The Opportunity
Wi-BUS™ radically changes the economics of delivering broadband services and addresses the need for more network capacity. It significantly lowers infrastructure deployment and maintenance costs, while increasing speed, performance, and user density. A low cost broadband network that the unserved worldwide population can afford mandates a scalable wireless network, the reduction of network infrastructure costs (towers and base stations), and new levels of operational efficiency to maximize the number of users that can be served on a single headend (base station).
Wi-BUS™ addresses all three technical challenges with highly innovative and disruptive solutions. For example, Wi-BUS™ reduces the number of towers and head ends to the greatest extent possible: where an urban Cellular or WiMAX system might employ up to 2,000 towers, Wi-BUS™ can use as few as 1 to 10 depending on the unique characteristics of the site. However, it is with regard to operational efficiencies that Wi-BUS™ creates a true paradigm shift. LJN has combined its unique, proprietary and highly efficient transmission protocol with its disruptive patent pending and patented prioritization scheduler to achieve unheard of operational efficiencies. In many cases, these are as much as 300% to 500% greater than those currently offered by other wireless technologies.
