| Aperto® Network’s PacketWave® point-to-point product line features a number of advanced technologies, several of which were introduced to the point-to-point wireless market for the first time by Aperto. |
| |
| Link distance and spectral efficiency are two of the most fundamental values in any point-to-point wireless product, and Aperto excels at both of them. Aperto’s Link Distance is one of the longest available in its price range. The system gives the operator the choice to use a variety of antenna types, thus enabling even larger link distances with higher gain antennae. Aperto’s Spectral Efficiency (or how many bits it can pack in the available bandwidth) is one of the best in the industry. Up to 20 non-overlapping channels are made available in the 125 MHz of spectrum in the 5.8 MHz ISM band, as compared to the 4-6 channels available in most other products. |
| |
| The PacketWave point-to-point product offers a unique feature that enables the operator to synchronize multiple co-located point-to-point links. This enables the operator to do the following: |
|
|
|
| Aperto uses a number of technologies to make the wireless link more robust to multipath and interference, including: |
|
|
|
| Working together seamlessly, these technologies enable the system to keep operating smoothly, even with packet error rates as high as 5-10%. This enables the system to operate in OLOS/NLOS environments, as well as in crowded license exempt frequency bands where Interference is an un-avoidable fact of life. |
| |
| Aperto is alone among broadband wireless vendors in offering a Flexible Channel Size, which can vary from 6 MHz down to 4 MHz. In license exempt bands, it increases the number of available channels and makes it easier for the operator to find clean chunks of spectrum in a crowded environment. |
| |
| In addition several tools are provided to facilitate the configuration and management of each base station system (i.e. base station, each channel and all SUs served by this base station). Those tools include: |
|
- The Advanced Installation Manager to facilitate quick installation and initial configuration of the point-to-point units. This tool also enables the installer to correctly point the antenna, by plotting the received signal and SNR levels. Note that this pointing can be done at either end of the link.
- The Web-based Graphical User Interface for remote monitoring and configuration of the point-to-point units.
- The Upgrade Manager (UM) for software upgrade support
- SNMP
|
|
These tools provide all functionalities to the service provider to configure, manage, control and monitor each of PacketWave systems.
