Introduction
GD-GEO20 offers reliable, great performance and cost-effective point-to-multipoint outdoor and indoor
wireless solutions perfectly suited for access technology, private network and hotspots. Beside that
APC (Access Point/Customer Premises Equipment) can be used for a light point-to-point applications.
APC works in unlicensed 2.4 or 5 GHz frequency band, which is attractive solution for quick and simple
network creation with minimum investment. These products support newest W LAN standards IEEE
802.11n and are compatible with IEEE 802.11a/b/g, also have options for SISO and MIMO
functionality. The private protocol named iPoll offers effective point-to-multipoint deployment scenario.
3.1 Deployment Scenarios
3.1.1 HotSpot
AP
can easily create hotspot‟s zone network on 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz unlicensed band. IEEE 11n lets
achieve (depending on laptop, smart-phone or PDA capabilities) great throughput and support all
possible client equipment (based on IEEE 802.a/b/g). Hotspot zones can be created indoor or
outdoor.
HotSpot Scenario
3.1.2 Point to Multipoint
This is the IEEE 802.11n wireless multipoint which delivers several times higher throughput than
802.11a/g. The APC supports a private wireless point to multipoint protocol called iPoll which allows
connecting more than one iPoll Stations to the iPoll Access Point thus creating a robust point to multi
point network.
