Wavion Releases Enhanced VoIP Support for Residential and Business Connectivity

Wavion™, a company transforming the Metro and Rural Wi-Fi market with a new category of Wi-Fi Base Station, announced today the release of a new software version with enhanced support for Voice-over-IP (VoIP) applications for residential and business connectivity.

Wavion base stations can now support a multitude of concurrent high quality voice calls in parallel to high capacity data flows. This capability is achieved by using a new mechanism that optimizes the air utilization and by leveraging Wavion’s unique and powerful beamforming technology that provides robust and high quality links.

The Wavion VoIP end to end solution integrates the WBS base station with off-the-shelf standard based components as Wi-Fi clients and a SIP bases ATA devices for the voice device. The Wavion solution can run on both 2.4GHz and 5.8GHz license exempt bands. Wavion’s Data and VoIP bundled solution optimizes the number of simultaneous calls, application priority and other consideration to support an end-to-end carrier grade voice and data services.

Wavion’s powerful spatially adaptive beamforming base stations provide extended range and higher throughput connectivity to standards-based Wi-Fi clients. Wavion’s Wi-Fi solution requires one third of the units than other competing Access Points (APs) to cover the same area, with superior indoor penetration and fewer dead spots. This superior Wi-Fi performance makes Wavion an ideal infrastructure solution for wide-area metro coverage.

"Wavion is proud to add this powerful VoIP capability to its base station product line,” said Eran Kaplan, Wavion's EVP Sales and Marketing. "Wavion Wi-Fi end-to-end solution can now support also high quality VoIP services, which is a critical factor in business and residential connectivity in metro and rural deployments. This makes our Wi-Fi broadband solution ideal for providing high quality and cost effective business and residential connectivity in emerging markets for existing and new Wavion customers.”
