Increase your Network Availability
DragonWave’s Ring/Mesh configuration enables carrier grade performance, while achieving the lowest network cost. DragonWave Ring/Mesh provides 99.999% availability by providing redundant link diversity from each location. The Ring/Mesh N+1 architecture require only one more link than there are nodes, thus minimizing network costs. This is significantly lower than a 1+1 architecture, where at least two or more links are needed per node, depending on the diversity required.
Other benefits of the DragonWave Ring/Mesh configuration include:
- Shortened Radio Links – requiring reduced antenna size and repeater requirements;
- Angle Diversity - providing 5 to10x per link availability improvements;
- Option for 3rd diverse links from any node; and
- Option for 2nd hub node to provide nodal redundancy.
Ring/Mesh is deployed by using DragonWave links, in tandem with an approved Ethernet switch, and a DragonWave multi-beam antenna assembly. The Ethernet switch provides protection switching in less than 50 ms.
The Mesh/Ring can be deployed with any of the following licensing options:
- Area License (i.e. 24 GHz DEMS, 28 GHz LMDS, 26 GHz LMDS);
- Link-by-Link licensing (i.e. 6, 7, 8, 11, 13, 15, 18, 23, 26 GHz); and
- 24 GHz Unlicensed.
