Beeper provides a complete portfolio of Point-to-Point (PTP), Point-to-Multipoint (PTMP) and Mesh wireless solutions. In partnership with Koren Ron, Beeper’s highly resilient, high capacity wireless networks aggregate multiple, mission-critical applications covering broad geographic areas.
Technology
The robust network does not require any infrastructure, nor centralized management or administration.
Beeper robust PTP configuration combines ultra-high output power, flexible channel width capability, and industry-leading software mechanisms. The PTP solution is ideal for high-capacity backhaul and substation connectivity applications, delivering Ethernet data rates up to 100 Mbps.
With support for advanced Smart Mesh Networking, the PTMP solution can provide backhaul for Beeper’s mesh network clusters and extend high-bandwidth connectivity to rural areas. The same hardware is used for both the base station and subscriber units with the software determining the hardware’s functionality. PTMP networks are constructed around base stations, which can be built from a single radio with an omnidirectional antenna or in three-, four- and six-sector configurations. Separate radios for access and backhaul traffic deliver high-throughput to clients throughout the mesh network.
Beeper’s high-performance wireless mesh networks, subscriber devices also act as network routers, creating instant mobile broadband networks. This increases network robustness while decreasing deployment costs.
Range and Capacity – Inexpensive, electronically-steerable directional antenna and/or MIMO, multi-frequency meshes, multi-radio hardware for capacity enhancement via greater spectrum utilization, data channel MAC with interference management for higher throughput, route selection with multiple radios (channels) and link quality metrics
