Wi-LAN’s patented wireless VINE technology is a new networking technology that overcomes the non line-of-sight obstacles and minimizes initial up-front costs of developing networks. VINE technology focuses on overcoming the LOS issues imposed by challenging terrain topography.

VINE technology gives you total freedom with your network. As your network grows, any node can be promoted to become a repeater; the only requirement for a new node to get attached is to have RF connectivity to any node already in the network - a deployment strategy called anypoint-to-multipoint, since any node already in the network can become the centre of a point-to-multipoint branch. Hard to reach locations that are obstructed can easily be reached once the VINE spreads into that neighbourhood.

Total bandwidth can be shared fairly between all the active radios in your VINE network, but if your network demands allocation of bandwidth, the VINE protocol supports different levels of Quality Of Service (QOS) assigned to individual radios. The network manager may assign different Committed Information Rates (CIR) and Maximum Burst Rates (MBR) for each radio, separately for the inbound and outbound directions. This allows an ISP to provide different service plans charged at different rates. However, if the radio is not active, the committed bandwidth is not wasted, it is shared among all the other active radios.
