Point-to-multipoint wireless

The Tsunami MP.11a point-to-multipoint wireless solution is designed specifically to provide near-line-of-sight wireless access in urban environments. Reliable connectivity between multiple buildings can be implemented easily as well as outdoor extensions to a local area network (LAN).

It is claimed to be the first 802.11a hardware-based product designed to use the 5 GHz band, which is the legal band for the Australian marketplace. It also operates much faster through the air at 54 Mbps using the IEEE-802.11a standard.

The centralised router uses the Wireless Outdoor Router Protocol (WORP) to exchange network traffic with simple-to-deploy subscriber units. These units in turn communicate securely with wirelessly networked PCs, notebooks and PDAs.
