The VIP 110-24 uses patented VINE technology as a
networking solution that overcomes non-line-of-sight problems
caused by challenging terrain. VINE implementation lowers the
intial cost of deploying a network, using �Any
point-to-Multipoint� architecture. Networking features like
CIR and MBR provide a Service Provider more flexiblity to
control bandwidth to users and maximize his revenue. ToS
provides the abilty to offer delay sensitive services such as
VoIP and video.
Effortless Installation. The VIP 110-24 was
specifically designed to operate over long distances. All
the electronics are enclosed in a sealed outdoor unit that
is mounted in close proximity to the antenna. This outdoor
unit reduces installation time and eliminates the cable
loss, thereby increasing the range. For long-range links,
where the antennas need to be mounted on towers and
rooftops, this configuration reduces costly RF cables and
improves RF system performance.
Quality of service If your network demands
allocation of bandwidth, the VINE protocol supports
different levels of Quality of Service (QoS) assigned to
individual radios. The network manager can assign different
Committed Information Rates (CIR) and Maximum Burst Rates
(MBR) for each radio, separately for the inbound and
outbound directions. This allows an ISP to provide different
service plans charged at different rates. However, if the
radio is not active, the committed bandwidth is not wasted,
it is shared among all the other active radios.
Scalability as your network grows, any node can be
promoted to become a repeater; the only requirement for a
new node to be attached is to have RF connectivity to any
node already in the network - a deployment strategy called
anypoint-to-multipoint, since any node already in the
network can become the centre of a point-to-multipoint
branch. Hard to reach locations that are obstructed can
easily be reached by VINE implementation into that neighbour
hood.
Self-ConfIguration the VIP 110-24 is
self-configuring; at power up, it automatically determines
its place in the network, finds the addresses of the hosts
connected to the various LANs, and then starts routing
packets appropriately.
