Spring 2009 Product Guide

Welcome About AvaLAN Wireless Systems Inc. AvaLAN Wireless Systems, Inc. is a specialist in the industrial long range Wireless Ethernet market with both point-to-point products and point-to-multipoint systems. It offers robust and reliable solutions for both non line-of-sight 900 MHz and line-of-site 5.8 GHz wireless Ethernet bridge technology. AvaLAN s solutions offer affordable Ethernet connectivity at the network s edge. With both indoor and outdoor models available, and a full line of specialty 900 MHz and 5.8 GHz antennas, AvaLAN provides its customers with a way to replace costly wiring with a wireless Ethernet bridge that can remotely enable surveillance cameras, digital signage, biometric scanners, access control devices, remote printers, industrial networking and internet kiosks. AvaLAN s products offer the ideal combination of price, data rate, security, interference avoidance, quality-of-service and ease-of-use that professional installers and consumers are demanding. Ava- LAN Wireless Systems, Inc. is headquartered in Madison, Alabama, with remote offices in California and Canada. To contact the AvaLAN Wireless team: AvaLAN Technology Why use 900 MHz and 5.8 GHz? AvaLAN s products utilize narrow bandwidth and high power to produce the longest range wireless Ethernet links on the market today. Our radios provide a large number of discrete channels and have built-in frequency intelligence to provide robust immunity to interference. The 900 MHz products use a low frequency that can penetrate through trees and building walls. The 5.8 GHz products operate in a relatively quiet spectrum that has low interference and noise, providing transmission distances of 30 miles or more, even in high RF noise environments.

Sincerely, Advantages of our products Data rate When operating wireless Ethernet links in unlicensed spectrum, AvaLAN promotes narrow band, high power radios as the best choice to provide robust wireless Ethernet performance. Although faster radios may provide superior throughput today, reliable long-term operation in increasingly noisy spectrum requires narrow band operation at the highest power permitted by the FCC. Range AvaLAN radios are specifically designed to provide maximum penetration and interference immunity at a modest data rate rather than other wireless technologies that provide higher data rates at short range. Our products do not change rates as the distance increases. See Page 7 for a detailed range chart. Frequency intelligence Our radios are exceptionally robust because they adapt to noise and interference by using frequency intelligence to change channels. The radios continuously monitor the bit error rate of their link and will move to quieter areas of the spectrum. AvaLAN s 900 MHz radios choose from 12 unique channels while the 5.8 GHz radios choose from 58 unique channels. This capability provides an unequalled level of agility and robustness against interference. Ease-of-use The AvaLAN solution is a plug-and-play system with preset security keys and automatic frequency optimization. No selections are necessary, ensuring a simple and rapid installation without prior technical skills or additional training. Matt Nelson, CEO Mike Derby, Founder 2
