Broadband Mesh Network
Plextek has undertaken extensive system and product design in the development
of a highly innovative broadband Radio
access network. The system employs a "Mesh" network of
point-to-point microwave
links between "Nodes" at customer premises, forming a distributed
trunking network over which voice and data services are routed using
ATM technology .
Following the initial conceptual thought that a mesh structure could
potentially overcome some of the disadvantages of a traditional point
to multi point network the system development was undertaken in a number
of steps:-
-
Analysis to explore and quantify the potential Mesh
advantages
-
Develop the simulations to gradually include physical
radio constrains
-
Propagation measurements
-
Re simulation and modification of system design
-
Detailed radio analysis
-
Build demo system
-
Produce system specifications
-
The work led to the implementation of a successful trial Mesh network
operating at 28GHz and offering broadband wireless
access to residential properties.
