Muni Wi-Fi and 4.9 GHz Public Safety Networks Technology
Muni WiFi and 4.9 GHz public safety mesh networks from BelAir Networks are created with modular internetworking platforms that are designed for outdoor deployment to provide coverage over large areas and into buildings. These broadband platforms are built around a high-performance network processing core, access and backhaul radios and an open, embedded software environment.
With the multi-radio node, the multiple backhaul radios in each platform are configured point-to-point with directional antennas or point-to-multipoint. Each platform can connect to multiple others and the combined connections form a wireless mesh.
Advanced radio and antenna techniques enable multiple radios to operate in a single package without degradation of performance. Integrated access radios allow for full Wi-Fi or 4.9 GHz Public Safety point-to-multipoint access at every point.
No additional switches, routers or cables are required to connect multiple BelAir platforms. The backhaul radio modules form a fully meshed wireless backbone that provides carrier grade network level redundancy to ensure service availability without operator intervention.
This multiple point-to-point or point-to-multipoint mesh is not a shared network. The backhaul radios that form the mesh operate in a different frequency band from the access radios. This allows both the wireless access and backhaul networks to operate independently and at full speed.
Muni WiFi and 4.9GHz Public Safety Performance
Capacity, scalability and reliability are also enhanced because the BelAir Networks wireless mesh architecture supports multiple, full duplex, exit points. In addition, wireless routing with load balancing and alternate paths are used to enhance system availability and provide a self-healing network. Triple-, Dual- and single-radio nodes also integrate seamlessly into the wireless mesh to effectively address capacity, user and application requirements throughout the network.
