Kuhnt CBS 2600 mobile compact with dual-WAN LTE
No longer available!
All high class ChannelBonding or LoadBalancing functions condensed into a solid handy unit. Fast and stable internet – wherever you are *, whether stationary or mobile (e.g. Command unit, Outside broadcasting van, coach or cruise ship). The system you have been waiting for. Providing broadband Internet access as a service is a step in the future and where no lines can lead, mobile facilities must make this possible. – As a service for customers and employees.

Why using a CBS2600 moble compact?
It is always nice if a free internet access is available. Like at home, in the office, at the airport, in a hotel or café, etc. This saves your personal data volume. It becomes more challenging as soon as one is “on the move” – Here, a classic “hotspot” is usually not available and thus special technology is required, which meets the ever-changing conditions.
The CBS2600 mobile compact is such a piece of this technology. To do this, we combine the transmission speeds of dual-WAN LTE radio channels into one data stream. The device splits the pending traffic with optimal use of the available networks or changes the network if a provider is currently not available. Depending on the application focus either channel bonding or load balancing technology is used.
The performance of the radio channels is continuously checked by the CBS 2600 mobile compact and taken into account in the managment of the data stream. In case of e.g. the Internet speed of a network operator is too bad, it totally fails at a location or no data quota is available anymore, it is detected by the algorithm and adjusted accordingly or switched to an alternative SIM card.
The whole technique of the CBS 2600 mobile compact is built on microcontroller technology. There are no moving parts, such as a fan in the device. A wide range operating voltage of 10-30 volts, makes the device fully suitable for automotive applications. Appropriate protective mechanisms for vehicle operation are integrated. The CSB2600 can supply passiv PoE supporting routers and WLAN access point over LAN.
The CBS 2600 mobile compact has two antenna ports and supports antenna diversity such as MiMo.

ChannelBonding or LoadBalancing? A briefly comparison of features
| ChannelBonding: | LoadBalancing: |
 | |
| Stationary Server required | No Server required. |
| Increased data protection, because across every single mobile-channel, only a fraction of each data stream is transmitted. The Server can control the internet connections from and to the mobile site. All documentation of the internet traffic and routings can be recorded. | Documentation of the internet traffic on the mobile site necessary . |
| If individual channels fail, the load is taken over seamlessly by other channels, no user-link will be interrupted | If individual channels fail, user-links will interrupt. A stream, download or page impressions must be initiated again, partially this is done automatically by the browser or the Android- /iOS application |
| Uniform load distribution, even at load peaks on individual connections | For one stream (TCP and UDP) the maximum transmission rate of ione umts-radio channel is possible at most |
| A user is online with one fixed IP-address always, even in cross-border traffic. During the crossing the internet access will be uninterrupted, unless the supply is given by at least one network operator | A user is with different IP-addresses online |
| For the channel-management between mobile and stationary side, there is a traffic of 2 MB per channel and day. Nevertheless, the number of active channels is constantly adjusted to the data volume that is actually requested by the user. | No Overhead and no data traffic for the channel-management. |
| Minimum hardware used on mobile side, reduces possible maintenance work to a minimum. | Minimal hardware used on the mobile side, reduces possible maintenance work to a minimum. |
| By high traffic from the internet a jam caused by the bottleneck of the mobile-channel. The network provider buffers a limited amount of data (partly only 100 packets). The proxy absorbs this bottleneck.. |
Trivia
For both variants it takes effect that UMTS-networks always are shared media. With the result that all participants share the available bandwidth, thus more channels are used in a network the more do compete with each other. Empiric tests have shown that this has greatly impact on an operator when three or more channels are used.
Our intention with the CBS 2600 mobile compact is the creation of a preferable comprehensive (including country areas), stabl and fast internet supply.
