SPEEDS...
There are two
speed considerations with Community Systems:
1. The WLAN:
Subscriber <--->
Azure Local Hub and Subscriber <--> Subscriber
2. Space
Segment
Azure Local Hub
<--> Satellite <--> Distant Hub <--> Internet
| WLAN
|
Either 11 MBits/sec or 54
MBits/sec nominal speed. |
| Space
Segment |
Tailored to demand and
usage. Typically 1-2MBits/sec |
This combination
when combined with a heavy weight proxy server will
deliver very fast local intranet fast internet access
to users.
|
|
|
|
This system can
be scaled to serve any number of subscribers in a
variety of locations using sector, omni, point to
point antenna and hotspots.

What is a Community
Wireless LAN? |
|
|
|
A
community Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) is a computer
network, with subscribers linked by microwave
transmitter/receivers, operating at high bandwidth - typically
54 MBits/sec or 11MBits/sec nominal speed. |
|
|
| A community LAN
can be designed to serve almost any number of subscribers -
who can be in a town centre covered by the main network access
points (with sector or omni antennae) - or up to 20 kilometres
out of town, with individual point-to-point directional links. |
|
|
|
Subscribers connect to a central service hub via a wireless
network adaptor (on their property), which controls their
access rights, and provides them with the network services. |
|
|
|
Through the service hub they can connect to other local
subscribers, swap files, or store data in their own
directory. The network is so fast that subscribers can
download mp3 and DVD (mpeg) files from the internet to their
own filespace and then broadcast them to other subscribers! |
|
|
|
A
full ISP is usually set up on the hub with it's own domain
name, e-mail and web services for subscribers. This will also
host the local intranet, local advertising, instant messaging,
forums, e-mail and web space. |
|
|
|
In
each community an enterprise
satellite
up/down link is connected to
the hub which provides subscribers with access to Broadband
Internet. |
|
|
|
Our
satellite systems use Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) -
technology (the same as Sat TV) to download data at lightening
speeds. This is combined with proprietary software
acceleration (for http:) which minimises satellite latency,
and when teamed with a heavy weight proxy server, offers
ultra fast internet surfing. |
