Today’s small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) might be relatively small in scale, but the communications services they demand are no less diversified or advanced than those of larger corporations. From basic telephony to high-speed Internet and enhanced VPN services, SMEs are demanding high-performance access solutions at a low cost. But that doesn’t mean that their link into the global communications backbone is necessarily fulfilled. Quite to the contrary, SMEs represent one of the most underserved market sectors on the communications landscape.
On the other side, whether they are established telecoms or new CLECs (competitive local exchange carriers) or ISPs (Internet service providers), service providers are always looking to expand their reach into new and growing access markets, and SMEs present just that. The primary challenge common to both established and new service providers, however, is how to serve their underserved Last Mile commercial customers with cost-appealing efficiency and high performance.
RAD’s Airmux-200 rises to the challenge on both counts. This point-to-point broadband wireless multiplexer offers service providers the first truly compelling license-exempt solution for addressing SME connectivity challenges in the Last Mile, both in terms of price and performance.
A long-range and all-weather wireless system, Airmux-200 performs flawlessly at a fraction of the cost of other alternatives. It extends network reach and matches the demands of new and existing customers for high quality broadband access services. Moreover, the fact that the system comprises both Ethernet and TDM technologies means that service providers can offer SME customers a highly flexible package from voice only, to data only, to bundled services.
Airmux-200 allows traditional wireline operators to maintain their supremacy in the communications arena by allowing them to quickly expand to new voice and data markets from their existing points-of-presence (POPs) without incurring costly rollout investments. Airmux-200 also presents an ideal temporary option for rolling out enhanced services in the Last Mile as the deployment of wireline infrastructure continues at its own pace.
For new CLECs or ISPs, deploying Airmux-200 as an all-wireless or complementary wireless network is quick and painless with a great time-to-revenue ratio. It throws the door wide open for seizing Last Mile subscribers and generating new avenues for revenue. And since RAD’s solution supports both voice and data services (E1s/T1s connect the PBXs, and Ethernet connects the routers to the service provider’s network), operators of all types and sizes can diversify their offering to meet their customers’ specific networking demands and budgetary considerations. Airmux-200 also provides ample coverage, spanning distances of up to 80 km/50 miles.
