Broadband Wireless Access Technology

Abstract

AMC is the greatest company in mining filed in Sudan, whereas the HQ-Office located in Khartoum and there mine fields located in rural area in Red Sea Hills in most eastern of Sudan which it is out of range of telecommunication company (Sudatel), so there will not be any exchange of information and communication between AMC-HQ office and mine filed.

Our Challenge is to find the nearest location from AMF site that fiber optic cross it to connect AMF site , so an AMC-HQ office will be connected with AMF with an optimal and capable solution with low cost.

After studying all the network solutions available in the world market, we choose a wireless solution called Canopy Ethernet Bridge from Motorola which is suitable for the AMC connectivity case, this product work for long distance greater than 200 km and give high throughput between 1 up to 20 Mbps, it also sends signals by three methods (LOS, nLoS, NLOS) because it is using an OFDM technology.

This solution was implemented by using Simulation software called PTP linkPlanner to ensure the efficiency and capability of Motorola PTP wireless solution for AMC before real implementation, it give us an excellent result.

On the basis of the obtained results which meet the AMC requirements we recommend to implement this solution and deploy it for other fields.
