Airlan Clarity Series: 5 GHZ

Product Description

As Solectek’s third-generation OFDM multipoint product line in the 5GHz frequency band, the AIRLAN-Clarity series represents a new class of costeffective and yet feature rich product solution for rural and emerging markets for competitive Internet Service Providers.

At the heart of the system is the newly designed MAC protocol optimized for efficiency and scalability in dense subscriber deployments in multipoint systems. The PPM Protocol is based on deterministic polling algorithm that will enhance the system capacity and subscriber unit count per base station. This new protocol, based on Solectek’s successful 802.11d WiMAX product lines, is designed to provide utmost performance for carriers and enterprises. AIRLAN has its MAC protocol tuned for optimal downlink performance in order to fit the profile of traffic patterns of ISP operations.

The improved RF link performance allows more flexible deployments as well. The industry-leading 400mW high-output power radio extends the coverage area for a base station, while the advanced MIMO-based OFDM technology enhances near line-of-sight connections. Solectek’s HyperARQ protocol is designed to preserve the data throughput even at long link distances.

For data security, the AIRLAN-Clarity system incorporates 128-bit AES hardware- based encryption at full line speed, without loss of data throughput. The AES algorithm was selected to be the standard encryption method by the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). In addition, the AIRLAN Series provides up to two levels of AAA protection through the configurable use of 802.1x/RADIUS and RF MAC authentication.
