Ligowave LigoPTP 5-N MIMO UNITY 5 GHz Integrated Connectorized Point-to-Point Backhaul Device
The Ligowave LigoPTP 5-23/5-N MIMO showcases an array of advanced software mechanisms that provide optimal point-to-point connectivity for high-throughput, long distance links.
LigoWave’s proprietary PTP mechanisms utilize techniques such as Dynamic Time Division Duplexing (TDD) to dynamically allocate bandwidth in the direction needed, thus increasing link efficiency and greatly decreasing the impact that distance has on throughput of the link.
The LigoWave point-to-point products also feature selective repeat ARQ technology, an enhanced error-correction software mechanism that optimizes data traffic to provide very high throughput over high-bandwidth, long-range links even in the presence of interference.
The LigoPTP 5-23/5-N MIMO is also compatible with LigoWave online link calculator and RCMS, a centralized configuration, firmware, and statistics server offered by LigoWave for carrier class diagnostic and configuration.

Product Overview
LigoWave unleashes its highest capacity, license-free PTP device with the release of the LIGOPTP 5 MIMO series product line. Making use of ground breaking 2x2 MIMO technology, the LigoPTP 5-23/5-N MIMO delivers aggregate TCP throughput capability of up to 180 Mbps (90 Mbps full-duplex) combined with high packets-per-second performance.
This product enables carrier-class point-to-point capability, ideal for dedicated access or backhaul applications (including VOIP or other small packet applications). The LigoWave PTP product family couples flexible channel width capability (20 or 40 MHz) and industry-leading proprietary software mechanisms to set the utmost standard in spectral efficiency. The LigoPTP 5-23/5-N MIMO product features an integrated dual-polarized antenna (or 2 N-type connectors for the 5-N product) and is housed in a rugged, cast aluminum enclosure.
Combining digital signal processing, dual polarization antennas and proprietary W-Jet protocol these bridges have a high spectral efficiency of 7.5bit/Hz.

W-jet is Ligowave‘s proprietary wireless protocol that combines special techniques to achieve great performance and reliability even over long distances. The W-jet protocol is the result of years of development and gives Ligowave PTP products the ability to outperform other products on the market while simultaneously optimizing ROI for the customer.
Main applications
LigoWave‘s link calculator is a link planning tool available online at http://www.ligowave.com/linkcalc/. The link calculator allows LigoPTP users to calculate link performance expectations taking into account geographical information, distance between the units, antenna height and gain, transmit power, and other factors in order to choose the most suitable product available from Ligowave‘s extensive product portfolio.
In addtion, custom calculations using other vendors‘ equipment specs can be used, making the Ligowave link calculator the ultimate link planning tool. At the same time, this tool is offered free of charge, and users only need to register to get quick and easy access to this very helpful tool. On top of that, each user is able to save and create a database of links, download a PDF document that contains all the necessary information about the link, and publish a hyperlink online so that it could be shown to other people during the evaluation process.
Summary
- Easy and quick planning
- Free online application and can be used with all wireless equipment
- Has integration with Google maps
- Allows storing, downloading and publishing data about the links online.
- PDF results can even be used by installation teams!
