BridgeWave’s radios use a frequency range called “millimeter wave” which has been used for military applications for years. The characteristics of the 60 GHz and 80 GHz bands make them ideal for providing fiber-performance, highly-secure Gigabit Ethernet connections without being limited by fog like free space optics. With the ultra-low latency performance of the Bridgewave solutions your network users and applications will not be able to detect a difference between a BridgeWave link and a fiber optic connection.
BridgeWave has made significant advancements in technology that make their solutions lead the industry in range, performance, and availability. Here are some features that make BridgeWave’s offering unique:
AdaptRate™ Technology increases overall range and availability by switching from Gigabit Ethernet (1.25 Gbps) to Fast Ethernet (100 Mbps) during periods of intense rainfall that cause the radio signal to be attenuated. By doing this the radio effectively “downshifts” to overcome the rain event rather than going into a link down state. Once the intense rain has passed (often minutes or seconds per year) the radio automatically returns to Gigabit Ethernet mode.
AES Encryption is now an available option on all AdaptRate™ model radios. Instead of using an appliance to encrypt your traffic, this powerful option uses 256-bit AES Encryption to protect your data. That’s military-grade security.
Extended Range models have a larger antenna that increases the range and availability of your link. Combined with AdaptRate™ technology you get the longest-range and most highly available links possible.
Add /Drop support means that the secondary 10/100 TX port on each radio can be used to “drop” a 100 Mbps network connection into a location. This is especially useful when putting more than one Bridgewave link back-to-back to connect multiple facilities or to “hop” around obstructions.
