Scalable Infrastructure Solutions

FTS has system solutions for all ranges of broadband infrastructure sizes from small infrastructures with as few as 6 networks to very large infrastructures consisting of thousands of networks.  A key feature of all FTS broadband infrastructures is their ability to grow to a large scale as the number of networks grow.

FTS System Elements

	GUE:  The backbone of the FTS infrastructure solution.  The GUE sustains high-bandwidth connections between wireless point-to-point sites.  The GUE provides the speed, reliability and redundancy that makes the VOWS superior performance possible.  In communicates only with corresponding GUEs.  GUEs serve as the central elements of a broadband infrastructure deployment and are often located at Points-of-Presence (PoPs) and interconnected with STEs.
	FUE:  The FUE is typically located at a PoP site that is also multi-tenant building.  It allows for the bandwidth to be redistributed to multiple networks at a single location.
	STE:  A point-to-multipoint outdoor wireless radio/router that serves as the transmit node to user networks.  It is the main element of a POP site, communicating with CUEs located at customer premises and small, multi-tenant buildings.
	CUE:  An outdoor wireless client network radio gateway with routing and quality of service (QoS) features and capabilities.  The CUE filters out the unnecessary client network packets from the main network to optimize network efficiency.  The CUE communicates with a STE.
	CUE II:  The CUE II combines the features of an FUE and CUE.  It operates as a wireless gateway with routing and QoS featrues and capabilities.  It communicates with an STE.
	POE:  The POE allows VOWS devices to be powered via their Ethernet cables.
