Chapter 1 Getting to Know Your GateOne

This chapter introduces the main features and applications of the GateOne.

1.1 Introduction to the GateOne 240G

The ZyGATE GateOne 240G is a Wireless Bridge for Inter-building Point to Point Ethernet connection. With
enhanced wireless security feature, GateOne 240G is a Point to Point solution in the world today. By supporting

AES/TKIP/WEP, GateOne 240G is particularly suited for financial banks, businesses and government agencies to

deploy wireless networks for most sensitive data transmission. System privacy is inherent through the MAC & 802.1x
based mutual authentication functionality by preventing unauthorized intrusion to the radio link. GateOne 240G has
been design to minimize the RF cable loss for outdoor application, thus it shows outstanding performance in the
longer communication distance. Supplying the power and Ethernet connectivity concurrently via a single Ethernet
cable, the power over Ethernet (POE) technology makes quick outdoor installation. The optional antenna alignment
kit, showing relative signal strength index (RSSI) and signal to noise ratio (SNR), is uniquely designed to aid easy
antenna alignment while operating in the point to point connection. GateOne 240G achieves rapid return on
investment (ROI) for inter-building connection compared to T1 leased line with high capacity and high data
throughput.
There are some special requirements for the product installation:

1. The GateOne 240G can only be installed by a licensed installer; training and access to technical requirements will
be provided through the user guide and through training done by the business partnership agreements with
respective customers.

2. The installation will be done in a controlled and licensed environment; and filing of the appropriate documentation
as required by local law.

3. Installation requires special training (special programming, access to keypad, field strength measurements made)
by ZyGATE of the installation and maintenance teams of the ZyGATE licensed service providers and operators.

4. ZyGATE licensed service providers will be required to have their installation teams trained to do installation of the
GateOne 240G and antennas on high sited areas in order to meet the performance and regulatory requirements. This
will require professional installation; the installation of the GateOne 240G must be controlled and installed by licensed
professionals. Specially designed antennas and mounting procedures will be required and professional installation
needed to ensure the equipment works reliably and compatibly with the complete ZyGATE infrastructure.

5. An intentional radiator shall be designed to ensure that no antenna other than that furnished by the ZyGATE . or its
customer shall be used with the GateOne 240G . The use of a permanently attached antenna or of an antenna that
uses a unique coupling to the intentional radiator shall be considered sufficient to comply. If the unit becomes broken,
the antenna can be replaced by the user, but the use of a standard antenna jack or electrical connector is prohibited.
Further, this requirement does not apply to intentional radiators that must be professionally installed, such as
perimeter protection systems and some field disturbance sensors, or to other intentional radiators which must be
measured at the installation site. However, the installer shall be responsible for ensuring that the proper antenna is
employed so that the limits in this part are not exceeded.

6. This standard antenna may be used in a point-to-point application, and possibly may require a tower mount and/or
directional antenna. Such use would be applicable in the following uses: data and control signal transmitter located in
oil fields; transmitters mounted on trains and train stations; pole-mounted police and/or emergency vehicles.

7. Permanent attachment of the GateOne 240G can be achieved by various means such as factory application of a
permanent cement or epoxy to a standard antenna connector. The GateOne 240G will specify the certification
application type of adhesive to be used and must confirm that the adhesive will be applied at the factory – prior to
shipment.

8. The installer must ensure that the GateOne 240G and antenna is properly installed so as not to exceed the limits
for which it has been designed.

9. Compliance is required for special waterproofing procedures, insulation against lightening and other weather
conditions.

10. Also requires special mounting brackets for instillation in professional environments.

11. Licensees will be recruited primarily from existing service providers and manufacturers that are already
successful in Internet, paging, or mobile phone service industries.

12. ZyGATE. will provide products and services through service providers, its main sales strategies will be to
empower service providers and to provide on-going service and support to service providers. Service providers will
focus on local markets and offer flexible services to niche markets.

13. Multiple service providers can be started with a relatively low cost of entry. ZyGATE. will

Getting to Know Your GateOne 1-1

GateOne 240G Secure Outdoor Ethernet Radio Link

provide licensing companies already in the service industry (such as Internet, paging, or mobile telephone service
companies), it will be possible to qualify and license service provides in a short space of time.

14. ZyGATE will provide all starter ingredients (such as prototypes) on a discounted basis to Widenet service
providers for smooth transition and integration into existing client bases, authorization, and billing.

15. All equipment will be sold only to ZyGATE qualified network operators that will be purchasing the equipment as a
part of an infrastructure to provide services. The intended use and design of the GateOne 240G is for use by utility
companies, large telecom corporations to build out or compliment their current infrastructure for radio frequency and
telecommunications signaling.

GateOne 240G product types

GateOne 240G is current designed to be configured only for the point-to-point operation mode, one access point (AP)
and one access client (AC) are needed. Point to 2 point feature will be available in the near future. When operated in
the point-to-two-points mode, one AP and two ACs are needed.

1.2 Physical Features of the GateOne 240G

The GateOne 240G is used for long-range wireless outdoor application. GateOne 240G equips with a robust
outdoor weather-proof housing. The key physical features are listed below:

¾ Outdoor-mounted design minimizes RF cable loss connecting to antenna and thus has outstanding

performance in the longer communication distance.

¾ Power over Ethernet (POE) connection & special antenna alignment kit provide fast installation and easy

operation.

1.3 Non-physical Features of the GateOne 240G

.

¾ Full Network Management

Most functions of the GateOne 240G are also software configurable via the WEB interface. The WEB interface
is a software that you can access from a PC through the WEB browser.

¾ Event Logging
