AWE

Assured Wireless Ethernet

Nomadio's AWE technology delivers long range, high bandwidth connections for delivering high speed video and Internet connectivity on the move where other radios cannot operate: urban environments through walls, vehicles, and elevators, desert scenarios over vast distances, and jungle environments through dense foliage.

The Agile AWE is a lightweight two radio, frequency agile, MIMO mesh router which uses Nomadio's advanced networking software. Its ability to operate on UHF frequencies, combined with Nomadio's unique OFDM mesh, allows unprecedented range and reliability.

Flexible and Intuitive

The lack of reliable, high speed wireless solutions affects many users in the military and homeland security arenas. The Agile AWE is ideal for vehicle or robot based deployments, infrastructure installations, or personnel dismount scenarios.

AWE makes it simple to integrate existing equipment onto the AWE reliable wireless backbone. Through a customary Ethernet connection, existing devices can be connected as easily as they can to a standard local area network. Alternatively, the AWE can provide a standard 802.11 access point or join an existing Wi-Fi network. No configuration is needed for most applications.

Frequency Agility

The Agile AWE is able to shift radio frequencies in order to find the optimal frequency for any situation: low UHF frequencies for penetrating into buildings and dense jungle, ISM frequencies for compatibility with off the shelf radios, and high frequencies to avoid jammers and other sources of interference.

Frequency Agility also provides the unique ability to for the user to select frequency bands based on theatre and mission (instead of at acquisition time). This allows deployment in virtually any region without hardware reconfiguration.

The Agile AWE contains two separate radios that operate simultaneously to provide unparalleled performance and reliability. Popular mission critical bands include:

• Low-Band Radio: 420 MHz, 900 MHz, 1.3 GHz, 1.8 GHz
• High-Band Radio: 2.4 GHz, 4.9 GHz, 5.0 GHz

MIMO

MIMO (Multiple-Input and Multiple-Output) is the use of multiple antennas at both the transmitter and receiver offering significant increases in data throughput and link range over SISO (Single-Input and Single-Output) without additional bandwidth or transmit power.

The Agile AWE uses two antennas for both transmit and receive (2x2 MIMO), on each radio card which offers twice the throughput, at the same power level as a traditional single antenna radio system.
