K3 Proprietary Technology
The K3 Lastmile solution system consists of two major outdoor components:
1. Base station
The K3 base station is an essential part of the K3 Lastmile solution wireless point-to-multipoint system. It provides the capability of secure and reliable microwave radio access to Internet service providers. It also offers the possibility to provide triple-play content to residential and business users within a 50 km radius of every base station. The base station is located at a central point to achieve the highest possible coverage.
Product highlights
- Cost-effective solution compared to fixed landlines.
- Optimal cost to performance ratio.
- Fast deployment and immediate revenue generation resulting in a short return on investment time.
- Service effective wireless solution platform.
- Range of signal up to 50 km (31 miles).
- Predefined working frequencies from 2 to 42 GHz.
- Transmitting up to 500 MHz in downlink (downstream) from sector to user.
- Receiving up to 500 MHz in uplink (upstream) from multiple users to the sector.
- Regulatory compliance with RF standards depending on selected frequencies.
- Compatibility with Coded Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (COFDM) and Time Division Multiplexing (TDM).
- Ability to function with Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA), Advanced Time-Division Multiple Access (ATDMA), and Synchronous Code-Division Multiple Access (SCDMA).
- Small scale, lightweight, high-performance, robust, and weatherproof solution
- Easy to install and operate.
- Low power consumption of maximum 500 W.
- Simple WEB interface for remote management.
- Automatic climatic control to assure the best possible working conditions.
2. Transceiver
The K3 transceiver is the counterpart of the base station and is located at the end user/customer premises. The transceiver enables a bi-directional microwave link, which offers a broadband connection between the end user and the base station. It enables simultaneous delivery of all the services that users need.
Product highlights:
- Fast and easy setup.
- Optimal cost to performance ratio.
- Compact, small-scale, all-in-one unit, embedded in a robust weatherproof casing, easy to install and operate. IP 66 certified. Compatible mount with standard satellite dishes.
- Regulatory compliance with RF standards depending on selected frequencies.
- Signal range up to 50 km (31 miles).
- Predefined working frequencies from 2 to 42 GHz.
- Receiving up to 1000 MHz in downlink (downstream) from base station to user.
- Transmitting up to 40 MHz in uplink (upstream) from user to base station.
- Compatibility with Coded Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (COFDM) and Time Division Multiplexing (TDM).
- Ability to function with Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA), Advanced Time-Division Multiple Access (ATDMA), and Synchronous Code-Division Multiple Access (SCDMA).
- Real triple-play wireless solution.
- Advanced self-protective auto-off system.
- Low power consumption of only 12W maximum.
