4ipnet's New Wireless Internet Access Solutions Address WISPs Low Entry Cost
Low Entry Cost, Fast ROI, and Flexible Expansion for New Markets
Taipei, Taiwan -/Wi-Fi Technology News/- 4ipnet, Inc., a provider of wireless access control and management products, today introduced its solutions for WISP business operations. The 4ipnet WISP solutions address the demands for low entry cost, fast ROI, and flexible expansion for new markets.
In recent years, public perception of wireless Internet access continues to grow. This brings both opportunities and chanllenges to Wireless Internet Service Providers (WISPs). For WISPs, the demand for high-speed Internet access deals with how to find faster, easier and more cost-efficient solutions to reach the most possible customers.
The vast majority of WISPs have started to utilize wireless equipments which operate in the license-exempt spectrum, especially the 2.4 GHz bands, to deliver last-mile broadband access. License-exempt means that anyone can deploy an equipment without a license, as long as the equipment conforms to FCC or CE regulations. So it is obvious why wireless Internet deployments in the license-exempt bands have been booming in the past few years.
A major opportunity for WISPs is to distribute Internet traffic and value-added services to apartments or offices in an MDU (Multiple Dwelling Unit) or MTU (Multiple Tenant Unit) by deploying wireless LAN. However, due to technical and administrative issues, reaching these customers with broadband has been and remains a challenge to many WISPs. It's all about return on investment (ROI) and how quick!
4ipnet brings solutions enabling service providers to deliver high-speed wireless services with minimal investment and maximum scalability. A single wireless Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) can be shared amongst all subscribers in one building, which reduces equipment cost and maintenance efforts. For Point-to-Point Bandwidth Delivery, the CPE100 Wireless Outdoor CPE/AP/Repeater can function as a CPE to deliver the last-mile bandwidth from WISP base station to its subscribers. For Point-to-Multipoint Bandwidth Delivery, the CPE100 can also serve as an Access Point, e.g., to provide wireless Internet connectivity on an outdoor campus or inside a building. In terms of Centralized Manageability, the 4ipnet Gateways are designed to be a centralized management portal for both wired and wireless networks: the WHG301 Wireless Hotspot Gateway for residential rental apartments; the MSG100 Multi-service Wireless Office Gateway for small and branch offices.
While MDU/MTU tenants often have common interests, WISPs could further offer different bundled services for different kinds of customers, to fulfill their needs of high-speed Internet access and managed network services. The advantages of 4ipnet WISP solutions are: low cost of deployment, complete control over wireless networks, and easy expansion of network infrastructure as requirements change. Great for reaching high growth markets such as SMBs, SOHOs and residences!
