The Amperion Griffin is a carrier class, outdoor PowerWiFi™ repeater that is an integral component in the Amperion PowerWiFi™ hybrid solution. The PowerWiFi™ hybrid solution is our unique and robust broadband network architecture that blends Broadband over Power Line (BPL) and WiFi to provide
cost-effective broadband access and superior end-to-end QoS for Voice, Video and Data.

Best in class hybrid network
The Amperion Griffin utilizes two BPL modems and up to four WiFi radios to provide a QoS enabled high-speed hybrid backbone network.

High availability
The Amperion solution blends BPL and WiFi on the backbone network with industry standard Wireless Distribution System (WDS) serving as a redundant link to the BPL.

Advanced BPL technology
The Griffin uses the most advanced coupling technology that is patent protected. The Griffin uses software selectable band pass filters that protect the BPL modem interfaces from wideband noise and minimize interference to other frequencies outside the selectable band.

Designed for harsh environments
The Griffin is designed for harsh conditions and has been proven throughout North America, Asia and Europe. With a ruggedized and sealed weatherproof enclosure, the Griffin works tirelessly in tough environments. The Griffin supports an optional Battery Backup Unit (to be ordered separately) for continuing operations during power failures.

Toll quality VoIP
The Griffin uses priority queues and QoS enabled BPL to ensure that the VoIP calls are of the highest quality.

Low CapEx and OpEx
The Griffin is architected to allow easy upgrade of hardware and software using pluggable components. This reduces CapEx costs when upgrading technology. The Griffin is designed for installation on MV lines. For electric utilities, this means that there are no recurring right-of-way costs.

Manageability
The Griffin is easy to manage and provides HTTPS, SNMPv2c, and SSH CLI management. Amperion also offers the Amperion GroundStation™, which is a network management system designed for the Amperion PowerWiFi™ solution.
