The WaveCore consists of point to point bridge with two nodes measuring 10.x1” x 2.7” x 10.3” that are installed one on each side of a concrete wall or floor ceiling.

It operates on PoE (power over ethernet) or a 12V DC input.

Airvine said it tested the product with select customer this year, showing results such as a 3Gbps connection through 8” of concrete in the middle of a 54-foot link and a 4Gbps connection through a 12” concrete wall in a garage that was in the middle of a 6-foot link.

Airvine said WaveCore will “prove useful” for meeting connectivity requirements for fire control rooms.

Such rooms are often located in the basement and surrounded by thick concrete walls. These rooms are mandated to have connectivity to the outside world (to the fire department and perhaps other first responder entities) and today typically use 3G connections.

Unfortunately for building owners, 3G is now being phased out and 5G does not have the signal propagation to penetrate concrete walls and/or ceilings.

Airvine claimed that instead of core drilling to connect the outside world to the fire control system with a cable, a WaveCore link can deliver this connectivity cheaper and faster.

“We have proven with customers for more than a year now that the WaveTunnel provides cost-effective Gigabit-speed connectivity in MDUs, factories, warehouses, conference centres, and other similarly large properties,” said Airvine CEO Vivek Ragavan.

“The WaveCore system surmounts these obstacles and enables us to connect wirelessly any building with any floor plan anywhere.”

The combined WaveTunnel and WaveCore solution is managed by the VineSuite software platform, which facilitates network set-up and operation.
