xMax® CN3100 Vehicle Modem IP67-RATED RUGGEDIZED SUBSCRIBER DEVICE

xMax® CN3100 Vehicle Modem
IP67-RATED RUGGEDIZED SUBSCRIBER DEVICE
The xMax® CN3100 Vehicle Modem is an IP67-rated ruggedized subscriber device that is designed to be installed
inside or outside vehicles. The CN3100 acts as a transparent protocol bridge, allowing users of WiFi-enabled
smartphones, tablets, notebooks and other devices to seamlessly access the Internet through the xMax cognitive
radio network.
The CN3100 is waterproof and made to withstand wide temperature ranges
and challenging environmental conditions. It has been designed to meet
the extreme demands characteristic of expeditionary environments, making
it ideally suited for use in the public safety, homeland security, and military
market applications.
While primarily developed for vehicle usage, the CN3100 may also be externally
mounted in fixed locations like parks or other outdoor areas to provide WiFi
access for use in monitoring, surveillance, machine-to-machine and other
applications using the xMax backhaul link.
The CN3100 provides exceptional QoS (quality of service) while supporting calling, texting and broadband data
streams over the xMax network. It includes a WiFi router chip that allows it to simultaneously support multiple
external devices wirelessly. It enables operators to deploy long-range xMax networks that can smoothly integrate
with the large installed base of WiFi and Ethernet-capable wireless devices. By incorporating high-power xMax
radios, the CN3100 can provide range and reliability applications that are comparable to commercial cellular
systems.
The CN3100 and xMax system support nomadic and fully mobile connectivity , including handoffs. As with all
the components in the xMax family of products, the CN3100 is designed to offer maximum range, flexibility,
throughput and reliability, while minimizing network deployment and management costs. This makes xMax a
comprehensive solution for public safety communications, as well as WiSPs, telcos and other service providers
facing challenging network deployment environments.
World’s First Carrier Class-Cognitive Radio Network
The CN3100 utilizes advanced cognitive radio technology that incorporates OFDM and MIMO to yield outstanding
interference rejection, high mobility, and resistance to fading. The CN3100 is frequency-agile, allowing it to
automatically retune itself to find and operate on clearer channels within the band. The CN3100 was designed
to leverage an array of high-performance, low-cost digital signal processors (DSPs) that enable advanced,
multidimensional signal processing. This combination of frequency-agile hardware and powerful signal processing
software gives the CN3100 unmatched dynamic spectrum access (DSA) and interference mitigation capabilities.
The result is a system that makes optimum use of all available spectrum resources in challening environments
while providing users with a “licensed spectrum experience” using unlicensed spectrum.
Flexible Configuration Options
The CN3100 features four external xMax antenna connectors, a connector for an external WiFi antenna, a
weatherproof Ethernet interface, a weatherproof power connector, mounting bracket and a status LED.
