Universal Wireless Transport™ platform powers secure high-speed wide
area networks on any frequency between 100 MHz and 6 GHz
TORONTO, May 20, 2013 /CNW/ - Redline Communications (www.rdlcom.com Group Inc. TSX: RDL), a leading provider of broadband wireless solutions for industrial and
telecom applications, today unveiled its Universal Wireless Transport™
platform (UWT™), the industry's first and only wireless broadband
network solution to operate on any frequency between 100 MHz and 6 GHz
- in licensed, reserved and unlicensed bands. This frequency range
encompasses virtually all wireless broadband applications - effectively
delivering broadband in any available spectrum. Redline technology
already produces secure wireless networks that have the fastest speeds
over the longest distances with the lowest latency, and construction
that delivers rugged reliability in harsh remote environments. With the
integration of UWT, Redline now brings its customers unparalleled
flexibility and the fastest time to deployment for private wide area
networks.
"Networks are literally the backbone of industry and commerce, used to
increase the velocity of operations, guarantee workplace safety and
save lives," said Bojan Subasic, vice president of R&D for Redline
Communications. "Redline believes that network architects should never
sacrifice perfect for practical when designing mission critical
networks, and our new wireless network platform means that all networks
can be wireless, even with the most challenging circumstances. Simply
put, the performance, reliability and flexibility of the Universal
Wireless Transport platform means this new equipment will be the last
network infrastructure product Redline customers will ever need to
buy."
For multinational companies, such as oil and gas producers where the use
of different frequencies may also be required within a single oil
field, Redline can now support all their international locations and
frequency needs using just one product. Not only does the platform
operate on key bands including 450 MHz, 600 MHz, 900 MHz, 2.5 GHz, 3.5
GHz, 4.4 GHz and 4.9 GHz and 5.8 GHz, it can also operate on any
frequency between, allowing customers to use any and all available
spectrum. The UWT gives Redline customers a single secure platform from
which to power the broadest range of IP applications on a single
network - from "heavy" applications requiring data speeds of 100 Mbps
or greater, to lighter applications such as small packet VoIP and
machine-to-machine (M2M) communications, without making any design
sacrifices.
Redline's common platform approach simplifies network design and reduces
the time and cost of training, service and maintenance. Central to the
new UWT platform are software adaptable radios that can be managed,
configured and upgraded over the air. UWT can cover the widest range of
distances with true broadband speeds and unmatched security. The
platform's software adaptable radios can be remotely configured for
different frequency ranges, as well as point-to-point or
point-to-multipoint configurations, capacity and now frequency.
"Software-defined networking (SDN) is not only lending much-needed
flexibility to wireless networks in a variety of ways - it's also
changing the economics of wireless network infrastructure," said Ed
Gubbins, senior analyst for mobile access infrastructure at Current
Analysis. "Redline's embrace of the technology allows a broad range of
industries tap into the value of SDN that is also being unlocked by
some of the world's leading mobile operators."
"Available spectrum is scarce, and specific frequencies are not
consistently available across the globe," said Subasic. "While using a
single frequency everywhere around the world would be easier for global
enterprises, network planners must also account for different
topographies, scarce availability of unlicensed spectrum, and local
regulations governing the use of licensed and unlicensed spectrum.
Inevitably the best network architecture will use a combination of
frequencies, but until now no one vendor could offer a single platform
delivering the best performance, and consistent management across a
wide range of spectrum."
UWT is a ground-up reengineering of Redline's award-winning backhaul
networking technologies designed with fewer components to reduce power
consumption, making it suitable for remote locations where it can be
powered using alternative energy sources such as solar. With
unparalleled flexibility, scalability and reliability, UWT is fully
backward compatible with all of Redline's network systems deployed
around the globe by telecom service providers, oil and gas producers,
public safety agencies, governments and other private networks.
UWT is a finalist in CTIA's 2013 E-Tech Awards competition. Attendees
of CTIA 2013 can learn more about UWT and Redline's portfolio of
wireless broadband products in booth #4946.
