Understanding
Teligent's Broadband Fixed Wireless Technology
Wireless
Network Architecture
Teligent's
network uses microwave technology to offer T1 to OC-Level connectivity.
Speed to market is a unique advantage of fixed wireless technology,
as it allows for rapid design and implementation. Many ILECs (Incumbent
Local Exchange Carrier) are at capacity, and cannot handle the demand
for additional bandwidth without building extensive new facilities.
With a fixed wireless architecture, Teligent can bypass the ILEC
to provide carriers with the access their customers need. The technology
also allows for custom build applications with T1, DS3 and OC-Level
links to address private line, Internet access and building access
needs.

Radio
Link Performance
Teligent 's fixed wireless networks are designed for greater than
99.995% end-to-end reliability. This is comparable to carrier-class
reliability of many other types of telecommunications networks,
including those that do not utilize wireless technology.
Link
distances are engineered based on geographic weather patterns and
terrain. Over 30 years of weather data are used in conjunction with
sophisticated radio network design models to ensure optimum performance.
To date, Teligent's fixed wireless networks have withstood torrential
rain, gale force winds and earthquakes as well or better than landline
networks.
Network
Security
Licensed spectrum transmission uses proprietary and customized equipment
and protocols ensuring that over-the-air security breaches (such
as eavesdropping and service theft) are almost impossible. The very
narrow beam width of Teligent's point-to-point radios requires that
a receiving antenna has line of sight and is aligned at a precise
angle to the transmitting antenna. Given that the antennas will
be placed near the edge of the rooftops, it would be almost impossible
for someone to intercept the signal. Even if a trespassing receiver
intercepted the path of the link, the interceptor would need knowledge
of the proprietary symbol encoding, frame structure, FEC algorithm
and scrambling pattern of the radios to recover data. All data can
be encrypted using DES with a key size of up to 128 bit across the
link.
Network
Management
Teligent owns and operates a state-of-the-art, 24x7 Network Operations
Center (NOC) to constantly monitor and manage the health of the
network. Individual network elements send periodic status and performance
summary statistics to the NOC for analysis. Through multiple channels,
Teligent's network is constantly monitored to ensure the highest
level of quality.
