Airvine FAQs
Backhaul is the intermediary link between the access layer and the core network, essential for managing data traffic and maintaining fast, reliable connectivity. For indoor networks, this has traditionally been addressed with Ethernet.
Wired backhaul uses physical cables like Ethernet, while wireless backhaul uses microwave, millimeter-wave, or satellite communications, offering greater flexibility and quicker deployment. Up until now all wireless backhaul has been exclusively outdoor. Airvine solutions are the first wireless, indoor backhaul systems.
No, the technology used in Airvine products is not based on traditional mesh networking. Mesh as many understand loses half the link capacity with every hop, a severe limitation. The WaveTunnel™ and WaveCore™ use point-to-point and point-to-point-to-point connections with advanced beamsteering and NLOS capabilities and no loss of capacity no matter how many hops or nodes are used.
Yes. The interfaces into the WaveTunnel and WaveCore systems are standard Ethernet and/or SFP (optical).
Airvine products provide robust security features, including physical and virtual segmentation, VLAN support, and secure, encrypted connections.
Airvine products can be installed in about 30 minutes using a screwdriver and a smartphone.
While both provide high-speed wireless backhaul, WaveCore is a simple point-to-point wireless bridge designed to penetrate concrete floors and walls. The WaveTunnel is designed to penetrate most indoor walls such as drywall, wood, and glass as well as beamsteer around walls, and is deployed as a daisy chain or ring.
Airvine products reduce the need for extensive cabling, lower installation costs, and minimize disruptions, providing a cost-effective alternative to traditional wired solutions.
