World Firsts that shatter the assumed limits of wireless telecommunications…
The performance of wireless telecommunications is improving exponentially in step with advances in integrated circuit technology and more efficient algorithms. Beyond Moore’s law, this is likely to continue with new technologies such as 3-D transistors and quantum computing powering the enormous computational demands of high speed wireless signal processing into the foreseeable future.
Virtual Private Cells
All air interface technologies in use today assume that many users must contend for limited, scarce spectrum. Air@Wave delivers 100% reuse of spectrum between users (not just between cells) by mitigating mutual interference to zero. Hence the entire achievable per cell capacity is now available to each user and the aggregate cell capacity is limited only by the available processing power. Existing client devices can immediately benefit from faster speeds completely transparently.
Ultra-wide Broadband
Air@Wave infrastructure nodes support far wider channels than any current standard leading directly to higher speeds. Of course, processing such wide channels puts extreme demands on the cell hardware and is only deliverable with the most advanced technology available.
Software defined Virtual Networking
Virtual machines have come to dominate “the cloud” for their ease of maintenance, reliability and load balancing advantages…likewise we are at the dawn of a new era of Software defined Virtual Networking whereby virtualization of networked devices, interfaces and even networks of networks provides unprecedented capabilities. Air@Wave’s SDVN platform is designed to support an open ecosystem for virtual network devices enabling whole of industry inclusion and participation.
N-degree integrated backhaul
Wireline networks are designed to aggregate traffic onto a small number of high capacity backhaul or transit links…this tends to exacerbate the peak demand problem rather than lessen it.
Apart from the architectural rationale for this conventional approach, there are also technological reasons. Optical networks are well suited to carrying large volumes of traffic over long distances. Until recently only 2 or 4-degree all optical networks were economically feasible, requiring expensive electro-optical conversions to attain higher degrees of connectivity between multiple points.
Air@Wave network nodes can intelligently aggregate and de-aggregate traffic dynamically allowing an extremely efficient use of resources and a direct mitigation of congestion and optimum load balancing across the entire network resource – bypassing bottlenecks in real time.
