1. Introduction
sunami Multipoint is a point-to-multipoint outdoor wireless system offering a
high-capacity alternative to wired data networks. Using IP packet radio
transmitters, standard Ethernet interfaces, and an easy to-deploy design, the
Tsunami Multipoint system enables high-speed network connections to
multiple Ethernet switches, routers or PCs from a single location. With Tsunami
Multipoint, you can now avoid the delays and costs associated with wired connections
such as DSL, cable modems, and leased T I /E I lines. Tsunami Multipoint eliminates
wire/fiber installation costs and recurring monthly fees -delivering carrier-class
performance at an affordable price.
Tsunami Multipoint systems consist of one or more Subscriber Units that
communicate with a Base Station to provide high-performance wireless network
connections.
EXTEND OR ENHANCE YOUR NETWORK OVERNIGHT
With Tsunami Multipoint, there are no DSL, cable, or leased-line hassles to negotiate.
You no longer have to worry about man-made barriers to overcome. Easy installation
and operation allow network planners to quickly deploy up to 60 Mbps capacity
between locations, making it the ideal solution for:
§Establishing high-speed connections between Internet Service Providers and their
customers
§Organizations requiring high-capacity WAN connectivity between multiple buildings or
campuses
§Organizations or service providers seeking network redundancy for mission critical wired
connections
