Full-Duplex RaptorXR VHF and UHF Broadband Digital White Space Radio Systems Provide Reliable, Long-Range High-Speed Wide-Area Infrastructure Backbone Network Connectivity
The RaptorXR wireless network technology provides the network designer, operator and service provider six major performance advantages providing superior reach, reliability, and capability over conventional LTE/4G, microwave and satellite terrestrial solutions.
TV Band White Space Spectrum Advantage
Operation in the VHF and UHF bands, provides:
- Up to 10 times the range, coverage and penetration within indoors and in rural settings compared to WiFi or WiMax (See Table 1)
- Superior RF reach and coverage in non-line of sight and forested areas
- Spectrum Agility and OFDM waveform capability increases throughput and avoids on-air interference
- Scalable payload capacity to respond to coverage and capacity demands
- RaptorXR‘s patented Spectrum Management Engine
- Automatically scans, qualifies, and selects the best operating channels, assuring optimum performance
Network Advantage
RaptorXR‘s embedded network engine enables deployment of any network architecture, ranging from system critical single-link multi-point networks to multi-link and ad-hoc peer-to-peer mesh systems. Multi-channel bonding and user-defined redundancy schemes maintain network QoS and reliability.
Network Management Advantage
SafariView, RaptorXR’s secure, embedded Operations, Administration and Maintenance tool, provides secure local (via wired or wireless) or remote configuration and control of each RaptorXR node and local network interfaces. RaptorXR supports 3rd party enterprise network management applications including OpenNMS.
Cyber Advantage
The standard RaptorXR employs a number of techniques to protect against non-authorized access to each Raptor node. RaptorXR‘s integrated crypto engine supports a variety of algorithms to protect data and wireless traffic.
Application Versatility Advantage
Reliable communications is core to meeting tomorrow’s objective of secure integrative operations. RaptorXR’s network scalability and versatility allows system planners to conceive, plan, and meet specific range, coverage, security and performance requirements at minimum life-cycle cost in the shortest period.
Economic Advantage
RaptorXR is the low-cost solution of choice. Its broad operating spectrum capability and longer reach means less equipment and infrastructure, providing a measurable CapEx, and corresponding OpEx alternative to VSAT, microwave, and fiber in challenging environments.
