1Introduction
Terragraph Network
Terragraph is a 60GHz, multi-node wireless Software Defined Network (SDN) that
enables high-speed Internet connectivity in multiple environments. The network
operates best in Line-Of-Sight (LOS) conditions to maximize connectivity.
Terragraph is a distribution-level network designed to augment and expand a fiber
optic network. That is, Terragraph is a high-speed backbone network to which
other networks are connected. When combined with fixed access connections or
Wi-Fi access points, Terragraph is a simple and easy-to-install solution to achieve
street-level coverage with high speeds.
A Terragraph network is composed of individual nodes. There are two types of
nodes in a Terragraph network – Distribution Nodes (DNs) such as the MLTG-360,
and Client Nodes (CNs) such as the MLTG-CN. DNs are the backbone of the
Terragraph network that distribute Internet connectivity from one or more fiber
optic Points of Presence (PoPs) over multiple hops to CNs. DNs and CNs are
connection points for client networks, wireless access points, and other customer
premise equipment (CPE) to connect to the Internet.
