About Alpha Omega Wireless, Inc.
Alpha Omega Wireless, Inc. ("AO Wireless") is a leading integrator of complete end-to-end wireless backhaul networking technology and solutions. Alpha Omega Wireless provides wireless site surveys, feasibility studies, engineering, spectrum analysis, path calculations, design, wireless installation, equipment sales, radio repair and maintenance, support, troubleshooting, and ongoing management & monitoring of point to point wireless links, point to multipoint wireless systems, WiMax backhaul, and wireless mesh. As well as SCADA telemetry radio, wireless video surveillance, and indoor RF. Alpha Omega Wireless works with unlicensed wireless Ethernet bridges and licensed microwave links.

Alpha Omega Wireless is providing carrier grade wireless backhaul at the 2012 SXSW event in Austin Texas. This backhaul is allowing SXSW to provide much needed bandwidth and internet gateway access to its major venues. For this solution Alpha Omega Wireless (“AO Wireless”) is utilizing the FCC's unlicensed wireless 24GHz frequency band for point to point wireless Ethernet bridge solutions. AO Wireless has chosen to use the SAF CFIP Lumina radio platform by SAF Tehnika, an Eastern European manufacture of point to point licensed microwave wireless radio systems.

President Joe Wargo says, "The 24GHz wireless spectrum band is an unlicensed frequency that is heavily underutilized in the United States. Like licensed microwave, a point to point wireless Ethernet bridge in the 24GHz unlicensed wireless band provides carrier grade wireless backhaul. The 24GHz wireless backhaul is ideal for point to point wireless bridges up to 2+ miles. With the SAF Tehnika CFIP Lumnia we can provide carrier / enterprise grade connectivity up to 366Mbps Full Duplex (732Mbps aggregate throughput) in areas where there is a lot of wireless interference. SAF provides the best in breed quality radio systems. When dealing with such a mission critical network we trust only the best microwave radio products available.

The unlicensed wireless 5.8GHz band is becoming heavily saturated and it's becoming difficult to deploy wireless Ethernet bridge links in many areas. Because the 24GHz band is unlicensed we can deploy wireless backhaul links in a day without the need to wait for a FCC license.”

Austin, TX - March 13th, 2012

Alpha Omega Wireless, Inc., headquartered in Austin Texas, was hired for the second year in a row by SXSW to provide wireless Ethernet backhaul and outdoor Wi-Fi to multiple venues around Austin for the 26th Annual SXSW Film, Interactive, and Music Festival.

President Joe Wargo says, "We were excited to be asked by SXSW to return to help them provide critical bandwidth to their major venues and some outdoor Wi-Fi at select special events. SXSW really goes out of their way to make the entire SXSW Festival an amazing event for all who attend. Over the years they have seen a huge increase in demand for internet bandwidth by its participants. Most everyone is carrying an IP enabled wireless device. SXSW just couldn't rely on the carriers to provide the bandwidth that's being demanded.

We were able to deploy carrier grade, full duplex, point to point microwave links to several large venues allowing SXSW to provide bandwidth where they needed it most. For this project we used a combination of high capacity radio systems like SAF 24GHz Lumina radios and 70GHz Siklu radios. The advantage of these wireless frequency platforms was to help avoid interference. Plus they could be deployed immediately under FCC regulations.

This year we also expanded multiple point to multipoint wireless backhaul to concert venues and outdoor event locations. Other major accomplishments this year was providing high speed Wi-Fi, to some high profile, outdoor party events and outdoor meeting events. For the outdoor Wi-Fi applications we used Xirrus Wi-Fi array systems in order to handle the high density of Wi-Fi users and devices.

Austin, TX - March 16th, 2011

Alpha Omega Wireless, Inc. ("AO Wireless") installed a 150Mbps wireless Ethernet Bridge at SXSW that allowed NPR to broadcast world wide a live concert event at the famous Stubb's outdoor venue. The concert event featured bands like, James Blake and the legendary Duran Duran.

President Joe Wargo says, "We were asked just hours before the show to install a wireless backhaul from SXSW's wireless network, which we installed around Austin for the music feastival, to the famous Stubb's venue. Within hours NPR was to braodcast a live stream of the concert on the internet. Appearently, all the major carriers servicing Austin couldn't deliver even with weeks notice. We were able to install a 150Mbps point to point wireless Ethernet bridge within two hours.

Everyone at the event was blown away with the speed of the install and mostly the speed of the uplink we provided. With minutes to spare the wireless backhaul link was handed off to NPR. We felt like we were a NASCAR pit crew more than a wireless integrator.

It was amazing to be able to watch the live event from home later that night. The video and sound was flawless. We were proud to see the fruits of our labor and to see NPR's event turn out so great. "

Alpha Omega Wireless, Inc. announces it will be expanding its product and solutions offerings by partnering with Xirrus, Inc. a world leader in Wi-Fi product solutions. AO Wireless will become a Gold Level Partner with a high level of commitment to the partnership. Xirrus Gold Level Partners have in-depth Wi-Fi knowledge, market expertise, and the ability to provide full customer support. 

President Joe Wargo says, "We are excited to expand our offerings in the indoor wireless network solutions by partnering with Xirrus. We have a long history of providing effective and reliable wireless LAN (Wi-Fi) networks. Xirrus is an industry leader in the Wi-Fi market space and is by far the most innovative. We have evaluated all the major Wi-Fi systems in the market today and believe Xirrus is far ahead of the curve in technology and quality. Many of the major Wi-Fi players offer the same thing, only with just a few unique proprietary differences. None of them are doing anything revolutionary. Xirrus has revolutionized the Wi-Fi industry and has future proofed their platform. After spending time at their facility it is apparent they have an amazing product. One that I would be proud to say it’s the only solution I would consider for my own network.

Xirrus has figured out how to deal with the high density use of Wi-Fi we are experiencing. As we move forward we are seeing more and more mobile devices being used in the network environment. Laptops, smart phones, tablets, VoIP phones, etc. Years past it was all about coverage with Wi-Fi. Now it’s all about density coverage. Other standard controller based systems can create good coverage in an environment with a few client devices, but when you have high density usage they fall short on performance. Xirrus has solved that issue and by far outperforms ever other system out there.”

May 30, 2010, Sacramento, CA - Alpha Omega Wireless, Inc.

Alpha Omega Wireless, Inc. announces it will be expanding its operations in Texas. Currently, Alpha Omega Wireless operates out of its headquarters in Sacramento, CA and provides a service coverage area of the state of California and Nevada. By the end of June 2010 Alpha Omega Wireless will be operational in Texas and will have an office based in Austin. 

President Joe Wargo says, "We are excited to expand our operations of providing outdoor wireless backhaul solutions in the state of Texas. We have chosen to base our office of operations in Austin. Our primary focus will be to service the southern part of Texas. Austin is a great area for technology companies like ours and will allow us to service the Austin, San Antonio, Houston metro areas and areas in between.

Texas makes great sense for our  company to expand to. We have been asked by many of our manufacturing partners to provide wireless installation and support services in this area. Texas has a huge demand for wireless backhaul like point to point wireless, point to multipoint wireless Ethernet bridges, and wireless mesh. There are a lot of two-way radio and SCADA integrators in the area but not any companies that offer the full outdoor wireless integration for broadband wireless networks like offered by AO Wireless."
