1. Hybrid Internet Network
AISN’s hybrid network is designed to provide the best of both worlds: the speed and reliability of fibre-optic internet and the flexibility and accessibility of wireless connectivity.
Backbone Fibre Network:
We partner with Bandwidth and Cloud Services (BCS), to utilize their extensive fibre optic cable backbone network. This ensures high-speed, low-latency internet connectivity with the capacity to handle large volumes of data traffic.
WiFi HaLow Technology:
To bridge the last-mile connectivity gap, AISN employs WiFi HaLow (IEEE 802.11ah), a revolutionary wireless technology designed for long-range, low-power internet access. WiFi HaLow operates in the sub-1 GHz spectrum, enabling it to penetrate walls, trees, and other obstacles, making it ideal for rural and urban environments alike.
2. How It Works
AISN’s infrastructure is designed to simplify internet access for customers while ensuring maximum efficiency and reliability.
Step 1: Fibre Backbone Connectivity
Internet traffic is routed through BCS’s high-capacity fibre-optic network, ensuring fast and stable connectivity.
Step 2: WiFi HaLow Access Points
AISN installs WiFi HaLow Access Points at strategic locations, such as cell towers, buildings, and other elevated structures. These access points broadcast internet signals over long distances, covering wide areas with minimal infrastructure.
Step 3: Direct Device Connectivity
Customers can connect directly to the WiFi HaLow network using compatible devices, such as smartphones, tablets, laptops, and IoT devices. There is no need for traditional Wi-Fi routers in homes or offices, reducing costs and complexity for end-users.
3. Key Features of WiFi HaLow Technology
- Long Range: WiFi HaLow can cover up to 1 kilometer distances, making it ideal for connecting remote areas.
- Low Power Consumption: Devices connected to WiFi HaLow consume significantly less power, extending battery life for IoT devices and reducing energy costs.
- High Capacity: WiFi HaLow supports thousands of devices per access point, ensuring reliable connectivity in densely populated areas.
- Penetration: The sub-1 GHz frequency allows signals to penetrate walls, trees, and other obstacles, ensuring consistent connectivity even in challenging environments.
4. Infrastructure Deployment
AISN’s infrastructure is designed for scalability and reliability, ensuring we can meet the growing demand for internet connectivity across Zimbabwe.
- Fibre Backbone: Leveraging BCS’s existing fibre network, we ensure high-speed connectivity to major urban and rural hubs.
