The Problem: Delivering Today’s Digital World to Yesterday’s Apartments Over 20 million households in the US live in “MDU” (Multi-Dwelling Unit) buildings. As of 2021, property owners offered Internet to only 16 percent of these units. Buildings constructed before the year 2000 likely use outdated in-building wiring, relying on twisted pair and running g.x technology…
The unlicensed V-band is gaining significant attention for its potential to blast through walls. Initially targeted for residential broadband, interest has shifted towards in-building wireless backbones. This shift is driven by the V-band’s strengths: a vast amount of available spectrum (14 GHz in the U.S.) and the ability to achieve high spectral reuse with beamforming…
In this blog, we will explore the RF bands commonly used today to identify the best frequency bands for backhaul and understand which services work best at which frequencies. We will examine access technologies that connect users to Wi-Fi APs (or cellular networks) and backbone technologies that link these APs back to the wiring closet…
The question often comes up as to why Airvine went down the path of developing an entirely new in-building networking solution when the legacy approach of using structured wiring is so well entrenched. Is a new solution really necessary? To answer that question, we must look at the dynamic nature of the modern enterprise. Be it…
We hear a lot about beamforming in the trade press, on podcasts and elsewhere, but what is it and why do you care? Beamforming involves the precise phase shifting of the elements of an antenna array to generate a very narrow beam focused in a very specific direction. The narrow beam greatly increases the gain…
