The world is moving towards gigabit broadband with an immersive media consumption environment –
requiring 5G based broadband & content delivery.
Having access to infrastructure that can deliver such high speeds with integrated media delivery is
crucial!
AIR® system can deliver triple play services and speeds comparable to or even higher than newest
wireline technologies for a fraction of the cost!

2 – 42 GHz - FDD
AIR® uses patented wireless technology to deliver ultra-fast broadband data over
high frequencies by using higher order modulation techniques which require line
of sight.
A very small percentage of non-line of sight situations can be overcome with proper base station
location planning and complementary methods of broadband delivery. So no one is left in the dark.
6. Up to 41 Gbps transfer rate per base station enables problem-free reception of
multiple 4k HD TV channels and a broadband speed of up to 2 Gbps to the end
user.
Unique design enables support for triple play services (4kHD TV, VOIP,
broadband).
Air® offers approximately 90% lower cost compared to deployment of wireline network.
Low costs for set up, implementation and maintenance.
One base station can serve up to 50.000 users, limited by total throughput.
Customer indoor equipment is standard equipment offered by many vendors.

AIR® Last mile solution can be operational in much shorter time compared to
wireline deployments.
No costly and time consuming road and construction work is needed to lay the
cables in the ground, nor building permits.
AIR® – Perfect last mile solution
7. AIR® system can serve customers located up to 50 km from the base station.
Line of sight enables use of newest high level modulation techniques which are a
guarantee for exceptional service quality and user experience.
The system can be deployed in any frequency range from 2 to 42 GHz.
Unique combination of long reach and high capacity makes Air system a perfect
choice for all types of settlements.
AIR® system can be equally effectively deployed in urban, suburban and/or rural
areas.
Long Reach
