MPRs,
are responsible for forwarding control traffic, intended for diffusion into
the entire network. MPRs provide an efficient
mechanism for flooding control traffic by reducing the number of
transmissions required. PHIcells are
configured using the internal web based configuration module to set the
parameters like radio channels, WEP/WPA security modes, SSID etc. PHIcells are interoperable with standard Radius for
authentication, administration and accounting purposes.
