WBS 2400 SETORIAL BASE STATION
Wavion WBS-2400 Sector base station is a new addition to Wavion’s advanced broadband base
station portfolio, which operates in the 2.4 GHz unlicensed band.
Based on an array of 3 antennas covering a 120° sector and 3 radios, the WBS-2400 Sector leverages
Wavion’s beamforming technology to provide extended range and superior connectivity in both
Line-of-Sight (LOS) and Non-Line-of-Sight (NLOS) conditions.
Furthermore, Wavion’s advanced SDMA technology doubles the base station’s downlink capacity.
These unmatched characteristics enable service providers, municipalities, and enterprises to deliver
high quality, Wi-Fi service with significantly fewer base stations at a much lower cost.
Beamforming technology
The WBS-2400 Sector base station is the
ideal solution for Wi-Fi deployments that
require sector coverage.
Based on Wavion’s unique and powerful
spatially adaptive beamforming
technology, and operating with any
off-the-shelf 802.11b/g standard based
clients, the WBS-2400 Sector provides
significant performance gains in terms of
range, throughput, indoor penetration
and interference mitigation.
This enables service providers to offer
highly cost effective Wi-Fi service without
compromising quality.
Benefits
• Extended range
Triple the range in comparison to conventional access
points.
• Uniform coverage
Wavion beamforming technology maintains high quality
signals in NLOS conditions, the uniform coverage of the
entire area creates a larger addressable market per base
station.
• Better indoors penetration
The superior link gain enables better penetrations into
buildings
• Increased throughput
The superior link gain provides higher throughput and
enables larger network capacity. Furthermore, the SDMA
technology doubles the downlink capacity per base
station.
• Superior interference mitigation
The inherent spatial filtering of the beamforming
technology and the unique dynamic interference
handling capabilities ensure good operation even in noisy
environments.
• Cost effective
The increased addressable market per base station,
coupled with the cheaper CPEs, resulting from the better
indoor penetration provide the lowest cost per line
solution.
• Carrier grade
Robust and weatherproof IP-67 platform, designed to
withstand extreme weather conditions.
Technology:
Wavion beamforming technology focuses the energy to and
from the client, on a per-packet basis. This focusing process
increases significantly the link gain and the interference
resiliency of the base station.
Moreover, while conventional Wi-Fi technology suffers
from the destructive effect of multipath propagation,
Wavion’s digital beamforming technology exploits
multipath to its advantage by coherently combining the
signals along the different propagation paths to the client.
Applications
The WBS-2400 Sector base station has been optimized to for
a wide range of applications including:
• Business connectivity
• Municipalities
• Public safety (video over wireless)
• VoIP / Rural connectivity
• Internet to schools and communities
• Residential access
• Building coverage
• Hospitality
Typical application:
Wavion’s WBS-2400 Sector base station is ideal for suburban
and urban installations.
When properly installed, the WBS-2400 Sector can provide
wide sector coverage for indoors CPEs and mobile users.
It can also be used for indoors coverage of large buildings
such as hotels.
The sector range can be further extended by using outdoor
CPEs.
In case of larger capacity requirements per site, an additional
WBS-2400 sector unit can be co-located in the same site
pointing to a different or same direction.
