The wireless technology used in the parks is also made available to businesses
in the Chattanooga Area by Air Net Group, Inc. The AirNet Broadband Access
Series provides the fastest, most stable, and most secure connectivity available,
all at competitive prices.
 Wireless Deployment Overview
As a part of the AirNet Broadband Access Series, the Access Point (AP) coordinates
and manages TCP/IP-based data in a point to multi-point architecture. With the
ability to support 500 concurrent subscriber connections, the AirNet Broadband
Wireless AP provides the most scalable and flexible Internet access solution on
the market today! Operating in the unlicensed 5.8 GHz ISM band, the AP circumvents
the hassle associated with installation of traditional last mile solutions. Spread
spectrum technology and the proprietary MAC provides superior interference immunity
with the ability to provide quality of service (QoS) unheard of at this price
point.
The Subscriber Unit (SU) is the interface to the TCP/IP compatible device, whether
it be a switched hub or a PC network interface card (NIC). Operating in the unlicensed 5.8 GHz
ISM band, the SU circumvents the hassle associated with installation of traditional last mile
solutions and enabled with the ability to handle up to 10 Mbps to the subscriber, the AIrNet SU
presents a platform for future growth to deliver services such as voice over IP (VoIP) or video
on demand (VoD). Spread spectrum technology and the proprietary MAC provides superior interference
immunity with the ability to provide quality of service (QoS) unheard of at this price point.
The 3 mile version of the AirNet Subscriber Unit kit consists of the SU (a full 10 Mbps, 5.8 GHz
ISM band, license-free transceiver), electronically switchable subscriber antenna, a Junction Box Kit
(used to break-out power and 10BaseT Ethernet traffic along with a 20 VDC power supply). Our 15-mile
version incorporates an external DSS style antenna along with our Subscriber radio product. With our
high gain (27 dBi) dual-polarized antenna, you can cover distances up to 15 miles. The SU features
the ability to work with the Access Point (AP) to tell the AP where it is so that it gets serviced
equally as everyone else. And, if you need to go farther than 15 miles, we just use a higher
gain subscriber antenna.
Redundancy Built In (a.k.a. the Sleep Well feature)
AirNet Broadband Wireless embedded a special feature in every SU that addresses the problem of
disrupted network service. In the event an SU cannot communicate with its primary AP, the SU
will intelligently search for a pre-programmed fall back AP to communicate with. This feature
allows the client to actually sleep at night knowing that each user's network link will still
be up in the morning.
Spread Spectrum Reliability with Speed
There is a reason the military chose this scheme to send data. Spread spectrum has the inherent
advantage over other forms of transmission in that it can still recover data even in the most noisy
of RF environments where other architectures fail. Plus, the design of every SU incorporates this
field proven standard. This isn't something new, just something very reliable and robust and at 10
Mbps, did we mention fast?
