Wireless Broadband: As the global economy continues to expand, so does the demand for information. This information needs to be abundant, diversified, instant, scattered and mobile, all at the same time. These mounting demands have proven difficult for existing network capacity, coverage and range. And, this reduces an organization s ability to evolve with changing business and workforce needs. Wireless mesh networks are best suited to meet these challenges because they are: Resilient Scalable Mobile Cost-effective With superior scalability, high transmission speed, convenient deployment and minimal maintenance, Alcon Networks' state-of-the-art technology makes wireless broadband a reality. Alcon wireless mesh routers facilitate a seamless network with high-speed, high-quality data, voice and video communication, even when users are on the move. Alcon wireless broadband is used in a variety of applications including: Oil and gas exploration, production and distribution Logistics (rail, surface, ports and warehousing) Construction Campus settings Public safety Business parks Large-scale manufacturing Mining and quarrying
Telecom Applications: Alcon wireless mesh technologies give telecom operators a more cost-effective and application-competitive network one which integrates other networks and helps to easily expand the business. With self-management and self-healing capability, Alcon wireless mesh reduces the cost of deployment, management, maintenance and resource requirements. Even with strict wireless network requirements, Alcon s wireless mesh technology makes deployment easier than ever. The Alcon design enables companies to expand their network coverage to a large area in a very short time. This eliminates complicated network layout as well as lengthy testing periods. As telecom evolves, wireless mesh has the ability to change with it. Operators can make use of the rich bandwidth supplied by wireless mesh to implement high performance, low-cost voice services. In the future, Alcon will introduce new services such as: wireless live TV, wireless video ordering, wireless network games and wireless video phone calls.
Broadband Applications With proprietary, multi-level QoS and telecom-grade roaming technology, Alcon wireless mesh delivers superior stability and service quality for mobile VoIP. Even on a very large scale, Alcon provides seamless roaming, providing access to data, video and voice. Alcon wireless mesh technology provides higher bandwidth for companies with ever-increasing service demands. Operators can immediately gain access to bandwidth much higher than 10Mbps, and in turn, convert rich broadband resources into a real customer benefit. At the same time, multi-level QoS and telecom-grade roaming mechanisms, combined with advanced routing technology, offer telecom operators reliable, high-speed transmissions at a lower cost than competing network solutions. Alcon broadband applications also offer e-map and localization services. With Alcon, users do not need to purchase expensive localization equipment, pay extra amounts for software systems, bear expensive annual fees, or worry about the influence of weather on service performance.

Whether you're creating a network from scratch, or need to augment or replace your existing wire line links, broadband wireless access is the most reliable and cost-effective, high-speed data networking alternative you should know more about. There is an obvious and increasing need for bandwidth. Multimedia content, such as Video, Music, Clips or Movies have been feeding this intrinsic infatuation for more capacity This phenomenon has not only materialized in the U.S.A., but everywhere around the globe. e-government refers to the use by government agencies of information technologies (such as
Wide Area Networks, the Internet, and mobile computing) that have the ability to transform relations with citizens, businesses, and other arms of government. These technologies can serve a variety of different ends: better delivery of government services to citizens, improved interactions with business and industry, citizen empowerment through access to information, or more efficient government management. Wireless systems today need to be robust, reliable and secure. Deployment of a trully scalable and secure wireless broadband systems can eliminate the need and cost of trenching fiber optic cable and long runs of wires required to network large facilities. There is still a substantial minority of the worldwide population which does not have access to the most elementary means of communications. These disparities have propelled Wireless as the only alternative to bridge this gap and deliver rudimentary telephony or high-speed internet access to underserved geographic areas. Put simply, wireless is the lowest cost and most easily implemented solution today for the last mile. Alcon Wireless Broadband Wireless Access solutions support multiple wireless network topologies and network management functions, including bandwidth management, traffic shaping, QoS and security for reliable delivery of data, voice and video services. At Alcon Wireless, we have thoughtfully designed our product line, with the belief that Carriers, Telcos and Internet Service Providers should not be put in a position where their infrastructure investment become obsolete every 2 years. Opposed to this singular concept, we believe that infrastructure should be highly scalable and versatile, offering seamless migration from one technology to another, from one standard to another or from one frequency to another without having to reconsider or rethink the whole network infrastructure. Benefits Better Than Wired Networks Broadband wireless connectivity gives you wire line performance without wire line costs and wire line restrictions. Operating in the 2.4 GHz or 5.x GHz license-free spectrum (means no recurring license fees) or in 900MHz,2.3-2.4GHz, 2.5 GHz, 3.4 to 3.7GHz licensed band. And because you own your infrastructure, there are no monthly line costs and no dependency on telephone companies. Broadband wireless means freedom for your ISP business. Simplicity and Flexibility Deploy faster, more easily and less expensively than wired line links and modify quickly to meet your changing connectivity needs. A broadband wireless network gives you the flexibility to painlessly add or eliminate locations or secure additional bandwidth. While our web-based GUI solutions give you the simplicity to manage your network from wherever you are. Speed and Reach Throughput several times faster than wired line alternatives and the ability to deploy virtually
anywhere- urban, suburban, and rural locations. Reliability and Security Wireless networks are reliable with high availability and consistent throughput over a long distance. Barriers to physical tapping and IEEE802.11i standard with 128 bit AES based encryption give considerable inherent security in wireless networks. Economy and Pricing Connecting LANs together using wireless links is significantly less expensive than upgrading existing wires or laying new ones. Wireless infrastructure needs less maintenance than wire line infrastructure, cutting down your overheads. Alcon Wireless helps service providers around the world deploy wireless networks, quickly, efficiently and affordably. Our solutions provide tremendous cost savings, easy management, and enable strong customer retention and loyalty.
