To close the gap, the AIR System is an ideal solution as it supports ultrahigh speed broadband and all additional services that are available on wired networks at a fraction of the cost.
While the broadband penetration in the major cities is at a high rate, the suburban and urban population of Canada is vastly underserved. And not only residential households but schools, libraries and other public institutions are lacking real connectivity and as such cannot be utilized to their full potential.
Due to CAPEX investment and time to market being the key issues when deploying wired networks the AIR System is the best solution available on the market to deploy state of the art networks in a fast and cost effective way while still maintaining high level quality of service.
AIR® is the first wireless system that provides the same capabilities and speeds as new coaxial cable networks or enables delivery of triple play services with aggregation of multiple LTE carriers.
The AIR® base station and transceiver are specific solutions, but the CPE in customer homes is standard and can be managed like business-as-usual.
The base station is an essential part of the AIR® Last Mile wireless point-to-multipoint system. It uses microwave-based transmission and supports frequency bands between 2 and 42Ghz.
The throughput capacities are up to 41 Gbps per BS (DOCSIS) and 18 Gbps per BS (LTE). The base station is connected to the operator’s core network and broadcasts the signal to homes using AIR®.
The transceiver is the counter part of the base station and is located at the customer premises. It is essentially a bi-directional parabolic microwave antenna (satellite dish) and an outdoor unit.
One unit is required per home, or a common unit can also service an apartment block with multiple homes. This unit down converts the AIR® signal and feeds it into worldwide used Docsis/LTE standard equipment inside the homes.

Having access to infrastructure that can deliver such high speeds with integrated media delivery is crucial!
AIR® system can deliver triple play services and speeds comparable to or
even higher than newest wireline technologies for a fraction of the cost!
The AIR® system comes with a software management system for better controlling and operation the AIR devices. It allows the operator to do
remote supervision and configuration, administration and control of all
network elements.
