The exponential growth in multimedia mobile devices like cell phones, PDA’s, tablets etc., are posing a real challenge to Service Providers and enterprises. To address the rising demand for high-bandwidth, data-intensive services with guaranteed Quality of Services (QoS) Proxim offers its proprietary technology WORPdrive QoS. Unlike typical outdoor radios that provide QoS via 802.11e which is essentially built for indoor applications, the WORPdrive ensures that the most important data arrives with priority by differentiating between priorities of traffic as defined in the profiles for QoS (Quality of Service), similar to the 802.16 WiMAX QoS standard definition.

WORP® allows service providers to prioritize the traffic, allocating bandwidth based on the type of traffic. QoS is comprised of the following elements:

For added convenience, WORP Drive® QoS comes with several pre-defined QoS classes, SFCs and PIRs that a user can choose from,however for customization and unique requirements a network administrator can build QoS classes by adding new PIR’s and SFC’s.

BSU Redundancy: Proxim provides fail over features even for the point to multipoint solution. In this case the subscriber unit has a secondary base station that takes over the primary Base station in the event it fails. The subscriber unit continuously monitors the primary base station that allows it to seamlessly switch the complete traffic without any downtimes.

Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP): Proxim radios achieve high availability and offer link aggregation for mission critical applications by using two parallel links and additional Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) capable switches. In the event one link goes down the other one dynamically takes the entire load. Additionally, during regular course of operations, both links can be used to transmit data thereby reducing the congestion and improving performance.

This feature scans for interference free channels round the clock and dynamically selects the same, thereby ensuring minimal performance degradation from common interference sources.

ATPC (Automatic Transmit Power Control) is an adaptive feature that enables Proxim radios to continuously sense neighboring radios and dynamically adjust their transmit power. Standard wireless solutions void of this feature typically suffer from interference and signal saturations caused by neighboring radios leading to data errors and higher retransmissions ultimately causing lower throughput and sometimes even link outage.

With Auto Tx Antenna feature, a radio can automatically selects the best antenna port based on highest RSSI for data transmission..
