Solution Overview

EXTEND CONNECTIVITY AND ELIMINATE LEASED LINE COSTS

Gain control over your network applications, improve security and eliminate leased line costs using Redline’s rugged and innovative broadband wireless communications for military machine-to-machine applications. Military organizations worldwide use Redline as the smart alternative to fiber when extending private networks to areas where fiber installation costs are prohibitive or where no rights-of-way exist. With a rugged design, certified FIPS 140-2 security, simple setup, rock-solid reliability, and scalable performance options, Redline broadband wireless systems with Virtual Fiber™ technology create secure, affordable M2M communications that can be deployed quickly to solve connectivity issues, improve overall operational capability and eliminate leased line costs.

Powerful Network Performance

Provide video, voice and M2M data connectivity to improve operations, provide force protection, track radio-frequency identification (RFID) tagged assets and enable Internet access for Morale, Welfare and Recreation (MWR) with Redline’s industry leading capacity, long range, high throughput  and low latency.

Stringent Security

Redline radio platforms equipped with SecureLINK software deliver AES-256, X.509 authentication and FIPS 140-2 certification. Redline is the only broadband wireless company that meets the stringent security required by the federal government and the military. This level of security makes Redline radios the most deployed commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) broadband radios in the history of the U.S. Department of Defense.

Simplified Logistics

Rapidly deploy Redline’s small, lightweight radios where you need them. Low power consumption allows radios to be powered over the Ethernet cable (PoE). The radios can also easily be powered by solar, wind or battery sources in remote locations, easing deployment and saving hundreds of dollars on installation costs.

Redline’s innovative software-defined common radio platform simplifies network design and logistics. With a straightforward software download, Redline radios can be configured as point-to-point (PTP) or point-to-multipoint (PMP), for high to ultra-high throughput performance, and to run specialized applications such as video surveillance to an existing system.

Reliable Communications in Tough Environments

Uninterrupted M2M communication is assured when interconnecting buildings and remote assets such as cameras, sensors and Wi-Fi clouds over difficult topographies and in tough military environments with Redline’s ruggedized, hardened, and marine-ready design.

Redline’s advanced error correction and innovative non-line-of-sight (NLOS) radios provide reliable communications in the toughest interference conditions.

Reduce IT Costs

Software. Redline’s powerful radios, common PTP and PMP platform and high reliability combine with over-the-air (OTA) software updates to deliver the industry’s lowest lifetime cost. Purchase the bandwidth you need today and upgrade to higher bandwidth when your needs change. Realize more from your investment by adding other applications such as video surveillance with Redline’s software options. There is no need to replace hardware as your needs change.

This is why Redline radios are the most deployed COTS broadband radios in the history of the U.S. Department of Defense.

Features & Benefits

Feature

Benefit

Highest Throughput: up to 100 Mbps

Redline delivers up to two times more throughput than the competition, allowing you to support more applications and more users with fewer radios and room to grow.

Lowest Latency:
1 msec typical

Applications work the same as they do on wired networks. Redline solutions eliminate costly and time-consuming configuration management.

Longest Reach: over 120 km

You can privatize more of your network to maximize operating cost savings.

Software Configured

Software configured common radio platform — one platform for PTP and PMP applications — future upgrades over-the-air (OTA) to all portions of your network without costly hardware replacement.

Stringent Security

Redline is the only radio vendor certified to FIPS 140-2. Your data and your network are secure from eavesdropping and malicious attacks.

VLAN, VPN and Multicast

You can conserve valuable bandwidth to maximize the number of applications and users, with fewer radios, thus minimizing costs.

QoS Controls

Quality of Service (QoS) controls let you differentiate services to meet Service Level Agreement (SLA) commitments, lower costs and increase revenues.

Support for VLAN Tagging and Q-in-Q VLAN

VLAN tagging and Q-in-Q VLAN let your customers extend their VLANs without having to buy and manage more routers.

NLOS

NLOS radio technology eases deployment, reducing the need for high tower locations.

Low Power Design

Save hundreds of dollars on installation costs with Redline’s low power consumption, which enables powering over the Ethernet cables (PoE) by such sources as Photo Voltaic Solar power.

IP67-Certified

Redline's IP67-certified radios allow wireless installation in the toughest environments.

Field-Proven Reliability

A proven field MTBF of 29 years and a documented failure rate of 0.3% ensure maximum uptime.

Simplified Logistics

Small, lightweight, NLOS radios ease installation and simplify logistics.

Software Options

Redline’s software supports other service, such as video surveillance and data acquisition (SCADA or AMI), without costly hardware replacement.

Speed Keys

Pay only for the bandwidth you need today and purchase more in the future without replacing hardware.
