As SensorTec’s fourth-generation OFDM multipoint product line in the 5GHz frequency band, the AIRLINE-Clarity series represents a new class of cost-effective and yet feature-rich product solutions for rural and emerging markets for competitive Internet Service Providers. At the heart of the system is the newly designed MAC protocol optimized for efficiency and scalability in dense subscriber deployments in multipoint systems. The PPM Protocol is based on a deterministic polling algorithm that will enhance the system capacity and subscriber unit count per base station. This new protocol, based on SensorTec’s successful 802.11d WiMAX product lines, is designed to provide the utmost performance for carriers and enterprises.
AIR- LAN has its MAC protocol tuned for optimal downlink performance in order to fit the profile of traffic patterns of ISP operations. The improved RF link performance allows for more flexible deployments as well. The advanced MIMO-based OFDM technology enhances near line-of-sight connections. SensorTec’s HyperARQ protocol is designed to preserve the data
throughput even at long link distances. The second Ethernet port can be used to power up another 24V device such as
an IP camera or as a second LAN port.
