Hermes Technology Acquires Wi-LAN - VIP 110-24 Advantage

Wi-LAN, Inc. - VIP 110-24 Advantage product incorporates Wi-LAN’s patent-pending anypoint-to-multipoint VINE technology, which permits the implementation of long distance, medium subscriber density broadband Internet access networks a node-at-a-time. VINE networks deal with Non-Line of Sight (NLOS) limitations in a cost-effective manner by using established network nodes as repeaters for other nodes that either do not have Line-of-Sight or are too distant to have direct connectivity to the Internet node. VINE networks thus can have significantly lower costs than conventional cell based networks particularly when covering large sparsely populated areas. The VIP 110-24 is easy to install, operates over long distances, overcomes many NLOS obstacles and provides economic performance and capacity in the license-exempt 2.4 GHz frequency band.
