Airborne Technical Advantage - Highly efficient mesh

Airborne Product Differentiation

Airborne carrier-class infrastructure supports WiFi, WiMax and 3G and in the same radio node, providing industry-leading flexibility and superior coverage,. Distributed network topography delivers significant performance and cost benefits [up to 70% capex savings]. Airborne nodes are both small enough to be mounted on street furniture and efficient enough to be entirely self-powering where access to grid power is limited.

Backplane Architecture

Airborne Networks unique radio backplane architecture enables simultaneous WiMax / WiFi / 3G subscriber access (facilitating access to new market segments).

Dedicated forward / backhaul transmission delivers unparalleled flexibility to operators to select appropriate subscriber access technology, reducing network maintenance overheads, & facilitating rapid network reconfiguration/upgrades. Dedicated radio cards within each node maintain connectivity to the previous node (backhaul) the next node (forwardhaul) and user support (access).

The radio cards are inter-connected via a backplane with advanced routing capabilities ensuring maximum efficiency & seamless communication between the different air interfaces via a common IP platform.

Single radios – bandwidth decreases and latency increase
disabling value added services such as VOIP & IP-TV



Airborne's multi-radio – bandwidth maintained with low latency
enabling value added services such as VOIP & IP-TV

Network Configuration

Demand led deployment not only applies to demographic consumer distribution, but also to the mix of supported services and air interfaces. With the core technology being capable of supporting a broad range of air interface standards, network operators are able to launch low cost networks initially provisioned with WiFi (2.4Ghz, 5Ghz, 5.8Ghz) progressively adding additional air interfaces as the business case for each becomes proven.
