1.2. Customer Benefits
The WipLL system provides the following customer benefits and advantages over
competitors:
! No IF or RF cables required for indoor unit-to-outdoor unit (IDU-to-ODU)
connectivity, providing a more cost-effective and easier installation. Instead of
IF/RF cables, WipLL implements standard CAT-5 Ethernet cables.
! Scalability and modular base station architecture allows customers to add
equipment when needed, thereby allowing low initial cost entry and pay-as-you-
grow strategy. Unlike competitors, the WipLL base station is not a chassis-based
design, providing flexibility and saving space at the base station.
! WipLL's open architecture allows interoperability with multi-vendor products
such as residential gateways (RGW), access gateways, gatekeepers, and
softswitches, thereby, operating seamlessly in multi-vendor environments.
! WipLL’s proprietary PPMA air MAC protocol is highly efficient—80%
throughput—allowing multiple concurrent subscribers to utilize bandwidth
without network degradation (from collisions and high BER).
! Long-distance radio coverage.
! WipLL is both an IP router and a PPPoE bridge.
! Supports transparent bridging for easy implementation of IP addressing schemes
! WipLL’s IP routing provides efficiency and eliminates the need for additional
hardware.
! Enhanced QoS—based on IP addresses, protocols, and applications.
! End-to-end QoS—based on DiffServ/TOS or 802.1p.
! Fast-and-easy installation and configuration using WipLL Auto Connect.
! Embedded security features such as IP (packet) filters based on addresses,
protocols, and applications.
! Rich networking packages such as 802.1Q/p VLANs/VPNs.
