Reliawave™ RWV 802.11a/b/g Outdoor AP/Router/Hotspot Controller


The Reliawave RWV product line is a wireless network-in-box solution designed to enable the immediate deployment of profitable public and/or cost-effective private WLAN networks by service providers and enterprises. Designed for outdoor deployment, the RWV can be used for traditional fixed wireless deployments, using a CPE device, or to beams signals into buildings from the outside allowing for simple to manage mobile/hotspot solutions! It integrates wireless access and back haul in to a single simple to install solutions. This cellular architecture simplifies WLAN infrastructures and eliminates crippling T1 and DSL back haul costs, which have so far stifled the deployment of economical, medium- and large-scale public WLAN networks.

BENEFITS  
• Eliminates the need for cables, extra switches and routers to interconnect wireless nodes. • Reduces WLAN operating expenditures by up to 90%.
• Requires five to ten times fewer access points compared to indoor solutions. • Eliminates T1, DSL and other back haul costs.
• Eliminates disruptive, in-building network deployment. • Reduces WLAN capital expenditures by up to 70%.
   
APPLICATION:  
• High speed fixed wireless up to 15 mile radius (WISP) • Apartment buildings
• Hot spots, such as coffee shops, book stores, office buildings • Campuses
• Complex shaped buildings
• Buildings where it is difficult to add cables
• Corporate offices, manufacturing centers, universities, hospitals, research parks,municipal centers • Hot zones such as business districts, office parks, airports, hotels, conference centers, recreation areas, and shopping malls

To enable unparalleled deployment flexibility the RWV product line is a compact, environmentally hardened outdoor package that allows for a variety of mounting options. It can be mounted on any type of pole or readily attached to the side or roof of a building. Installation can be completed by one person, in one trip.here are no extra switches, routers or cables required to connect multiple RWV's. The 2.4Ghz or 5Ghz backbone provides carrier-class network level redundancy to ensure service availability without operator intervention. It also makes interconnecting the RWV platforms much simpler and more cost-effective than conventional architectures. Salability and reliability are enhanced because the cellular LAN supports multiple, full duplex, Fast Ethernet exit points. In addition, wireless routing with load balancing using OSPF or BGP with alternate paths are used to enhance system availability and provide a self-healing network.The true value of the RWV's is its ability to enable the deployment of medium- and large-scale WLAN/MAN's that make business sense. By integrating the access radio and the interconnection network between access points into a single, compact, outdoor package, the RWV's dramatically reduces capital and operating expenses. It goes beyond basic WiFi to provide low-cost, mobile networking without limits for service providers, enterprises, and users.
