The Hybrid Wireless Infrastructure (HYWIN) is an essential element to endeavor into the digital age.  This radio-based infrastructure, consisting of 2 most renowned wireless platforms of WiFi (IEEE 802.11b/g) and WiMAX (IEEE 802.16). The combined platforms create the most stable wireless broadband access to the public without extensive spending to acquire the service. HYWIN is considered as the Intense Data Highway which provide the convenience to the mass. WiMAX will be employed to provide the backbone linking the WiFi serving users to the internet. This approach is proposed because while WiMax can deliver superior bandwidth and speed, it lacks the Customer Premises Equipment (CPE’s) and devices such as notebooks, PDAs, etc. that WiFi already has.

Functionality

The smart antenna Base Station combines PacketSteering™ technology and a phased array antenna to provide up to 12 times the coverage area of industrial-grade Wi-Fi products. 

This approach enables a new outdoor Wi-Fi deployment architecture with fewer Wi-Fi devices, rather than managing many Wi-Fi Access Points, resulting in a system that is easier to manage and secure. 

Suitable deployment environments:

-    University and education campuses

-    Government and Military facilities

-    Logistics facilities

-    Resorts and Hotels

-    Outdoor sports facilities

-    Seaports, Airports, Train terminals 

The Wi-Fi Base Station utilizes a smart antenna to form 6 narrow beams of Wi-Fi that transmit  802.11b/g  packets  to  standard  Wi-Fi  clients.  The  Base  Station  provides connectivity to the Internet at speeds up to 54Mbps over much greater areas than with traditional Wi-Fi products because it uses its entire phased array antenna to receive low- power transmissions from distantly located clients. 

Deployed as a system, the system  supports up to 24 common AP/Bridges via Wireless Distribution System (WDS) links to extend the Wi-Fi coverage area, to fill in coverage gaps, or to add capacity. Flexible network architectures of EC provide comprehensive outdoor coverage for even the most demanding deployments.
