Wifless™ is a completely Open Carrier Class Integrated Platform ranging from Wireless to Wireline technologies. The Essentia® Wifless™ ESS 24562 is a Carrier Class high-end-performance Dual Radio Outdoor Wireless AP / Bridge / Router / Mesh Node operating on both ISM Unlicensed and Licensed Bands in the 2.2-2.5 and 4.8-6.1 GHz. Based on OpenWifless™ ESS ProNODE operating system, the device integrates multiple Advanced IP Dynamic Routers, a Policy Router, an Advanced Firewall with Broadcast & Multicast filtering and a QoS & CoS Manager with a full-featured L2-L3-L4 Bandwidth Manager. The Wifless™ ESS 24562 can operate in every possible configuration, from a simple stand-alone PTP L2 bridged link, up to a complex Multiple Virtual Access Point node with BGP-4 and OSPF dynamic routing and Radius AAA, or acting as a simple node in a WDS Mesh Network as well as in more complex OLSR Mesh Networks. PTP links aggregation capability and PMP sector redundancy complete the outstanding set of features provided by the system software. The Wifless™ ESS 24562 is a Full-Standard IEEE 802.11abgh versatile & interoperable device with extensions for licensed bands. Tailor-made for actual WISP & WVoIP applications, it supports Fixed WISP Triple-Play applications as well as the emergent Mobile Wi-Fi VoIP and VoD services for reliable low-cost WAN radio networks. The device uses a modular and upgradeable architecture based on Intel® XScale™ Network Processors and Mini-PCI RF modules. Thanks to this design, system software and radio hardware can be easily upgraded to newer versions and solutions. At a reasonably low cost, users can switch to future WiMAX TDD in the 2.x and 5.x GHz ISM band. Sealed in an IP 68 & IK10 rugged case, the Essentia® Wifless™ ESS 24562 boasts an outstanding extended temperature range and comes with an extended-voltage redundable PoE powering system. Performances include high MTBF, short MTTR and low power consumption. Free of safety hazards and SAR-related risks, this device integrates all modern security features. The Essentia® Wifless™ ESS 24562 contains two Dual Band radios based on the new Atheros® radio chip-set supporting the Atheros® SuperG/AG™ Static & Dynamic Turbo 108 Mbps mode and the eXtended Range™ (XR) mode, thus making a fantastic component for flexible and performant radio networks.

Wireless & Wireline Flexible Solutions

The Essentia® Wifless™ ESS 24562 is a high-performance Dual Radio & Dual Band Wireless Bridge / Router / AP / Mesh Node. Inside the device are two independent radio-sets that allow the deployment of high-performance point-to-point links, as well as point-to-multipoint coverage. The Wifless™ ESS 24562 advanced technology can deliver the best performance even in environments affected by severe spectral pollution. The Wifless™ ESS 24562 complies with the IEEE 802.11 b/g and the IEEE 802.11 a/h Standard, operating in Time Division Duplex (TDD) mode, while has proprietary modes for the supported Licensed Bands. Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) modulation and Forward Error Correction (FEC) coding are also used. The implemented state-of-the-art 64 FFTs OFDM technology provides strong insensitivity to multi-path fading, thus making the Wifless™ ESS 24562 suitable for use in near-line-of-sight environments or non-line-of-sight (NLOS) environments. The device can also operate in the Atheros® SuperG/AG™ Static & Dynamic Turbo mode, eXtended Range™ (XR) mode, as well as in the Wifless™ Proprietary modes. As a result, an extremely high capacity can be obtained at the greatest RF bandwidth, and the greatest receiver sensitivity can be obtained at the lowest bandwidth. This gives Service Providers the opportunity to reach previously inaccessible areas, thus broadening their subscriber population. The system features adaptive modulation for automatic selection of modulation schemes, including BPSK, QPSK, 16-QAM and 64-QAM, to maximize data rate and improve spectral efficiency, and also supports the legacy Baker DSSS & Walls CCK Standards of the early IEEE 802.11b. When used as a mesh node, the Wifless™ ESS 24562 can provide internetworking capabilities at Layer 1.5 with the WDS protocol, at Layer 2 with Ethernet-Switched STP, and at Layer 3 with OSPF, BGP-4, IS-IS and OSLR protocols. This feature enables to internetwork multiple wireless mesh networks from different vendors at any Layer level. The OSPF and the BGP-4 routing protocols make the system suitable for large-scale TCP-IP networks of Telco carriers, ISP and large enterprises. Wherever allowed by the Radio Regulations, the Wifless™ ESS 24562 can perform 40/44 MHz-wide RF channels, in the mode called SuperG/AG™ Turbo, capable of delivering a link throughput that is nearly twice as high as that of a 20 MHz channel. The eXtended Range™

operating mode and the Wifless™ Proprietary mode enable RF channels with small bandwidths down to 4 MHz. These features allow to double or even triple or quadruple link spans and coverage areas. The Wifless™ ESS 24562 can support sensitive applications through advanced IEEE 802.11i & IEEE 802.1x authentications and strong data encryption based on WPA2, TKIP or AES algorithms, with key lengths up to 256 bits. In compliance with the IEEE 802.1q-2005 standard the system delivers precise QoS and CoS as requested, and fully supports both simple VLAN and complex QinQ VLAN, ensuring high-quality services and maximum security. The device supports a large variety of predefined operating modes, allowed by the Local Country Radio Regulatory. However, the operable frequencies, as well as other RF parameters, can be refined according to the applicable radio regulations and specific deployment considerations. The Wifless™ ESS 24562 system can be managed via standard tools, such as HTTP browsers, SSH and Telnet Command Line Interface, as well as through MIB-based SNMP browsers for remote control and administration.
