Outdoor Wi-Fi is most challenging when interference levels are high. Proper radio
planning is important for mitigating interference but this alone is not enough.
Wavion base stations provide a comprehensive solution for mitigating interferences
including Beamforming’s inherent interference suppression, ACS, DIH and sector base
station with mechanical down tilting. With this newsletter edition, Wavion is happy
to announce additional improvement for mitigating interference – omni base stations
with down-tilted antennas.

Africa Com 2010 was a successful Pan-Africa industry event. Participating in this
event provided a fruitful ground for Wavion team to meet partners and customers from
all over the continent, share views, new developments, and discuss projects. The
significant number of visitors and the great interest in our products and solutions
was overwhelming. Special interest was noted in our end-to-end Wi-Fi coverage in
university campuses and in our 3G offloading solution.

Cheek our new video clip on Beamforming technology. Wavion’s true adaptive Beamforming
technology focuses the energy to and from wireless clients, on a per-packet basis.
This process significantly increases the link gain and improves interference resiliency.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JxizQpZYZpo |

The increase in smart phone usage and the subsequent explosion of data traffic on
cellular networks has caused an immediate need for carriers to offload the data
traffic from the network, so that both voice and data services perform optimally.
Due to the built-in Wi-Fi capabilities of the smart phones and other devices on
the market, Wi-Fi is emerging as a natural technology solution for operators struggling
to provide the surge in mobile internet data. Operators are rapidly increasing the
use of Wi-Fi as a key data-offloading strategy. Wavion’s solution allows operators
to use the same customer and service management systems for both 3G and Wi-Fi networks.

Wavion was selected by the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN), the largest government
university in Nigeria to take part in the Digitized University project. This project
was funded by Google and the Nigerian government to provide wireless Internet and
Intranet access to tens of thousands of students and staff. The Intranet access
is designed to enable and facilitate E-learning, a key goal of the University administrators.
Out of the eight companies who have bided for this project, the proposal by BCX
and Wavion won thanks to Wavion’s unique radio performance and complete end-to-end
offering as well as BCX’s vast experience in integration and support.

Province-wide Wi-Fi network in San Luis, Argentina
|
||
|
The San Luis province in Argentina has initiated a pioneering project to provide
province-wide Wi-Fi network with free broadband connectivity, aimed at eliminating
the digital divide between the rural and urban areas. This initiative was part of
a larger effort, aiming to increase computer penetration and internet access to
the residents, businesses, schools and hotels. Wavion’s Wi-Fi base stations were
selected to provide the internet connectivity in this project and provide ubiquitous
coverage in cities and the towns of this province.

Affordable Wi-Fi Coverage in a Challenging Environment
|
||
|
Misty Hills Country Hotel, Johannesburg, was looking for a Wi-Fi solution to provide
internet access in all rooms and public facilities in the complex, with minimal
cabling and disruption to open and closed areas. The requirements presented an exceptionally
difficult set of challenges such as severe Non-Line-of-Sight (NLOS), deep indoor
penetration and extended range in a jungle environment with tall trees. With the
unique advantages of the Wavion’s Beamforming technology, all rooms and common public
areas were covered.
