WBS 5800 SETORIAL BASE STATION
Wavion WBS-5800 Sector base station is a new addition to Wavion’s advanced broadband base
station portfolio, which operates in the 5.8 GHz unlicensed band.
Based on an array of 3 antennas covering a 120° sector and 3 radios, the WBS-5800 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, broadband wireless service with significantly fewer base stations at a much lower cost.
Beamforming technology
The WBS-5800 Sector base station is based on
the 802.11a standard, which enables network
operators to use any off-the-shelf 802.11a
standard based client and thus tailor their
solution according to the specific needs of
each individual end user.
Based on Wavion’s unique and powerful
spatially adaptive beamforming technology,
the WBS-5800 provides significant
performance gains in terms of range,
throughput and interference mitigation.
This enables service providers to offer highly
cost effective broadband wireless service
without compromising quality.
Benefits
• Uniform coverage
Wavion beamforming technology provides high quality
NLOS coverage, thus enlarging the addressable market
per base station.
• 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.
• Standards based platform
Enables service providers to select standard off-theshelf,
cost-effective network components including
CPEs, billing and provisioning systems.
• Cost effective
The increased addressable market per base station, coupled
with the low cost CPEs enabled by Wavion’s standard
based solution, 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 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 and from the client.
Applications
The WBS-5800 Sector base station has been optimized for a
wide range of applications including:
• Business and residential connectivity
• Municipalities – Metro coverage
• Public safety (video over wireless)
• Backhaul solution for PtP and PtMP applications
Typical application:
Wavion’s broadband wireless access solution is ideal for
urban and suburban installations.
When properly installed, the WBS-5800 Sector can provide
coverage in a radius of up to 15Km with multiple CPEs in LOS
or NLOS conditions.
Using the WBS-5800 sector with outdoor CPEs enables to
create high quality broadband wireless service for business
and residential customers.
Alternatively, 3 WBS-5800 Sector Base Station can be colocated
to provide 360° coverage with triple capacity.
The same network can be used for supporting multiple video
surveillance cameras.
In some cases you can provide an end to end wireless solution
with access at 2.4GHz, based on the WBS-2400, and backhaul
bases on WBS-5800 Sector at 5.8GHz.
