FEATURE: WI-FI DEPLOYMENT
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
With an explosion of
online devices over
the next few years, the
deployment of effective
Wi-Fi will be ever more
important. Intelligent
CIO speaks to InfiNet
about how the company
is building the platforms
which will cater for the
arrival of applications in
the future.

nfiNet Wireless has recently announced
the introduction of Quanta 5, the
company’s brand new 5 GHz Point-
to-Point (PTP) solution, designed on
InfiNet’s latest Software Defined Radio
(SDR) technology.
Providing one of the highest spectral
efficiencies available in today’s wireless
marketplace – even when operating in high
interference environments, often experienced
in many parts of the Middle East – the new
Quanta 5 solution can serve a diverse range
of applications, and more specifically back-
hauling for Wi-Fi, LTE and 4G base stations,
transmission of high-resolution CCTV and
video streams, as well as providing Internet
access to remote locations.
Kamal Mokrani, Global Vice President at
InfiNet Wireless, said: “Based on valuable
feedback gained from customers across
the globe, including several here in the
Middle East, we identified a niche for a
cost-effective and high-capacity point-to-
point solution to operate in licence-exempt
frequency bands.
“Driven by a significant market demand for
Big Data connectivity from various sectors
of the industry, and leveraging our advanced
SDR wireless breakthroughs, we are now able
to deliver a range of carrier grade and even
easier to deploy and install solutions, like
the Quanta 5, which can meet and exceed
expectations on bandwidth demands,
reliability and interference mitigation in
unlicensed bands. This is only one of the
strategic steps we have taken to better cater
for the 5G revolution.
“Solutions like the Quanta 5 deliver even
higher performance than our previous
platforms, making it ideal for any service
provider considering the launch of new
generation infrastructures aimed at catering to
current and future 5G and IoT requirements.
“We designed this solution as an all-in-one
package to enable operators of all sizes
to quickly deliver high-capacity premium
services to their corporate clients, to
interconnect their network nodes wherever
they are located, or simply to provide
Internet connectivity to end-users.
“Quanta 5 can also be deployed as part of
a wide area network to connect remote
locations to the main control and operations
centres, whether for oil and gas companies
as a part of their smart oilfield strategy,
or for financial institutions wishing to
seamlessly connect all their branches and
offer a better customer experience.”
Mokrani added: “Whether it is 5G, AI or
Blockchain, the Middle East continues to be
an early adopter of innovative technology.
Coupled with our firm intention of always
Pushing the
boundaries
of wireless technology
