Wireless Networking and Power Supply Solution for Outdoor Scenarios such as Islands and Mountainous Areas
China has a vast territory with a wide variety of landforms and terrains. Among them, islands, mountainous areas, forests, grasslands and desert regions face problems of vast expanse with sparse population, remote locations and even inaccessibility, making the construction of communication infrastructure extremely challenging.If traditional optical cable laying methods are adopted, the investment in these areas may be several times or even hundreds of times that in urban areas, while the returns are far less than a fraction of those in cities. Blind investment in such projects may not be recouped even in a century.
With the accelerated pace of China’s new rural development and poverty alleviation, what constitutes the most suitable networking solution for network coverage as a key infrastructure? And how to supply power for the construction of intelligent systems?
Network access and coverage in mountainous areas, deserts and islands all face two major construction challenges:
1. Difficulty in Power Supply
Whether on islands, in mountainous areas or deserts, the foremost challenge for information network construction is the difficulty in power access, or even a complete lack of power supply. Without basic power support, no high-tech systems can be deployed at all.Constructing new power cables requires huge investment, and the cables are prone to theft and damage over time. A single cable break will disable a string of nodes, making it impossible to guarantee 24/7 reliable operation.
2. Difficulty in Construction
Due to their remote locations, the construction of information engineering projects is far more difficult than in urban areas.Laying wired optical fibers requires crossing mountains and rivers, and the scattered distribution of network points results in extremely difficult wiring construction, long construction cycles and excessive total investment.In addition, wiring is completely unfeasible in some areas due to economic factors (e.g., islands). Wireless networking is therefore the most suitable solution, and only a highly reliable, ultra-stable and ultra-long-distance wireless private network system can meet the networking demands of such scenarios.

Drawing on years of project experience in mountain and marine deployment, Guoxin Longxin is able to address the above challenges for users based on their specific requirements:
I. The Ultimate Solution to Networking Challenges
For networking in islands, mountainous areas and deserts, the cost of wireless networking is often only a fraction, or even a tiny fraction, of that of wired optical cable deployment. However, ordinary wireless devices cannot meet the operational demands of such harsh environments, primarily manifested in insufficient communication distance, inadequate link bandwidth, unreliable quality and stability, and lack of support for essential networking features. The most typical ordinary wireless devices here refer to IP microwave and wireless bridges, which suffer from the above common drawbacks.
Networking in island and alpine regions involves extremely difficult wiring; submarine optical cables are not only extremely costly but also vulnerable to damage, making wireless transmission the mainstream solution. In desert regions with vast expanse and sparse population, optical cable investment would be highly wasteful. Where base stations are available, wireless transmission is also the primary method for distributed terminal access.
Island and alpine regions are often characterized by harsh environments (wide temperature fluctuations, thunderstorms, ice and snow, etc.) and poor transportation access. Substandard product performance and quality will lead to frequent malfunctions, disrupting normal system operation and causing a sharp surge in subsequent operation and maintenance costs. Therefore, a dedicated, reliable and stable wireless system must be selected.
Wireless bridges based on WiFi technology are inferior to professional wireless systems in all critical performance metrics, including communication distance, bandwidth stability, multi-service bearing capacity, as well as product quality and reliability. These are the key reasons why numerous industry users choose Guoxin Longxin’s iMAX Wireless Metropolitan Area Network (WMAN) system or FibeAIR high-frequency IP microwave system.
What are the features of Guoxin Longxin’s iMAX WMAN system?
The iMAX wireless communication system is a private network solution that enables independent networking without relying on typical carrier infrastructure.

The iMAX WMAN system can be integrated with metropolitan backbone networks, and fully supports the hybrid transmission of multiple media types including data, video and voice. Rich network features—RSTP, VLAN, VPN, QoS, software firewall and dynamic routing protocols—ensure multi-network convergence for diverse user services. Its broadband and high-bandwidth performance guarantees the capacity to bear high-bandwidth services, especially video services (security surveillance, video conferencing, etc.).
Taking the construction of an island wireless metropolitan area network as an example, the typical application topology diagram of the iMAX WMAN is as follows:

It is important to highlight that the design of the iMAX Wireless Metropolitan Area Network solution is critical to the success of the system. Benefiting from over 20 years of technological accumulation and extensive project experience, Guoxin Longxin can provide tailor-made customized designs for government and enterprise clients based on their actual conditions, requirements and investment budgets.
II. The Ultimate Solution to Power Supply Challenges
Power supply is an extremely challenging task for networking in islands, mountainous areas and deserts, as well as for constructing IT facilities such as monitoring points and information collection points. Wired power supply is not only costly but also poses potential safety risks, and is unsuitable for most locations except a few specific sites. Therefore, the optimal power supply solution for such scenarios is Guoxin Longxin’s iPower2000 new energy power supply system, which adopts eco-friendly solar power to meet power needs.
The iPower2000 lithium solar power supply system is a highly integrated off-grid power supply system, easy to apply in outdoor environments such as islands, mountainous areas, forests, scenic spots and water conservancy projects. It aligns with the green and eco-friendly construction philosophy, and solves the power supply problems of decentralized devices in outdoor settings including wireless network systems, video monitoring points and IP sensors. Featuring a simple structure, compact size, light weight and long service life, the safety of its lithium iron phosphate battery cells is unmatched by other lithium batteries, making it an ideal choice for long-term power supply in the construction of outdoor IT systems.
Taking the typical lithium solar power supply demand for video surveillance + wireless interconnection as an example, the typical application topology diagram of the iPower2000 lithium solar power supply system is as follows:

It is important to emphasize that islands, mountainous areas and deserts are vast, sparsely populated and inconvenient for maintenance, so the selected products must be of high quality – and this is precisely the greatest advantage of the iMAX Wireless Metropolitan Area Network (WMAN) private network system and the iPower2000 lithium solar power supply system.
Guoxin Longxin’s capability in the integrated design of networking and power supply enables industry clients to overcome distance barriers in outdoor environments such as islands, high mountains, deserts, grasslands and forests, and step into the “Internet +” era.
