ACM:2008 – A focus on broadband
December 04, 2008 - Malaysia, KL Convention Centre
Over
300 exhibitors from 28 countries participated in the Malaysia’s largest
information and communications technology showcase - ACM:2008 ASEAN ICT
EXPO at the KL Convention Centre from 28 to 30 October.
Held in conjunction with the Experiencing Convergence. myBroadband Exhibition and Conference 2008, most exhibitors at ACM:2008 displayed their broadband-related products, services and concepts.
While it was impossible for the Comm & Tech Asia team to cover them all, here’s some we managed to cover.
WiMAX backhaul
Wireless
broadband is certainly hot in Malaysia right now with the four 2.3GHz
spectrum licensees rolling out their WiMAX services in the country and
local distributor Aglotel Wireless Solutions displayed a range of
high-capacity wireless infrastructure solutions from InfiNet Wireless
in Moscow, Russia.
These include the InfiLINK, point-to-point wireless backhaul solution, InfiMESH family of equipment for mesh networks with 2.4GHz 802.1 b & g WiFi access point and the InfiMAN family of multiple point-to-multipoint solutions for a wide rang eof business applications.
The InfiLINK 2 X 2 family has from 18 to 300 Mbps backhaul capacity in line-of-sight and non-line-or-sight communications and its operational range of up to 60km lets network operators build high-capacity networks with fewer network elements.
Its used in wireless Internet service provider (WISP) infrastructure backhaul links, building-to-building connectivity at Fast Ethernet speeds, redundant cellular backhaul, multiple E1/T1 time-division multiplex (TDM) and Ethernet/IP transport, is a cost-effective alternative to legacy microwave links, is a reliable backhaul for fibre lines and backhaul for WiMAX base stations.
It’s available in 2.3 – 2.4GHz and 4.9 – 6.0GHz frequency bands with 5, 10, 20 & 40 MHz chanel bandwidths.
“It uses a proprietary wireless backhaul solution based on orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) and PacketOne Networks uses it in the backhaul from its base stations, with WiMAX in the last mile,” said Joshua Chan, Aglotel Wireless chief executive officer.
The InfiMAN family comprises a range of powerful, high-capacity base stations for wide network coverage and different customer premises equipment (CPEs) depending on application.
It’s available for 900MHz, 2.3 – 2.7GHz, 3.4 – 3.6GHz and 4.9 – 6.4GHz frequencies, with each cell of up to 35km radius and its key uses are in city-wide corporate networks, video and closed-circuit TV surveillance, WISP/operator networks providing secure communications for government and corporate customers, for rural connectivity and in medium and long-range point-to-multipoint communications.
“It’s a wireless router designed especially for applications such as video surveillance and voice-over-IP (VoIP) and especially video surveillance is very demanding and requires real-time throughput and high quality-of-service (QoS),” said Joshua.
The InfiMESH family of products provides a suite of equipment for mesh networks including single- and dual-radio mesh nodes suited for mobile applications including high-speed video streaming.
It’s key applications include nomadic/mobile networks for public safety and mobile vehicle connectivity, fixed mesh networks for video surveillance, mesh networks of corporate, government and other customers as part of telco/WISP or private networks, ad-hoc emergency mesh networks and in WiFi hotzones using its long-range, high-power, built-n WiFi access point and antenna diversity.
InfiMESH is available for 2.3 – 2.4GHz, 3.4 – 3.7GHz, and 4.9 – 6.4GHz frequencies with WiFi access at 2.4GHz, supports self-healing and self-organising mesh networks with maximum throughput with minimum latency and minimizes operating costs, has end-to-end transparent QoS with 802.1p and DiffServe/ToS supportand supports mobile subscribers traveling at up to 160km/h.
