Tigard, OR (PRWEB) November 13, 2003 –- VeriLAN, Inc., an Oregon based wireless service provider, has received the first shipments of Wi-LAN, Inc. (TSX: WIN) LIBRA 5800 products to the USA. The LIBRA 5800 uses Wi-LANs patented W-OFDM (Wide-Band Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) technology to achieve high-capacity Non Line Of Sight (NLOS) network performance for Wireless MAN networks.
We have been very aggressive in getting the first shipments from Wi-LAN, " Said Steven Schroedl, President of VeriLAN Inc. We chose Wi-LANs LIBRA 5800 products because of their throughput, Non Line Of Sight (NLOS), security and Quality of Service (QOS) capability."
I believe VeriLAN is the first company in the US to install a commercial deployment of the Wi-LAN LIBRA multi-point wireless broadband equipment," said Raj Savara, Executive Vice President of VeriLAN, Inc. LIBRA wireless service represents a superior alternative for the last mile, with significantly higher data transmission rates and broader customer coverage.."
LIBRA has the capabilities required to deploy a telecom quality network in a metropolitan city, where NLOS, security, and QOS is a requirement. LIBRAs NLOS capability significantly increases fixed wireless access subscriber coverage. LIBRA also offers tiered service management through Committed Information Rate / Maximum Burst Rate (CIR/MBR). The lightweight single unit design eliminates the need for expensive accessories and coaxial cable, is faster and less expensive to install, and can be mounted indoors or outdoors without the need for any climate control. VeriLANs client requirement for high-speed capacity, enhanced features, and NLOS capabilities makes the LIBRA 5800 stand out as the best solution available.
VeriLANs deployment of LIBRA features multi-layered security, making this solution one of the most secure networks available in the market today. Physical layer security is built in through Wi-LANs patented W-OFDM technology and user-configurable center frequencies. Security at the MAC layer features a proprietary Radio Frequency (RF) protocol, individual unit identification codes and VLAN tagging. The network layer features IP address filtering, and network management security is provided through protected SNMP, FTP, ping or TELNET access and a password-protected user menu.
Our LIBRA W-OFDM products deliver robust outdoor NLOS performance that Wi-LAN has proven in various commercial networks in over 30 countries worldwide," said Gerard Kern, Regional Sales Manager of Wi-LAN Inc. LIBRA 5800 delivers powerful and spectrally efficient performance of up to 32 megabits per second (Mbps). We have been working with VeriLAN Inc. to bring the LIBRA 5800 product to Oregon, and their customers will now experience the many benefits of LIBRA broadband wireless service."
