5 | | Taking on the unique challenge, the team in Motorola Bangalore is developing low-cost and medium-range networking technologies (1-1.5Km cell radii) based on the popular IEEE 802.11 a/b/g standards. The aim is to increase the range of the popular standard 10-fold with minimal modifications to the 802.11 standard. This will enable the team to use off-the-shelf components, keeping the equipment prices low. At the same time, increasing the range will allow them to support a large area (main buildings in a village, like school, postal office, administration buildings) in one wireless hop connected to one DSL connection. This ensures reasonable data rates to 20-30 terminals at 256-512 kbps, providing an adequate user experience. |
