BridgeWave GE60 - 60GHz Gigabit Wireless Ethernet Bridge

Bridgewave GE60

Bridgewave wireless manufactures millimeterwave 60GHz and 80GHz full duplexing fixed wireless Ethernet bridge equipment, also known as gigabit wireless bridges. Bridgewave is the leader in gigabit wireless backhaul. They own 80% of the market share. We have been doing wireless installation of the Bridgewave fixed wireless Ethernet bridge radios for over 5 years and have never experienced a single failure or issue.

The 60GHz and 80GHz are limited by distance and require clear line-of-sight, but for true fiber replacement or for providing wireless backhaul for fiber wireless redundancy there is no better system. This is a true low latency, carrier grade, point to point wireless backhaul.


Key Features of 60GHz Wireless Point to Point Ethernet Bridges:

Performance:

  • License-free operation in the U.S. and Canada
  • Highly secure, narrow antenna beamwidths
  • Interference-free operation, enabling high-density deployments
  • Full rate, full duplex, Gigabit or Fast Ethernet
  • AdaptRateTM and AdaptPathTM switching overcomes rain fades
  • Low latency for fiber-equivalent performance
  • Forward Error Correction yields maximum link range

Reliability:

  • Rigorous HALT/HASS testing
  • Up to 99.999% availability; 28-Year MTBF

Ease-of-Use:

  • Connects directly to standard network equipment
  • All-outdoor, compact design
  • Embedded web and SNMP based network management agent
