Service providers are immersed with turning up new wired networks as quickly as possible to meet existing demand from wired customers. Delays installing and provisioning new wireline-based equipment and circuits can be a significant barrier to keeping and winning new customers while the demand for Internet access simply increases. The development of high performance, robust and scalable wireless mesh networking enables the delivery of wireless Ethernet services delivered by local exchange carriers, inter-exchange carriers, mobile service providers, MSO/cable operators, utility-based service providers and independent operating companies. Wireless Ethernet maximizes the benefits WiFi and sophisticated Mesh network technologies, making the planning, deployment, and operations of such networks substantially more cost effective than wired counterparts.
Designed to deliver first, middle and last mile services, Strix Systems wireless Ethernet solution is deployed for internet access, transparent LAN services, metro Ethernet extension, private network connectivity, backhaul for cellular base stations, DSLAM/NGDLC’s and a variety of other applications, the proper wireless Ethernet architecture delivers high bandwidth wireless for large-scale municipal, city-wide and country-wide networks implemented with equal performance at half the cost of a wired network. In competitive situations where access to customers is blocked by a competitive provider, wireless services provide equal, if not greater ability to attract new and existing customers. As wired networks expand and geography creates additional potential expense. Wiring hundreds, and potentially thousands of sites across tens or hundreds of square miles, is not always feasible for wired networks. Wireless backhaul extension can be implemented to extend those services while offering new mobile services along the way. The mobility aspect of wireless Ethernet opens up immediate and long term opportunities for voice, video and data applications as computing power and network capabilities improve and consumers expect more from their devices. Multimedia is the requirement, with Internet access being the primary vehicle for secured VPN or simple Internet connectivity. But that's not all; these same users desire the added convenience of total mobility.
Wireless Mesh networks solve the issues of service delivery and quick deployment while reducing the initial capital expense and ongoing costs of operating and managing the network. Strix Systems and our partners have successfully proven that wireless mesh networks can be deployed profitably and quickly while also providing the services and meeting the expectations of businesses and consumers as well as state, local and federal government.
