ORiNOCO Outdoor RouterFeatures

Adaptive Dynamic Polling Switches between standard CSMA/CA (contention based) operation and

“round-robin polling” based on sensed network load In polling-mode, COR will issue polls; RORs will not transmit unless they are

polled In polling-mode, hidden nodes is addressed, but throughput per ROR might

be reduced

IP Routing RFC Compliant classfull IP router with RIP1 capability is present. Helps to reduce unwanted traffic on wireless link.



Data Compression Transmissions between IEEE 802.11 systems is associated with relative large

inter-frame spaces (gaps), which add to overhead, and reduce throughput. Smaller packets are combined in so-called “super frames” to reduce overhead

on the link. Throughput increase depends on typical packet size. Applications that use

small packets benefit the most.

Continuous Signal Quality Monitoring RF signal level, noise level and signal quality is monitored continuously for

each wireless connection. Information is recorded from normal traffic (data and polls) and statistics

maintained. Can be queried using SNMP.



Bandwidth throttling Network managers can limit bandwidth per remote station. This is implemented in the RORs and Outdoor Router Clients.

Remote wireless link test Quality of a selected link between two Outdoor Routers can be assessed Active test, that transmits/receives test packets.

Bridge protocol filtering Capability to block selected Ethernet protocols, in order to reduce loss of

bandwidth

VLAN Trunk address support VLAN trunk addresses are passed though the Outdoor Router Allows the Outdoor Router to be used in a network with switches



Data encryption WEP64 or 128 RC4 encryption depending on the type of ORiNOCO PC Card

used.

CHAP based authentication Remote stations can only communicate with a Central Outdoor Router, when

passing the MD5 based “Challenge Response Protocol”.


ORiNOCO Outdoor RouterTarget applications - Point to point

Used to connect LANs in two different buildings: Buildings not necessarily on a

campus (could be spread over a city) Distance to cover typically larger than

on a campus (2.5 - 20 km) End to end distance can be increased

by use of repeaters

Target businesses: Central to Branch Office Connectivity Municipal Offices, Police, Fire,

Library Airports, Oil Exploration and Rigs Industrial Power, Water, Oil

Distribution Networks

Up 11 Mbps

Multiple Point to Point links


ORiNOCO Outdoor RouterTarget applications - Point to multipoint

Used to connect LANs in a central building to ones in satellite buildings: Buildings typically on a campus Distance to cover determined

by the size of a campus (1 - 11 km)

Target businesses: Airports Manufacturing campuses University campuses Military complexes Oil Exploration sites

Up 11 Mbps

Point to Multi- Point network


ORiNOCO Outdoor RouterTarget applications - Wireless Internet

Used to connect LANs in a central building and Outdoor Router Client stations to Internet End points distributed over several

locations Endpoint have no business relation

with each other Distance to cover determined by the

size of a campus (1 - 11 km)
