Brovis' products and solutions are the first to deliver wireless broadband in the fast-growing Indian Subcontinent, MEA and key North American markets using an IEEE 802.11 based concurrent band architecture over wider distances than traditional systems in rough and challenging Non-Line-of-Sight (NLOS) indoor and outdoor terrains.

NLOS capabilities allow operators to reach more customers while reducing overall infrastructure costs.
The products will initially operate using both 802.11b/g (2.4 Ghz) and 802.11a (5-5.8 Ghz bands). Advanced wireless technology enables Brovis to offer the industry’s highest available security based on AES (Advanced Encryption Standard), integrated functionality, and complete infrastructure management capabilities like Quality of Service and advanced Subscriber Management. The Broadcell system also includes Turbo technology, an innovative combination of performance-enhancement features (including packet bursting, fast frames), and data compression that provides dramatic improvements in throughput and range
