Seven years ago we set out to become the best high speed wireless integrator and Var to Var distributor in the world. I believe we’re on the right track. If you decide to give us a try, let me know how you think we’re doing.

Notes

1. It is very difficult to support increased data rates in the lower frequency (< 50GHz) RF Bands due to the limited spectrum allocations.
2. Ranges for wireless products vary based on geography and required link availability. Ranges are typical, not absolute maximums.
3. Fiber costs are listed per installed-mile. Costs vary widely based on the cost of construction.
4. Very narrow beamwidth 60GHz, E-Band and FSO links are typically even harder to compromise than buried fiber.
5. Very narrow beamwidth 60GHz, E-Band and FSO links produce a "spatial pipe" between ends, preventing interference from other band users.
6. FSO links beyond 100-200 meters are typically unavailable during extended periods of heavy fog.
7. 5.8GHz link availability is limited by outages due to increasing interference levels in major markets where 5.8GHz in being widely deployed.
8. E-Band 70/80/90 GHz products require, in the US, a coordination license that are easy and affordable to procure for point to point solutions.
9. Small form factor for medium distance antennas (10"-12" diameter)
10. Adaptive Rate capability optimized for Gigabit performance is available only with BridgeWave products (AR60 and AR60X)
