LightPointe has announced that its new AireLink Series of 60 GHz radios has passed all necessary regulatory approvals for deployment worldwide and has begun shipping internationally. The AireLink Series provides longer distances than competing radios, mainly due to the availability of three unique antenna options with up to 47 dBi gain and industry leading transmission power up to +55 dBm, the maximum power level allowed in several countries such as Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and England. The AireLink Series operates in the 59 GHz to 63 GHz frequency range and is fully compliant with North American FCC and European ETSI regulatory requirements.
LightPointe is the only manufacturer which provides customers with a choice of all three leading point-to-point wireless bridge technologies: Millimeter wave, Free Space Optics, and Hybrid RF-Laser bridges, which the company invented and holds patents on. Demand for wireless bridges has skyrocketed due to organizations wanting to own their networks and connect buildings without monthly fees—and avoid exposing their data to public networks such as cable and fiber. A point to point wireless connection can provide extremely secure transmission and avoid eavesdropping and cybersecurity risks.
AireLink radios can be deployed in applications which previously required expensive leased fiber lines, or required costly backhaul radios in the licensed frequencies. AireLink radios also include the broadest selection of modulation schemes, low latency, and full duplex Gigabit capacity. All three 60 GHz models share a common chassis, which provides economies of scale and efficiencies.
