Wireless Network Technology & Solutions

Implement the latest wireless technologies

From WLAN solutions using 802.11 a/b/g/n, to WiMAX, free space optics (FSO), microwave, mobile satellite services, or proprietary solutions, PacStar engineers provide the right technology to meet your backhaul needs.

PacStar wireless networks solutions include site evaluations and surveys for the appropriate technology, plus design, test, integration, and installation, whether in a building or exposed to the environment. Our experience ensures network implementations that will work as designed and handle future growth. We offer best-of-breed solutions from Cisco, Aruba, Fortress, Enterays, Proxim, Waverider, Raytheon, LGS, and many others.

Wi-Fi

Current technology trends in business and industrial Wi-Fi include:

• Increasing the number of access points to provide redundancy, support fast roaming, and increase network capacity.
• Designing for wireless voice applications (VoWLAN or WVOIP).
• Using 'thin' access points, with network intelligence housed in a centralized network appliance.
• Implementing outdoor applications with true mesh topologies.
• Creating proactive, self-managed networks that function as a security gateway, firewall, DHCP server, and intrusion detection system.

WiMAX

PacStar supports WiMAX technologies to provide wireless data over long distances, from point-to-point links to full mobile cellular access.

Backhaul

The choice of backhaul technology must take into account capacity, cost, reach, and the need for resources such as frequency spectrum, optical fibre or rights of way. PacStar supports backhaul technologies such as:

• Point-to-point microwave transmission (terrestrial or, in some cases, by satellite)
• Point-to-multipoint microwave access technologies, such as LMDS, WiFi, or WiMAX.
• Dark fibre
• DSL variants such as ADSL and SHDSL
• PDH and SDH/SONET interfaces, such as (fractional) E1/T1, E3, T3, or STM-1/OC-3
