GE80 links consist of a pair of fully-integrated outdoor radios that connect directly to the end-user's GigE switches or routers. The radios are mast-mounted, and are easy to install and maintain. To deploy and operate the systems, simply connect a pair of fibers and a pair of low-voltage power wires, aim the radios to point at one another, and perform a few simple steps to configure the built-in web browser-based network management system.
BridgeWave's GE80 and AR80 E-Band Gigabit Ethernet wireless links are the most affordable E-Band (71-86 GHz) products, providing highly-available wireless connections at full GigE data rates. These point-to-point links transmit and receive simultaneously at full-rate GigE speeds (1.25Gbps) with very low latency, providing the performance of physical fiber over a highly-secure wireless connection. The radios feature small form-factor and easy to install and align one-foot antennas. Combined with the E-Band's quick and simply lightweight licensing program, you can get a license and install a link the same day.
Enterprise customers use BridgeWave E-Band links to extend their LAN backbones between nearby buildings, or to connect their buildings over longer distances via metro fiber backbones. By extending LAN backbones between buildings, users can centralize servers to save IT costs and simplify administration, or distribute servers between buildings to provide for rapid disaster recovery.
Network operators use BridgeWave E-Band links to provide private network services to enterprise customers or to implement "virtual fiber" distribution networks to deliver broadband services to residential or business users. GE80 links naturally combine with fiber optic cabling to create highly cost-effective hybrid fiber-wireless networks, where each technology is best suited.
