Proxim Advantages


Proxim Technologies

WORP® (Wireless Outdoor Router Protocol)

Protocol designed by Proxim over the last 15 years

to improve Outdoor communicationSolves the hidden node problem,

protects the system from packet collisions

and transmits the data in an optimal way

Service flow based Quality of Service

to ensure that the most important

data arrives with priority.

Built in support for VoIP, IPTV,

streaming video and more

Connects over 100 remote nodes

without adverse effects

on total usable bandwidth

Over 75% efficiency


Proxim Technologies

Proxim ClearConnect™

Suit of multi-layer features that ensure wireless network

efficiency even in harsh environmentHybrid Automatic Re-transmission Request resends

only the missing fragment instead of the full frame

Dynamic Data Rate Selection and Automatic Transmit

Power Control adapts to optimize Signal to Noise Ratio

Satellite Density evaluates the noise floor and set a filter level

for rejecting noise

Proxim FastConnect™

High speed mobility (295 km/h - 185 mph)

built into Tsunami devices over the last 10 yearsUnparalleled handoff times <40msec with packet

buffering

Adaptable to network design

Supports delay-sensitive multimedia applications


Proxim Technologies

Proxim SmartConnect™

Next generation improvements that anticipates

disturbance to optimize performance

Smart antenna that steers itself toward

the remote end to limit interferences

from nearby RF sourcesBy improving the radio SNR, smart antenna

allows to use higher modulation and thus

improves throughput

Scan radio that performs background

analysis of the full RF spectrum and

create channel availability table to

immediately switch to a free channel

in case of weather radar detection or

heavy interferenceBy cancelling the initial transmission delay,

scan radio makes DFS channel more appealing.

It opens access to the 5.600–5.650 GHz sub-band,

and enables effective use of up to 355 MHz of

DFS spectrum


Extreme Robustness

Proxim devices Robust and Secure

Outdoor enclosure are made of aluminum and IP67 certifiedProtect device against vandalism and weather aggression

Built in Secure management (SSL/TLS1.2, SSH, SNMP v3)

MAC and Radius Authentication plus AES encryption

Proxim devices are built to last

Some 15 years old Legacy device (AP-4000, MP/QB-5054) are still up and

running

Device are design to deliver over 250 000 hours (almost 30 years) calculated

MTBF

Tsunami WORP® or Wi-Fi®

Due to Wi-Fi device lower cost, it is tempting to use standard Access

Point

with WDS or Mesh for outdoor point to multipoint connectivity

However, only WORP is really adapted for last miles operation.WORP Wi-Fi

Network Control Base Station scheduled polling:

Solves hidden node issue

created by the use of directional

antennas (in order to achieve

long range)

Carrier Sense Multiple Access with

Collision Avoidance (CSMA-CA):

Effective only if all devices hear

each other (very short range)

Scalability High: Hundred clients per BS

without performance impact

Poor: Performance degradation

above ten clients per AP

Efficiency From 75 to 90 % Typically 50%

QoS Service flow based with

guaranteed delivery (CIR, MIR,

latency, jitter…):

Ensure delivery whatever the

traffic

Enhanced Distributed Channel

Access: Not effective under load

especially for voice or video

Multicast Supported at full modulation Transmit in low modulation

or split into multiple unicast

Interoperability With Tsunami only With all Wi-Fi certified device:


Tsunami WORP® or LTE™

With the growing adoption of LTE and LTE Advanced

technology, temptation is great to use LTE solution for fixed application

Relay Node deployment for backhaul

4G indoor/outdoor router for last mile access

However even if it looks like a good and cheap solution it may not be

the best move for your company:

LTE is designed for mobile application Based on FDD with larger bandwidth DL than UL, LTE does not match backhaul

needs

Tsunami using WORP is flexible and dynamically adapt itself to the network

requirement

LTE is not designed to operate in license free bandLTE-U (Unlicensed) generates high interferences for nearby Wi-Fi devices

3GPP r13 LTE-LLA (License Assisted Access) solves Wi-Fi coexistence issue.

However the added Listen Before Talk (LTB) mechanism impacts performances

and does not solve the hidden node problem.

Tsunami using WORP polling mechanism is immune to hidden node effects.

Moreover, with 75% efficiency it delivers more bits per hertzChannel Size Max data rateMax

throughput

Tsunami 5 GHz 5 to 80 MHz 866 Mbps 672 Mbps

Tsunami 6.4

GHz5 to 40 MHz 300 Mbps 240 Mbps


Tsunami WORP® or LTE™

Using LTE band for last mile access, operator looses 75% of its revenue

compared to Mobile usage

Use expensive licensed spectrum for maximum revenue generation

The lower cost, more efficient, Tsunami represents the maximum backhauling

or last miles access business case for operators

ORiNOCO®

Enhancement


Advanced Controller

ProximVision advanced v2.0.1 and ORiNOCO AP-9100 / AP-9100R

latest firmware provide Advanced Controller features:

Layer 2 and Layer 3 Discovery

Takes advantage of DHCP option to provision

PV advanced IP address into APs

Access Point RF Management

APs set themselves on the same channel

to collect each others RF information

PV Advanced collects data to calculate

each APs optimum channel

PV Advanced configures each AP with

determined parameters

Device Positioning

Clients position is calculated based on AP report

Clients are color coded based on RSSI

AP are color coded based on load

Clicking on one AP/Client shows associated devices

One moving client can be tracked on the map


Advanced Controller

Load Balancing

When deploying a large network with overlapping Access Points,

most clients tend to connect to the same AP even if a neighbor

AP has less traffic.Load Balancing redirects clients toward lower traffic AP.

PV Advanced keeps track of AP load (last minute air time level)Upon association, new clients are disassociated if AP is overloaded

During operation, half the clients are disassociated if AP is overloaded

Band Steering

When using dual radio Access Point, most clients tend to connect

to the 2.4 GHz radio even if they are capable of using 5 GHz frequencyBand Steering enabled APs ensure clients are evenly distributed between

the two radios

PV Advanced keeps track of 5 GHz capable clientsUpon association, 5 GHz capable clients trying to

connect to 2.4 GHz radio are disassociated

Modern client devices avoid sending association

request to AP that just disassociates this client.


Fast Roaming

Fast Roaming improves the roaming performance of Wi-Fi

clients by reducing the time taken to roam between APs

Fast Roaming in Proxim APs is based on two independent

and complementary features

Fast BSS Transition (802.11r) – Two variants:

Over-the-Air Fast Transition

Over-the-DS Fast Transition

FastConnect

Not all mobility project requires constant connection

A train or bus may need connectivity only while reaching stations

FastConnect™ SU Nomadicity

enables a mobile SU to moves

from one BSU to the next

when there is coverage

discontinuation between BSUs.

It does not preserve the

established layer-2 connection

to the backbone network due

to coverage holes.

It uses SNR variation

(instead of level like mobility)

to determine when to switch.
