Asymmetric bandwidth management allows service providers to upsell uplink bandwidth
Dynamic Data Rate Selection (DDRS)1 maximizes subscriber coverage by allowing each subscriber to receive the maximum data rate possible
Up to 250 subscribers per BSU - 1500 per cell site - minimize CAPEX costs per subscriber
Advanced Security Protects Privacy
Multiple security mechanisms protect operator, residential customer and enterprise privacy.
Proxim’s Wireless Outdoor Routing Protocol (WORP) prevents snooping common to Wi-Fi systems
Advanced encryption protects over-the-air transmission
Intracell blocking forbids direct communication between Subscriber Units
BSU and SU mutual authentication eliminates unauthorized use of system by rogue SUs and man-in-the middle attacks
Password protection of all remote management methods ensures authorized access
Easy to Deploy and Manage
Ease of deployment and integration with the wired network are critical factors in a successful rollout. Tsunami MP.11a family excels with key capabilities that simplify deployment.
DDRS employs adaptive modulation delivering optimum performance under all link conditions, mitigating service calls
Both business and self-installable residential Subscriber Units are available for a variety of customer types

Features

Best-in-class performance with advanced Wireless Outdoor Router Protocol (WORP)
By eliminating in-the-air collisions and maximizing data content for each transmission, WORP significantly improves performance over standard 802.11-based products.
Highly secure communication
Unlike the 802.11 a/b/g standards, as a proprietary protocol, WORP eliminates the possibilities of unauthorized snooping.
Most flexible spectrum selection
5.25 – 5.35 GHz; 5.47 – 5.725 GHz; 5.725 – 5.85 GHz (including 5.8 GHz for
UK Licensed spectrum)
Non-line of sight capable
Line of sight and non-line of sight connectivity extends deployment flexibility in rural as well as high-density urban areas.
Mobile roaming
Fast hand-off at speeds up to 120 mph between overlapping BSUs enables mobile broadband services for transportation systems, emergency responders and even high-speed rail.
Guaranteed data rate while roaming
Allows bandwidth-intensive applications, such as high-definition video streaming, in mobile environments
High-sector count per cell (360?)
Supports 6 sectors per cell
High throughput per cell (360?)
With 6 sectors, up to 144 Mbps
250 subscriber support per BSU
Increasing the number of subscribers per cell allows the fastest ROI
Dynamic Data Rate Selection (DDRS)
Automatically optimizes throughput as link conditions change or as subscribers roam. Connectivity is automatically maintained when link quality degrades.
Flexible bandwidth provisioning
Bi-directional bandwidth rate limiting allows service providers to offer tiered services in 64 kbps
increments. Service can be provisioned instantly from the central office, without costly truck rolls.
Concurrent asymmetrical and symmetrical communications per BSU
Both residential and business customers can be served by the same BSU. Asymmetrical mode (DSL-like) is used for residential and symmetrical mode (T1-like) is used for business services.
Built-in NAT service (Network Address Translation)
Enables private IP network deployment and extends IP services such as storage and e-mail at the subscriber site
Built-in DHCP service
DHCP compliments the NAT service by provisioning private IP addresses in the subscriber’s network
Flexible and secure remote management
Supports remote management via Telnet, SNMP and web interfaces with password protections
Enhanced Subscriber Unit privacy
Intracell blocking allows the BSU to act as the central policy enforcer for SU to SU communications and prevents unauthorized neighbor snooping.
Antenna alignment tool
Provides running statistics with real-time signal strength to aid antenna installation
Comprehensive station statistics
Unit and group statistics are available for monitoring, planning and management of a wireless network.
