The Accel Difference
The “99.9% SLA”
• Accel’s technology enables wireless to perform 99.9% Link Availability
• Link Speeds:
Service Type Download Upload Latency*
4G (LTE) 6 mbps 2 mbps < 150ms
3G (RevA) 750kbps 250 kbps < 250ms
The Technology
• Accel’s proprietary technology differentiators provided through the Cloud is enabled by:
1. The Client = the dual array, multi-directional antenna serves as the remote client
2. Software = iMaestro patented, cloud based software provides 3 key capabilities
Optimization
• dynamic filters monitor the RF link and reduce harmful noise by 99%
• continuously scans and adjusts the critical carrier to noise ratio (C/N).
Visibility
• iMaestro continuously monitors the link via six key metrics in two minute increments
• Patented Accel Link Score combines numerous RF metrics into a single actionable measurement
Control
• The platform serves as an enterprise management tool to view the links and assets across the portfolio
* Latency can occur in portions of the network subsequent to the delivery of the data from the wireless link. Data traffic can be sent from a device at a customer data center or headquarters to a networked device
behind the modem. Therefore, Accel Networks excludes the following areas that are beyond its control: (a) the general Internet portion of the traffic path (Layer 3) or (b) the circuit/link from Accel Network’s core
network to the customer’s Layer 2 network. Accordingly, Accel’s latency calculation is determined by sending traffic from a PC directly connected to the Accel modem to an authorized site as follows:
1. For Layer 3 (or public IP address) sites, traffic will be sent using an Internet browser to www.speedtest.net, which provides latency in milliseconds in addition to download and upload speed.
2. For Layer 2 (or private IP address sites), ping traffic will be sent using a DOS window to an Accel core router.

* A 100 site sample was performed where the speeds for LTE upload, download and latency speeds were captured. The information was stratified by the link score. Latency can occur in portions
of the network subsequent to the delivery of the data from the wireless link. Data traffic can be sent from a device at a customer data center or headquarters to a networked device behind the
modem. Therefore, Accel Networks excludes the following areas that are beyond its control: (a) the general Internet portion of the traffic path (Layer 3) or (b) the circuit/link from Accel Network’s

Notes de l'éditeur
Wireless is receiving the vast majority of carrier capital investments (>$10B-$20B per year from at&t and Verizon)
Speed will get faster (not slower) and price will decline (not increase) in future
For example, LTE-A is being trialed in Chicago with 100 mbps downloads
4G LTE (Long-Term Evolution) plus iMaestro provides following advantages:
Versus T1 = SPEED
Versus Cable
99% COVERAGE
Network UPTIME (or availability) minimum of 99.9%
iMaestro automatically optimizes 8 RF variables (e.g. increase/decrease Gain¹) to provide reliable wireless link.
¹GAIN is a measure of the ability of a circuit (often an amplifier) to increase the power or amplitude of a signal from the input to the output, by adding energy to the signal converted from some power supply. It is usually defined as the mean ratio of the signal output of a system to the signal input of the same system. It is often expressed using the logarithmic decibel (dB) units ("dB gain").
