Overview

StreetNode™'s innovative engineering addresses the complex problem of having a carrier-grade network down to city's streets, anywhere. This unique "all-in-one" solution is based on a revolutionary software-defined radio platform, which realizes connectivity service through overlay coverage and facilitation of street-level ("clutter") networking.

StreetNode™ operates in a variety of frequencies (26 / 32 / 42 GHz (ETSI)) and can be deployed on lamp posts or building walls, thus reducing the associated site costs significantly.

Controlled by an intelligent SON (Self-Organizing Network) Manager, which simplifies provisioning, ensures service availability and automates optimization, StreetNode™ accelerates service deployment and minimizes investment and operational complexity.

Highlights

Applications

Efficient & Accelerated Small Cell Backhaul

Traditional Point-to-Multipoint (PtMP) and Point-to-Point (PtP) backhaul architectures have limited practicality for small cell (SmC) backhaul. PtP links, when used to connect multiple SmC locations at street level, often lead to multi-hop, complex, and costly network designs.

Meanwhile, relying solely on Non-Line-of-Sight (NLOS) technologies, although offering deployment flexibility by overcoming LOS constraints, is restricted to sub-6 GHz frequencies where spectrum availability is limited and licenses are expensive. Additionally, NLOS propagation, which relies on signal reflections, can introduce significant interference among adjacent links, reducing capacity below nominal values.

StreetNode™ overcomes these challenges through a software-defined radio architecture capable of both PtMP and PtP operation, optimizing connectivity in dense urban environments. Its in-clutter extension capabilities enable seamless connectivity for SmCs lacking direct LOS with the overlay PtMP hub. A single StreetNode™ unit provides both overlay and street-level coverage, eliminating the need for alternative technologies and their associated limitations.

Accelerated Deployment of Public & Private Surveillance Networks

StreetNode™ enables the rapid deployment of surveillance infrastructures for public and private sector organizations by offering a cost-effective, fully integrated solution for various security applications, including:

• High-definition video surveillance for campuses and large public spaces.
• Perimeter security for industrial sites, pipelines, refineries, and drilling facilities.
• Traffic monitoring with discreet, low-profile radios.
• Wireless interconnection of remote or borderline surveillance cameras.
• Monitoring of energy infrastructure and smart grid facilities.

The StreetNode™ network efficiently aggregates high-definition (HD) video feeds from security cameras across large facilities. Expansion is seamless—new nodes are simply deployed alongside additional cameras. By leveraging advanced wireless connectivity, StreetNode™ removes the barriers to network expansion, allowing organizations to focus on their core security operations.
