High Performance Wireless

Although Wireless technology is an integral part of all computers we utilize, whether it is a desktop, a tablet, or a smartphone, Wi-Fi access technology was designed and optimized for areas of very limited coverage, such as inside a house or office.

Using Wi-Fi in outdoor environments for larger coverage areas, such as universities, hotels, parks, or even more challenging environments as neighborhoods, harbors, and airports reveals the limitations of the Wi-Fi technology:

  • Limited coverage range from access point;
  • Inconsistent user experience, problems in frequent disconnections and irregular coverage;
  • Inefficiency in situations where there are many simultaneous connections by a large number of users.

The result: Many believe that WiFi is not a feasible solution for broad range coverage in outdoor areas.

The mynetworks solutions by Altai Technologies were designed to overcome these inherent limitations of Wi-Fi, making it possible to provide high-capacity and dependable coverage in large indoor and outdoor spaces. Our Altai Super Wi-Fi technologies are unique in the market and now they are available to supply you incomparable performance.

Technology

The mynetworks solutions by Altai Technologies were designed to overcome these inherent limitations of Wi-Fi, making it possible to provide high-capacity, quality, and dependable coverage in large indoor and outdoor spaces:

  • Better coverage: The Super Smart Antenna technology provide enhanced signal range, providing more uniform and better indoor penetration of the signal.
  • Greater capacity: The MIMO 8×8 technology supplies an average of 5 times better yield than the MIMO 3×3 standard in complex NLOS (Non-line-of-sight) surroundings.
  • Improved efficiency: The AirFi technology practically doubles the efficiency of the WiFi cells, due to optimized intelligence, even when there are a great number of simultaneous connections.

Super Coveragetm

Super-Coverage

The majority of standard Wi-Fi clients can connect to a wireless access point (AP) in a very limited range. They may work every well in an indoor area from a short distance range, but they display great performance limitations and very access range in large outdoor spaces.

The mynetworks solutions by Altai Technologies are equipped with a system of high tech antennas (Super Smart Antenna) integrated to its family of Super Wi-Fi stations considerably increasing the performance of any standard Wi-Fi client. Our patented antenna technology is based on a unique 8 element structure and an exclusive algorithm for processing the signals:

  • The data signal to the Wi-Fi client is captured by all 8 elements of the antenna matrix
  • The Smart Antenna technology processes the signal in real time and optimizes the SINR (signal interference noise ratio) of each Wi-Fi client
  • The Smart Antenna technology obtains polarization and angulation of the signal based on its 8 element antenna matrix and multiple radios, thereby considerably improving the quality and dependability of the connection

The combined utilization of these technologies in the Super Wi-Fi base stations provides the following advantages:

  • Dynamically routes the signal beam towards the Wi-Fi clients, significantly increasing the signal gain to at least 14dB (comparable to AP market standards) AP
  • The signal beam is dynamically routed to the Wi-Fi client and thereby reducing/suppressing any possible interferences from signals coming from other directions

Super Capacitytm

Super-Capacity

The mynetworks solutions by Altai Technologies employ two technologies concurrently, thereby increasing up to 10 times the capacity of our base stations:

  • The patented Smart Antenna technology – increased diversity of antennas manages the power of the signal and enhanced distance yield.
  • The AirFi technology – an exclusive algorithm for band control implemented in the Wi-Fi layer, increasing the efficiency and capacity of the solution.

Contrary to the solutions available from other manufacturers, supplying a MIMO 3×3 capacity, the mynetworks solution by Altai Technologies is equipped with a powerful set of 8 element antennas, enabling the base station to implement a MIMO 8×8 capacity including two simultaneous flows. Our MIMO 8×8 technology implements an enhanced cost x benefit relationship, resulting in a multiplication and more efficient capacity for each Wi-Fit channel.

Besides that, our AirFi technology overcomes one of the most fundamental challenges of the Wi-Fi technology: reduced efficiency in cells connected to over 10 users and “hidden-users” (users who cannot detect transmitted data from other users, bringing about a high number of collisions in the network). This technology utilizes a standard mechanism for controlling and programming the transmission of packages to each Wi-Fi client, thus reducing these collisions and enhancing the performance and network utilization.

Super Interference Immunitytm

Super-Interference-Immunity

​One of the benefits of our patented Smart Antenna technology is its narrow beam routed to the user and it inherently attenuates possible interferences originating from all directions that are not within the routed beam to the Wi-Fi client.

Combined with an exclusive algorithm for automatically selecting channel, the mynetworks solutions by Altai Technologies automatically monitors and selects the Wi-Fi channels with the least interference, providing better protection, performance, and immunity to interferences:

Super-Interference-Immunity2

When a base station undergoes interference of the signal from an adjacent site, only one sector is affected – the other sectors can still continue operating properly.
