BridgeWave BW80 80GHz Wireless Link
The BridgeWave’s BW80 link provides an economical solution for users needing gigabit or sub-gigabit connections between buildings, or extensions off of fiber-backbones. The BW80 from BridgeWave allows for granular upgrades in capacity to full-rate gigabit speeds yielding future-proof backbone connectivity.
BridgeWave BW80 80GHz Wireless Link Key Features
- Full rate, full duplex software upgradeable capacity to Gigabit Ethernet
- Interference-free operation enabling high-density deployments
- Low latency for fiber-equivalent performance
