Consecutive Point Networks n n n n Scaleable & Flexible: Build to customer demand, matching revenue generation with network investment outlay Reliable & Available: Dual route (path) diverse links to customers Backhaul to backbone network inherent in architecture (minimizes backhaul issue and cost) Simpler RF planning: Easier adaptation as network grows in size and density (grow and evolve to mesh) High spectrum efficiency: One 50 MHz channel pair gives greatest, most flexible, and highest bandwidth density per customer Dense network deployment because of efficient RF spectrum management of co-channel interference Uses state-of-the-art standard network equipment--fully future proof --Best choice for medium to high capacity BW needs © 2000 Triton Network Systems, Inc.

Consecutive Point and Mesh Topology n n Mesh network advantages: u High survivability u Support heterogeneous and dynamic traffic patterns Consecutive Point is a minimal form of mesh (n[the # of conections per node] = 2), which provides full redundancy u Consecutive Point can readily be expanded to complex mesh, if needed: u Economic justification of extra links: • Additional capacity? • Additional reliability? --Typically ROI diminishes rapidly as n increases beyond two © 2000 Triton Network Systems, Inc.
