Quantenna's 802.11n MIMO chipset used in 3G/4G offload to Wi-Fi and wireless backhaul

Quantenna Communications has announced that SMARTROVE LLC has selected Quantenna's 802.11n MIMO chipset for use in carrier-grade 3G/4G offload applications to transport critical police video surveillance traffic in Hamilton City, Bermuda. This is the first use of 802.11n wireless to carry session initiation protocol (SIP)-enabled telephony across the island of Bermuda applying enterprise grade 802.1X security.

Quantenna's QHS710 chipset enables SMARTROVE's SR1410 wireless LAN solution to deliver multiple high-definition (HD) video streams over long haul mesh networks at very low packet error rates (PER).

"After months of intensive testing and evaluation, Quantenna's chipset has proven to deliver wire-like performance in very challenging radio environments," said Venkat Kalkunte, president and CEO of SMARTROVE LLC. "By combining SMARTROVE's Layer 3 technologies with the Quantenna chipset, SMARTROVE and GET Security are able to deliver cutting-edge cloud computing and management solutions with enterprise grade security."

Quantenna's family of Full-11n chipsets deliver up to 600 Mbps of bandwidth, enabling four simultaneous video streams throughout a building or home with carrier grade reliability. The chipsets enable SMARTROVE's SR1410 wireless mesh solution to deliver multiple concurrent video streams at 1080p-120, 1080p-60 and 1080i resolution to multiple destinations simultaneously.

"The SMARTROVE wireless network allows multiple applications to maintain service level agreements (SLAs). Unlike conventional WLANs which allow applications to work in best effort class of service, what we currently have deployed is a unique combination of phased array antenna technology working in concert with a multi-spatial stream MIMO traffic controller." said Mr. Kevin Smith, President of GET Security.
