A telecom operator serving rural communities faced serious limitations in expanding internet services. Their legacy wireless infrastructure couldn’t handle growing bandwidth demands or interference from competing signals. This led to network congestion, limited coverage, and frequent complaints from users in remote areas.

ALFA TECH’s Solution
ALFA TECH implemented the Rocket Prism 5AC Gen 2 (RP-5AC-Gen2) to build a high-capacity, scalable Point-to-MultiPoint (PTMP) network. This advanced 5 GHz airMAX ac base station offered:

Carrier-Class PTMP Connectivity – Ideal for distributing internet across dispersed rural zones.

GPS Synchronization – Reduced self-interference, improving overall network throughput.

airPrism Technology – Isolated signals and minimized noise for better spectrum efficiency.

Plug-and-Play Integration – Compatible with a wide range of sector, omni, and dish antennas.

Remote Management – Easily monitored and configured via airOS and airView.

The deployment enabled the operator to reliably serve more subscribers without overhauling the entire infrastructure.

Customer Satisfaction
Post-deployment metrics showed:

50% increase in network coverage using high-gain compatible antennas.

Reduced latency and jitter, improving VoIP and streaming experiences.

30% more subscriber connections per base station with consistent performance.

Lower maintenance costs due to simplified remote diagnostics and management tools.

Rocket Prism 5AC Gen 2 empowered the provider to meet rising rural bandwidth needs efficiently and affordably.
