LigoWave’s NEW LigoDLB ac range gives WISPs the opportunity to upgrade their network using technology that will increase their network capacity and expand their services portfolio for additional revenue.

What sets the LigoDLB ac range apart is not only its outstanding performance but also its improved noise immunity; making it a great choice for congested areas with low noise-free spectrum availability.

Wireless internet service provider Linkfor, is one of the first WISPs in Russia who started using LigoWave point-to-multipoint products in their network. Linkfor has over 4000 commercial clients in total and 1255 of those clients are connected using LigoWave devices.

Linkfor recently set up a network with 60 client devices connected to the LigoDLB PRO 5-90-17ac base station. The base station comes with an integrated 17dBi dual-polarized 90° sector antenna. The CPEs used for this network were LigoDLB 5-15ac and LigoDLB 5-20ac, with all devices operating in iPoll 3 mode. Initially, the new equipment was deployed for just testing purposes; however it has now transformed the network, allowing it to provide commercial services.

The selected base station (LigoDLB PRO 5 -90 – 17 ac) has a metal enclosure that works as a deflector eliminating interference and rejecting noise when different wireless equipment is co-located on a single tower.

The real TCP throughput was between 60 Mbps and 70 Mbps with all 60 CPEs connected. Linkfor offers the 4 Mbps plan for their customers.

Stats:

Mode: Access point (iPoll 3)

Channel width: 20 MHz

Number of connected CPEs: 60 (LigoDLB 5 – 15 ac and LigoDLB 5 – 20 ac)

CPE distances: 0.3 – 3 km

Customer service: Internet access

The graph above shows the throughput of a real wireless network containing 60 client devices. The graph was taken during the evening period when network activity is at its peak. The average throughput in the evening is around 38 Mbps and maximum throughput reaches up to 76 Mbps. It is important to mention that the devices are operating on a 20 MHz channel width.

The below performance test shows that  the new generation LigoDLB ac provides about 30% higher performance compared to its predecessor and it is an ideal upgrade solution for 11N technology based networks. The max capacity of the base-station can go up to 500 Mbps, which allows delivering fast and reliable internet connectivity at a very competitive price.
