Extend Service from Fiber Downlinks
Extend Service from Fiber Downlinks
The Challenge
Research has shown that in metropolitan areas, a fiber optic network loops the city with fiber spurs terminating in only approximately 40,000 of the 750,000 major office buildings in the US. Despite comparable needs, the remaining 710,000 urban office buildings cannot access the equivalent fiber bandwidth. There are not enough downlinks. A highly reliable, affordable extension to those fiber spurs is needed.
The Solution
Proxim wireless point-to-point and multipoint equipment provides the highest reliability and bandwidth for creating a metro-area network extending from an existing fiber spur. Service Providers or large corporations install Proxim wireless equipment on buildings with fiber downlinks and fan out broadband connectivity to surrounding buildings. Proxim offers a broad product line to ensure sufficient capacity for major office buildings in a wireless MAN.
Once that wireless MAN is in place, local Internet access can be sold into the community or extended to other company offices in the area. With Proxim’s ORiNOCO Wi-Fi gear, wireless Internet service extends the MAN into the community with Wi-Fi hotspots.
