WS410

The WavionTM WS410 Spatially Adaptive Wi-Fi

Access Point transforms wireless metropolitan

area networks by overcoming the most chal-

lenging barriers to metro Wi-Fi deployment.

The WS410 uses patented Wavion technology

to take Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO)

smart-antenna techniques to a new level,

employing advanced digital beamforming to

dramatically enhance IEEE 802.11b/g wireless

networks. The access point delivers the range,

coverage, capacity, indoor penetration, and return

on investment that make metro-scale outdoor

wireless networks practical and profitable.

The range of the WS410 covers two to three

times the area of conventional Wi-Fi Access

Points. Superior range at each node means the

network can be scaled to reach a larger group

of users, yielding higher subscriber revenues

at lower cost in terms of equipment and oper-

ating expenses. In addition, networks with

ranged-optimizing WS410 access points are

simpler to install and easier to maintain.

With greater range also comes more and better

coverage. The WS410 provides users with a

powerful and high quality signal that is not

dependent on line-of-sight positioning, and is

highly resistant to interference. This results in

far fewer dead spots and helps eliminate dis-

ruptions caused by both fixed obstacles and

changes in the environment. Mobile users get

stronger connections with fewer associations

between client and access point while the cli-

ent is in motion. And network providers can

offer a higher quality of service without

increasing access point density.

WS410 access points also increases the

throughputs and the capacity of the network,

serving more users per node and boosting

throughput for each user. Users can be granted

adequate bandwidth for all their applications—

now, and in the future as more users and

bandwidth-intensive applications are added to

the network.

High bi-directional link gain allows the WS410

to penetrate buildings and walls better than

conventional access points, enabling full net-

work access for people—where they live, work,

learn, and travel. Deeper indoor penetration

also helps eliminate the need for separate

indoor Wi-Fi networks.

Wavion technology makes metro Wi-Fi infra-

structures significantly less costly to install,

operate, and maintain. Providers can save on

capital and operating expenses, accelerating

return on investment and making metro wire-

less services affordable for a broad range of

municipalities and enterprises. A WS410

deployment needs fewer units, and mini-

mizes the need for expensive installs in pre-

carious or inconvenient sites.

WAVION’S BREAKTHROUGH DIGITAL BEAMFORMING TECHNOLOGY ENABLES SERVICE PROVIDERS,

COMMUNITIES, AND ENTERPRISES TO DELIVER SUPERIOR WIRELESS CONNECTIVITY WITH FEWER

WS410Transforming Metro Wi-Fi

Conventional metro Wi-Fi access points are based on a sin-

gle radio and diversity antenna, and use commoditized

chipsets designed for indoor applications. However, to meet

the more stringent demands of outdoor wireless operation,

metro Wi-Fi networks require access points equipped with

powerful technologies and custom-designed ASICs

designed specifically for metro-scale implementations.

The Wavion WS410 access point uses six radio transceivers

and six antennas, and employs advanced digital beam-

forming to optimally focus radio energy to and from network

clients on a per-packet basis. This advanced technology

provides significant performance gains for any off-the-shelf,

802.11 standards-based Wi-Fi client.

The WS410 access point’s intelligence resides in custom-

ized ASICs and embedded software engineered to optimize

operation in metropolitan-wide environments. The ASICs

tightly integrate beamforming signal processing with the

PHY and MAC network layers, incorporating advanced

algorithms that continually compensate for dynamic

outdoor conditions.

DIGITAL BEAMFORMING ADVANTAGESThe key to highly effective beamforming is the ability to exploit

the different propagation paths, or multipaths, that carry data

to and from the users, so that the signals in the different

paths combine coherently. This results in increased link

gain and better non-line-of-sight operation.

The improved bi-directional link gain can be used to

increase the range of the node, enabling deployments

that require only one-third the number of access points as

conventional installations. Or, alternatively, providers can

use the greater range to increase the throughput of the

network without having to add equipment. Higher link

gain also provides much better indoor penetration. This

reduces the need for specialized customer premises

equipment (CPE), a major cost for service providers that

can undermine the expense and support structure of metro

Wi-Fi installations.

In addition, digital beamforming offers greater interference

resilience due to its inherent spatial directivity. And it permits

robust links to fast-moving mobile users because of the

technology’s powerful diversity characteristics.

A Metro Wi-Fi Breakthrough

Wavion Spatially Adaptive Access Point Wavion breaks through the barriers of conventional Wi-Fi solutions by providing seamless, ubiquitous broadband service for the mobile population.

SCALABLE VOICE OVER WI-FI The WS410 provides strength and clarity of voice

transmissions by reducing latency and jitter. The higher

throughput offered by the WS410 also contributes to voice

quality by minimizing delays.

SUPERIOR MOBILITY SUPPORTThe WS410 supports mobile users by tracking them on a per-

packet basis to ensure highest performance at all times.

SSID, VLAN, AND SECURITY SUPPORTThe WS410 supports up to 16 Service Set Identifiers (SSIDs)

and up to 16 virtual LANs (IEEE 802.1q VLANs) for whole-

sale and retail services. Different security options can be

associated to each VLAN.

To prevent unauthorized network intrusion, the WS410

supports Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) and is software upgrad-

able to WPA2 Enterprise (IEEE 802.11i) security methods.

COMPREHENSIVE MANAGEMENT TOOLSThe WS410 Spatially Adaptive Access Point is a highly

manageable device with a complete suite of remote

management capabilities, including web-based configura-

tion and Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)

traffic monitoring with a full set of system performance and

switching statistics. The onboard management system

features an easy-to-use graphical user interface.

VERSATILE IMPLEMENTATIONOne WS410 can serve up to 254 clients. Ruggedized and

weatherproof, the access points may be mounted on light

poles, rooftops, or any other suitable outdoor location, and

can be easily integrated with other backhaul options.
