Depending on the model, these facilities include discussion, voting and/or language distribution. The units (delegates/chairman) are table top units that make a wireless link to a Wireless Conference Access Point called WCAP G3. This Access Point has a powerful built-in web server that allows configuring and monitoring of the system from any PC or mobile device through a standard internet browser. 4.1.2 Standalone system A stand-alone Confidea wireless system offers basic discussion and voting. (Depending on the model). In this case there are no connections to other systems, except for the Confidea WCAP that can be connected to a LAN network for monitoring and configuring. The Confidea access point (WCAP) will in this set-up act as a small central unit, offering all the functionality for a basic discussion application. 4 Confidea wireless system information 4.1 General system architecture 11 5 Wireless network and frequency bands 5.1 Wireless LAN Most of the wireless local area computer networks today are based on the IEEE 802.11 a/b/g standards. These standards were developed by the IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) in order to insure inter-operability between different WLAN vendors. 802.11 Standard Release Date Frequency (GHz) Maximum bit rate (Mbits/sec) Modulation type 1999 54 OFDM 1999 2.4 11 DSSS 2003 2.4 54 OFDM Note: The 2.4GHz and 5GHz frequency bands are license free world wide. However you must be aware of country specific limitations and follow them. 12 The wireless network of the Televic Confidea wireless system is based on the 802.11 a/g standards. Additional protocols have been added on top of the 802.11 a/g standards to provide high robustness against interference from other wireless devices. These additional protocols also ensure a guaranteed quality of service for the audio streams on the wireless network. 5.2.1 Frequency bands The Confidea wireless system supports the following frequency bands ISM 2.4 GHz RLAN low RLAN high ISM 5 GHz 2412 MHz 5180 MHz 5500 MHz 5745 MHz 2417 MHz 5200 MHz 5520 MHz 5765 MHz 2422 MHz 5220 MHz 5540 MHz 5785 MHz 2427 MHz 5240 MHz 5560 MHz 5805 MHz 2432 MHz 5260 MHz 5580 MHz 5825 MHz 2437 MHz 5280 MHz 5600 MHz 2442 MHz 5300 MHz 5620 MHz 2447 MHz 5320 MHz 5640 MHz 2452 MHz 5660 MHz 2457 MHz 5680 MHz 2462 MHz 2467MHz 5700 MHz 5 Wireless network and frequency bands 5.2 Televic Confidea wireless system. 2472 MHz 13 In the 2.4 GHz ISM (Industrial Scientific Medical) band, there are 13 overlapping highfrequency carriers available.
