The provision of wireless services is another way through which Shatel Group offers its broadband services. These services can be offered in all areas where there is either no possibility of using the wire or the customer’s distance from the telecommunication centers is so much that it is not possible for the customer to communicate through the wires.

Additionally, customers who need more bandwidth or are not willing to change their phone line use, can access their preferred and desired bandwidth using broadband services. In this method, using specific frequency bands, air communication is established between Shatel and the customer’s organization.

It should be noted that frequency bands previously used for air communication were frequency bands of 2.4 GHz and 5.2 GHz, capacity of which is almost full due to excessive use. Accordingly, to provide the best possible service and eliminating the aforementioned problem, Shatel Group has acquired dedicated frequency bands and provides the customers with wireless services through these dedicated bands.

By leveraging other frequencies in addition to the frequencies mentioned above, and obtaining the license from the Communications Regulatory Authority to use these frequencies, Shatel provides customers with wireless links in a completely new way and free of any kind of noise. The main advantage of this service is providing very stable and quality links that do not require maintenance and frequency monitoring. In fact, this is how the problems caused by frequency interference, that has always been problematic in Tehran and major cities of Iran, will be addressed.

Wireless Broadband Provision

Wireless communication between the centers or different geographical locations of companies and organizations is done as follows:

• Creating Communication Channels by Shatel

In order to establish air communication between two different locations, there needs to be a Line of Sight (LOS) between the provider company and the customer’s organization. Shatel has made it possible by installing masts in its Points of Presence Sites (POPSite). This makes it possible to communicate with more customers at multiple geographic locations.

• Controlling the frequency interference with other centers

Once the communication channel has been established, it must be ensured that the desired frequency is not full and there is no interference with other centers. Due to the fact that Shatel makes special use of dedicated bands, this problem has been largely predicted and resolved.

• Receiving waves at customer’s location

As noted earlier, to receive the waves, there should be a direct Line of Sight between the provider and the customer. Depending on the location of customer’s organization, this communication is sometimes established without the need for a mast at the customer’s premises and sometimes via installing a mast on the premises. An antenna and a radio receiver are also used to receive these waves and establish the communication.

When there is no direct Line of Sight (LOS), NLOS method can be used by means of special equipment. In this method, despite the lack of Line of Sight, it will be possible to send bandwidth to the customer. But this bandwidth is limited and there will not be much bandwidth available. In this method, the bandwidth typically reaches to several megabytes per second.

After establishing the communication, customer’s organization can use the Internet services round the clock and online at a speed a thousand times faster than Dial Up. In this method, according to the bandwidth purchased, it is possible for dozens of users to connect simultaneously and network connection is also possible for the users at different geographical locations, and even in buildings and cities separate from each other. At present, various customers and organizations such as ISPs and ISDPs (large public and private organizations) all around the country are using this service of Shatel Group and benefit from the comprehensive, dedicated Shatel support.
