The Technology
The Tarana ngFWA platform’s unrivaled performance is powered by a number of industry firsts in wireless technology that were driven directly by our first-principles, clean-sheet approach to fully addressing the core problems that have handicapped all prior attempts at fixed wireless access.
Distributed Massive MIMO
Large numbers of radios on both the BN and RN increase precision of all algorithms and enable more complex & accurate techniques (O(n3) rather than just O(n)).
Perfect Multipath Integration
Applying signal processing across time, frequency, and spatial domains yields a perfect channel even with the most complex diffraction, reflection, and motion effects; this enables the G1 platform to deliver excellent performance despite nLoS and NLoS conditions (buildings, foliage).
Asynchronous Burst Interference Cancelation (ABIC)
Cancels up to 40 dB of asynchronous interference from any source outside the network. The before & after graphic shows how the ABIC innovation extracts the 256-QAM constellation from the noise, with each bit of the signal (represented by dots) is crisp and cleanly transmitted.
Tarana Cloud Suite
The Tarana Cloud Suite (TCS) is our cloud-hosted system used to monitor, manage, and troubleshoot Tarana base and remote nodes. TCS makes it easy to plan, install, provision, and manage ngFWA radio networks. It provides network management, business operations, and control-plane functions summarized below. As a cloud-based offering, TCS has been implemented with industry best practices around high availability and redundancy, data security, and automatic scaling.
24 x 7 x 365 KPI monitoring and management, including long-term historic data fault logging, correction, and reporting
Firmware and configuration management automation with pre-provisioning support
End-user login and management with role-based access
Alarms and historic events with email and text alerts
User-defined threshold-based alerts
Alarm correlation, capacity expansion, anomaly detection
API support for zero-touch deployment configuration, with minimal to no changes on directly connected infrastructure
Infrastructure authentication
QoS management
Speed-test tools
All control and management plane traffic is encrypted from the device to TCS
Subscriber data travels at the operator’s network level, never transmitted to TCS
Over-the-air traffic between BN and RN is AES-128 encrypted JSON web tokens are used to ensure the integrity of each session
Each operator has a unique identifier used to restrict access between multiple tenants on TCS
Role-based access further limits the privileges available to a TCS user
Periodic 3rd-party penetration testing ensures continued TCS security (following the PTES, OWASP, and NIST 800-115 standards)
Real World Results
ngFWA is incredibly fast.
ngFWA’s real-world performance is now well proven. A sample of 50,000 live commercial links, shows the technology delivering unparalleled performance averaging 414/109 Mbps DL/UL despite NLoS conditions and high interference.
Speed Profiles
Link Challenges
Tarana’s ngFWA just works, even in challenging real-world conditions.
Sample deployments from four of our leading customers – Visionary Broadband, Nextlink Internet, DigitalPath, and Resound Networks – in very different geographies further highlight the commercial success of the G1 platform. There are two key takeaways from their experiences:
- G1 easily supports over 150 RNs per sector, with over 90% of links able to receive 400 Mbps DL service despite link obstructions (both nLoS and NLoS).
- G1 delivers unprecedented performance on both the CBRS and the free-to-use 5 GHz unlicensed band.
Tarana’s ngFWA is highly scalable.
As operators’ deployments advance in multi-cell installations in the same markets, the Tarana ngFWA platform also enables unparalleled scale potential and universal 360° coverage through its inter-cell interference cancellation, even enabling all radio elements (both base and remote nodes) to operate in a single spectrum band (k=1 frequency reuse). The live example below shows G1’s inter-cell interference cancelation proven out in commercial deployment.
