LibraPlus Price/Performance
• LibraPlus cost per megabyte
is the most competitive of all
5.x GHz radios on the
market today
Lowest
Price/Performance
for P2MP
Price performance calculations are based
on the average list price of 1 AP plus 10
CPE divided by the throughput.

LibraPlus Delivers Strong Security
• Inherently Secure with
Proprietary CDMA Protocol
• Standards Based Security
Includes WEP, AES, WPA.
• Password Protected
Management
• More Security Added by VLAN, IP
Filter & RF Group ID
• The multi-layer security approach
virtually makes it impossible for
anyone to decode.

Each signal is transmitted simultaneously on different frequencies
Configurable bandwidth allows for efficient co-location
Build high density cell sites to support 1000+ subscribers
OFDM protocol allows for urban NLOS customers up to 2 km from
base
Non-integrated base allows for wide range of sector antennas
Auto sensing 10/100BaseT 802.3 Ethernet LAN interface
Tx Output Power: +18, +26 or +28 dBm
5.x GHz, TDD
Bandwidth Normal: 20 MHz, or Turbo: 40 MHz
Telnet and Local Console, SNMP, standard and proprietary
MIBs
Network Attributes: Transparent bridging, 802.1Q,

Customer Premise Equipment (CPE)
•
Outdoor OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing)
divides the high-speed data stream into multiple signals
– Fully weatherproof outdoor unit (including weatherproof boot for
CAT5 cable)
– Very efficient use of bandwidth
– Insensitive to noise, interference, or reflected signals
– Channel estimation, cyclic prefixes and FEC produces the most
robust OFDM NLOS available
– OFDM products are able to effectively process signals which
have been affected by multi-path

Conclusions
• Increasing data volumes and internet market growth
justifies an examination wireless vs. landline.
• Multipoint Wireless over LibraPlus eliminates
dependence on Leased Landline Providers
• Business case for ownership depends on network
model and objectives for network expansion
• EION’s LibraPlus solution offers a strong technical and
financial basis for reduced CAPEX and OPEX costs
vs. Fiber
