 Nexus Communications Ltd brings a wealth of telecommunications experience to each work project. On average, industry experience of our engineering staff is 15 years. We have stayed current in the latest wireless technologies, and are well-positioned to help you harness the great potential of 4G. Our goal is to enable you to succeed in your business objectives. Examples of past and current projects are highlighted below. Nexus Communications is supporting a new WISP to plan and deploy a new wireless network covering several thousand square kilometers in North America.Activities include:
WiMAX Network Design Nexus Communications led the RF network design for the Sprint Mobile WiMAX project in Chicago. This network covers several thousand square-miles. The work was a critical part of Sprint’s introduction to Mobile WiMAX as a 4G offering for customers in a metropolitan setting. Activities included:
City-wide Muni-WiFi Network Design Nexus Communications supported a large telecommunications company in rolling out muni-WiFi networks across several US-based markets. Core activities included:
RF Network Design – Public Safety Customer Trial Nexus completed RF coverage design and capacity analyses for a network in the eastern US. The network was designed for a customer trial geared to the public safety user (fire/police). Activities included:
Municipality Wireless Consultation Nexus Communications is working with a North American city to help determine the business case for a wireless network to improve public efficiencies and to raise internet penetration levels within the city to improve its long-term competitiveness. Activities include:
Greenfield Rural WiMAX Nexus Communications is working with a newly licensed North American LEC to provide Broadband service to under-served and non served rural areas. Our professional staff was involved in this project from the inception, including Spectrum License Application and procurement, IP Core and Wireless Broadband Access network design… RF Planning, Backhaul Planning, RFP articulation and distribution, Vendor selection for SoftSwitch and Wireless Infrastructure, and Billing and Network Management integration. Nexus Communications also worked with the local backbone provider for connection to the PSTN. This turnkey end-to-end project will connect rural subscribers to Broadband Internet Services and enable the provision of Voice over IP telephony services. Legacy Proprietary Wireless Local Loop Replacement In South America, Nexus Communications is working with a customer to replace legacy wireless local loop equipment which has been Manufacturer Discontinued. Nexus Communications held a Discovery Meeting with the customer where we listened and learned about the customer’s situation. Together, we determined the scope and opportunity window to de-commission the legacy network elements and deploy a new infrastructure with minimal subscriber discomfort and maximum leverage of all assets to create the best solution In the planning stage we first looked at the wireless technology available, including GSM/CDMA, WiMAX, and Proprietary solutions. Next we determined the Services required by the subscribers – voice, Internet or/and IPTV. Nexus also investigated the available Radio Spectrum and the procedure necessary to approach the PUC if other spectrum was deemed preferable for the services and SLA’s required. Backhaul was considered… We then factored in the Deployment window and Time to Market metrics. The recommended solutions were provided to the customer where Technology, Services, Spectrum, Backhaul and Time to Market were discussed, defended and agreed upon. Next a list of vendors was established, an RFP written, and a Technical Evaluation Criteria agreed upon, including Products, Services, Roadmaps and Sub Contractors… the Business Case was validated… CAPEX/OPEX, ROI, Technical and Commercial Risk Assessment… Contract T’s and C’s… and Total Cost of Ownership per vendor offering… We are currently at the Vendor Selection Stage. In this case, the Executives, Engineers and Marketing specialists at Nexus are working step-in-step with the same levels and departments of our customer. On this project as with all others, our most important goal is to ensure our customer is successful. We are Vendor Neutral, Technology Agnostic and Customer Serving. Automatic Meter Reading (AMR) and Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) Utility companies in Canada and elsewhere are realizing that being able to automatically read an electrical or gas meter while also providing an advanced metering infrastructure not only saves money by eliminating the manual reading of these devices, but also enables the grid to respond in real time to the flux in usage over the served area. The “smart grid” is the endgame, which will benefit the suppliers and consumers of energy resources. The building of a smart grid requires the integration of technologies for Data Acquisition (through a Fixed or Mobile Wireless network) and Data Control and Management (how the data from the meter and the grid is utilized for the best ROI for both the supplier and consumer). A major gain in energy conservation is a benefit of this strategy
