ZHONE SKYZHONE
Overview
The SkyZhone metro Wi-Fi system gives network operators the means to utilize Wi-Fi to deliver a truly capable and reliable multi-service network. SkyZhone is line powered from the CO or remote terminal via a standards-based DSL line. The same copper pairs that provide power also provide high-speed backhaul. SkyZhone uses the IEEE 802.3ah Ethernet in the First Mile (EFM) standard to provide up to 22 M/bps backhaul.
SkyZhone Highlights
- Latest generation 2.4Ghz and 4.9Ghz 802.11 technology, including MIMO for increased coverage range and data rates
- SkyZhone provides power and backhaul for outdoor video cameras
- Industry’s first metro Wi-Fi solution to utilize 802.11n, all-MIMO antenna architecture, with integrated DSL backhaul, and line powering of the radio
- Designed to address the challenges most directly affecting system operational costs and performance.
- Provides capacity and reliability to deliver true, municipal and commercial, multi-service Wi-Fi networks.
Features
- Support for true multi-service environments - SkyZhone provides a uniquely scalable solution to address the combined requirements of municipal, public-safety, and consumer needs.
- Supports multimedia and bandwidth intensive applications - With up-to 22 Mbps of capacity per radio and low system latency -- video, voice, and gaming applications perform to user expectations.
- Superior network coverage - SkyZhone’s all-MIMO antenna design produces exceptional user device connectivity at distances up to 100% greater than solutions using “off-the-shelf” AP technology.
- Removes the limitations of multi-hop mesh - SkyZhone’s integrated DSL backhaul provides network planners the tools necessary to distribute capacity logically through the network, eliminating the “halving effect” and bandwidth contention issues common with multi-hop mesh systems.
- Simplified network engineering - Place access radios where the users are. SkyZhone’s integrated line powering allows network planners open consideration of mounting assets. If you can get a phone line to a location, you can power and provide service with SkyZhone.
- Telco-grade reliability - Public safety applications demand reliability. SkyZhone has been engineered to provide telco-grade uptime and line powering facilitates ongoing operation even during extended AC power outages.
- Integrated network operations - SkyZhone is fully integrated with Zhone’s industry leading multi-service access platform and network management system, ZMS. Network operators can, for the first time, integrate Wi-Fi services into a larger, converged access network.
- Improved service viability - By expanding revenue opportunities to include a wide range of municipal, public-safety, and commercial applications – SkyZhone remedies many of the most poigna
