据Cambium Networks产品管理总监Tom Moder介绍，Gigatower本周巴塞罗那举行的2013年移动世界大会（Mobile World Congress）上展出，Gigatower基于Canopy PMP 450平台
“Gigatower实际上是部署PMP 450的一种方式—我们的无许可证、无视线组合—您可以从该配置中获得高达1080 Mb/s的速度，这实际上是两个由六个接入点组成的环，这些接入点被划分为扇区，允许您以非常高的吞吐量覆盖大量用户，“莫德接受《紧急通讯》采访时说。“就接入层而言，这是我们第一次真正实现一种组合，从可用频谱的角度来看，这对于部署和实现频谱意义重大。”
他说，Cambium Networks目前可5.4ghz和5.8ghz频段上运行，它正寻求扩展产品范围，以其他频段工作，包括2.4ghz未经许可的和3.65ghz的轻许可频段。此外，他说，为了公共安全，该公司正考虑使用4.9GHz频谱的版本
莫德说，虽然固定无线解决方案经常被用来为缺乏有线资源的农村地区提供宽带，但情况并非总是如此
他说：“有时他们的服务确实很好，但如果你看一下你为E-1或T-1线路支付的费用与无线功能相比，确实很贵。”
莫德说，Cambium Networks预计Gigatower将吸引多个行业，从无线互联网提供商到希望校园环境中扩展数据连接的企业
他说：“如果他们想从一栋楼连接到另一栋楼，又不想挖出人行道来使用某种有线解决方案，那么它可以是任何一个小到校园的环境。”。或者，也可以是一个距离你有多个建筑物的区域
他说，最新的Cambium网络设备将其吞吐量提高一倍，从而提供足够的容量来支持流式视频等带宽密集型应用
“当你有这样的容量和可靠的性能，它实际上使无线成为一个非常可行的选择，坦白说，较低的吞吐量是不可能的，”Moder说
Cambium Networks recently announced its Gigatower wireless broadband solution, which delivers more than 1 gigabit of capacity via a point-to-multipoint (PMP) modular design, while extending a coverage area to more than 75 square miles, according to the company.
Showcased during the 2013 Mobile World Congress this week in Barcelona, the Gigatower is based on the Canopy PMP 450 platform, according to Tom Moder, Cambium Networks’ director of product management.
“The Gigatower is really a way to deploy the PMP 450 — our unlicensed, non-line-of-sight portfolio — and you can get up to 1,080 Mb/s off of that configuration, which is really two rings of six access points that are sectorized to allow you to cover a very large number of users with a very high throughput rate,” Moder said during an interview with . “It’s the first time we’ve actually had a combination, in terms of an access layer, that would really make economic sense for someone to deploy and make spectrum sense, in terms of what’s available.”
Available currently for operation on 5.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz spectrum, Cambium Networks is looking to expand the offering to work in other spectrum bands, including the 2.4 GHz unlicensed and 3.65 GHz lightly licensed airwaves, he said. In addition, the company is considering versions that would operate on 4.9 GHz spectrum for public safety, he said.
While fixed wireless solutions often are used to provide broadband to underserved rural areas that lack access to wired resources, that is not always the case, Moder said.
“Sometimes they’re actually well served, but it’s really expensive, when you look at what you’re paying for an E-1 or T-1 line versus a wireless capability,” he said.
Cambium Networks anticipates the Gigatower to appeal to several sectors, from wireless Internet providers to enterprises wanting to spread a data connection throughout a campus environment, Moder said.
“It can be anything as small as a campus environment, if they want to get connectivity from one building to another and don’t want to dig up the pavement to use some kind of wired solution,” he said. “Or, it can be in an area where you have multiple buildings some distance away.”
By doubling its throughput offering, the latest Cambium Network gear provides enough capacity to support bandwidth-intensive applications such as streaming video, he said.
“When you have that kind of capacity and that kind of reliable performance, it actually makes wireless a very viable option for those kinds of applications that frankly weren’t possible at the lower throughputs,” Moder said. |
