How it works:
Basestation Gateway
broadcasts the EtherLinx signal from atop of a tall building or tower
using standard 2.4 GHz ISM sector and/or omni directional antennas over
a 10 mile footprint radius (longer ranges can be achieved with
specialized antennas) . A five (5) miles radius footprint is
recommended for a Non-Line of Site (NLOS) design. The
Internet backbone connection is established at the Basestation Gateway.
EtherLinx's Basestation Authentication Controller and network
management provide full roaming capability, built in data transport
security, and access management functionality.
Omni Repeaters
located within the footprint accepts the EtherLinx signal and then
rebroadcasts it (repeats and strengthens the signal). This unique
technology ( repeater functionality) is low cost and it mitigates
the Line of Site (LOS) and range problems associated with 2.4GHz
frequency. The Omni Repeaters can be located on poles, roof tops,
or buildings. The combination of the Basestation Gateway and Omni
Repeaters creates the robust NLOS environment required for zero
installation, portable, and mobile solutions.
Residential Gateway (Low cost CPE or customer premise equipment)
is installed at the homes or businesses that require the broadband
wireless connection. The Residential Gateway employs standard
CAT-5 Ethernet connection that plugs directly into a computer, hub/switch
and or wireless access point.
Dual-Mode WiFi Repeater and Gateway is installed within
the footprint or at the home to instantly create a WiFi hotspot. A
metropolitan WiFi network can easily be built by deploying multiple
EtherLinx Dual-mode WiFi Repeaters. This Dual-mode WiFi repeater
leverages the EtherLinx broadcast then converts it to standard WiFi
(802.11a,b or g) so that a laptop or PDA users can have instant wireless
access using standard WiFi cards in their computers. The user
doesn't need special hardware or software. The Dual-mode repeater
supports all standard IEEE 802.11WiFi enabled devices. This capability is
expected to accelerate the ability for WiFi hotspots to be deployed
quickly and in large numbers.
