Gigabit Wireless Ethernet Link

The gigabit links offer fibre-like speed and reliability with wireless technology.  Operating in the 71-86 GHz millimeter-wave band they are light licensed in the UK.  They supports data rates from 1,250 Mbps to 1,536 Mbps in full duplex mode. Like most high frequency radio transmission systems, millimeter wave systems require line-of-sight. These links enable lower cost & higher reliability IP backhaul network architectures such as Ring & Mesh.

• 1.25 Gbps (GigE) for IP networks
• Point-to-point  line-of-sight  technology
• Reaches up to 5 miles distance
• Operating in the spectrum allocation covering 71-86 GHz
• Fiber equivalent interfaces and bandwidth
• Same cost as hi-cap microwave radio, but 5x-10x higher bandwidth
• Carrier grade, designed to meet carrier needs for reliability:

  –Fiber-equivalent carrier-grade interfaces including GigE, 1.5 Gbps OBSAI, 1.23 Gbps CPRI, 3 Gbps (coming up)

  –Ultra -Low latency (<5µs)

  –Standard carrier-grade power supply at -48 VDC

  –Optical  or Copper Interface for tributary

  –Simple installation and alignment

  –Craft Interface software based on HTML

  –Remote element management using SNMPv1

  –Direct slip-fit Antenna connection

  –Supports various  wireless networking architectures:
