SPEEDLAN 8000 series products are high-performance 11 Mb
wireless broadband solutions tailored to fit the needs of
Internet Service Providers and broadband telecommunications
providers. Service Providers utilize these products as alternatives
to offering leased lines for subscriber access to Internet
service. SPEEDLAN 8000 products offer a complete wireless
connectivity solution with a choice of turnkey wireless bridges
or single device adapters.
SPEEDLAN 8000 products go where cable cannot go, expanding
the subscriber base without dependence upon the telephone
company infrastructure and can be installed immediately without
waiting for telephone company installation. As a provider's
network grows, connections may be expanded incrementally to
create entire wireless metropolitan area networks.
SPEEDLAN 8000 series products present an unparalleled level
of performance and features, including Network Address Translation
(NAT), Dynamic Host Control Protocol (DHCP) Server, and fully
configurable bandwidth.
Network Address Translation (NAT) helps increase network
security and allows the occupants of an entire building to
share a single global IP address for communication with the
Internet. Using NAT at each remote location, a service provider
can supply the building with just one global IP address regardless
of the number of users at that location.
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) Server provides
efficient use of IP addresses by allowing their assignment
to be made dynamically. By localizing the DHCP transactions
within each remote building, this administrative traffic is
kept off of the wireless segment and reduces the load on the
entire wireless network.
Bandwidth configuration options are used to limit the traffic
burst rate for each remote location to any increment of 1
Kb. Service providers can now gain a better level of control
over their wireless network, increase customer satisfaction,
and increase revenue generation for each broadband cell.
The 8000 series includes the standard, shelf-mounted SPEEDLAN
8300/8400. The 8300 acts as a central base station and the
8400 acts as Customer Premise Equipment (CPE). The 8300 and
8400 are mounted inside the building and connect to the outdoor
antenna using low loss RF antenna cable.
