\nProject Implementer:<\/strong> Sistem Co Ltd.
\nGoal:<\/strong> Expanding the Coverage of Wi-Fi Area in Northern Cyprus<\/p>\n
\n
Information<\/h2>\n
The wireless project AIRNETWORX has been implemented in Cyprus by Sistem Co Ltd. The main goal of the project was
\nto extend the coverage of Islands\u2019 Wi \u2013 fi area. The enterprise AIRNETWORX was initiated due to the fact that connectivity
\nprovided by the local telecom in the northern part of the Island was relatively poor.
\nThe architecture, design, engineering and implementation of AIRNETWORX have been done by Sistem Co Ltd, while LigoWave
\nexperts have provided their support and technical knowledge.<\/p>\n
Challenges<\/h2>\n
The telecommunications infrastructure was not used. LigoPTP products were used in the backbone links while LigoPTP UNITY 5-N<\/strong> devices were selected for the backbone of the network, which did a perfect job ensuring the minimum While the models DLB \u2013 5M \u2013 90, DLB – Propeller 5, DLB \u2013 5M \u2013 18,<\/strong> was the selection for the base stations. The distance AIRNETWORX is still in a development phase and is continuously growing. Sistem Co Ltd. provides internet services covering AIRNETWORX is also providing L2 and L3 services via its network. L3 is provided using PPPOE protocol while L2 service is![\"icon-piggy-bank\"](\"http:\/\/ligowave.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/icon-piggy-bank.jpg\"){kind=icon}

\nCost \u2013 although the application called for equipment with excellent quality, the solution needed to be
\ncost-effective.<\/p>\n<\/a>
\nUnusual landscape and network topology required a professional backhaul solution capabale of delivering
\nhigh throughput even to the distant locations. High PPS (packet per second rate) was necessary to ensure
\nsufficient data transmission over the network.<\/p>\n<\/a>The noisy spectrum in some areas of equipment deployment has been experienced due to GSM stations
\nand other wireless networks. The obstacle was successfully eliminated by manufacturing and installing the
\naluminum shields behind the antennas by the GSM base stations. The next struggle has been experienced with
\ndifferent dish and frequency utilization. At most times it was a success though a lot of time should have been
\ndevoted for installing the devices at the necessary signal level.<\/p>\nSolution<\/h2>\n
\nDeliberant products were used in the base stations.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/a> <\/a><\/a><\/p>\n
\nrequired capacity of 130 Mbps without any disturbance.<\/p>\n
\nfrom the base stations to the clients\u2018 site was on average 7 km ( DLB \u2013 5M \u2013 18<\/strong>) and 3 km ( DLB \u2013 Propeller 5<\/strong>). The
\nperformance evaluated by data throughput is different due to spectrum, yet in all locations reaches 8 Mbps for each CPE.
\nThe first year of the projects\u2019 AIRNETWORX implementation, involved creating the reliable infrastructure, in parallel with
\nproviding internet services for the users, while in the following two years, the improvements were made on purpose to obtain a
\nbetter performance in the wireless network.<\/p>\n
\n1800 km of North Cyprus. They are providing 130 Mbps wireless services in 4 main cities and more than 200 villages of the
\nIsland. Their aim is to continue expanding the network to cover an area of 2800 Km2.<\/p>\n
