WBS 5800 OMNI BASE STATION
Wavion WBS-5800 base station is an advanced wireless broadband base station operating in the 5.8
GHz unlicensed band.
Based on an array of 6 antennas and 6 radios, the WBS-5800 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.
These unmatched characteristics enable service providers, municipalities, and enterprises to deliver
high quality and high capacity broadband wireless service with significantly fewer base stations at
a much lower cost.
Beamforming technology
The WBS-5800 base station is based on the
802.11a standard, which enables network
operators to use it with any off-the-shelf
802.11a based client and thus tailor their
solution to the specific needs of each
individual user.
Based on Wavion’s unique and powerful
spatially adaptive beamforming technology,
the WBS-5800 provides significant
performancegains 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.
• 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-the-shelf,
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, yield the lowest cost per line.
• 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 base station has been optimized for a wide
range of applications including:
• Business and residential connectivity
• Municipalities and Metro coverage
• Public safety (video over wireless)
• Backhaul solution for PtP and PtMP applications
Typical application
Wavion’s WBS-5800 is ideal for urban and suburban
installations.
When properly positioned, the WBS-5800 can provide
coverage in a radius of up to 15Km and deliver high quality
broadband wireless service for business and residential
customers.
