Main Features and Highlights
Range of Frequencies
Available in a range of frequency bands from 4.9 - 5.9 GHz, BreezeNET B130/B300 features several region-specific output power versions and can be configured to support these frequencies from a single platform. A versatile solution, BreezeNET B130/B300 utilizes DFS (Dynamic Frequency Selection) to select license-exempt channels with low occupancy, radar detection and avoidance to comply with FCC/CE regulations.
High-capacity and Spectrum Efficiency
BreezeNET B130/B300 provides enhanced capacity of up to 250 Mbps and 5/10/20/40 MHz optional channel size, maintaining cost-effective spectrum use and reduced interference. Adaptive modulation for monitoring link directions reduces errors in operation and flexible bandwidth allocation enables asymmetric or fully symmetric, fixed or dynamically adjusted allocation.
Long Range
Supporting long-range backhaul reaching more than 60 km, BreezeNET B130/B300 can also reduce roll-out costs by utilizing multiple radios for less power and antenna size to reach remote sites.
Remote Upgrade
BreezeNET B130 can be easily and remotely upgraded to BreezeNET B300, scaling from 130 Mbps to 250 Mbps aggregated throughput for enhanced performance.
Premium Networking Features
Featuring a best-of-breed set of networking features, BreezeNET B130/B300 is designed with an integrated switch/router for reducing network overhead as well as an intelligent Layer 2 and 3 switch and QoS enforcer.
Secure and Reliable
BreezeNET B130/B300 is a reliable solution enabling up to 4 separate signal paths by utilizing diverse, physically separated antennas to minimize downtime during extra-fade periods. A robust solution, it features one-plus-one hot-standby link that seamlessly switches to alternative equipment in case of hardware failure, small footprint antenna and all-outdoor design which ensures operation in all weather conditions.
BreezeNET B130/B300 is designed with enhanced security capabilities including always-on digital and signature-based mutual authentication between link-ends, and out and in-band, secure, password-protected management GUI and SNMP.
Modular and Scalable Architecture
BreezeNET B130/B300 offers integrated or external detachable antennas and easy-to-deploy mounting hardware and form factor. Automatic and manual, fault proof over-the-air firmware upgrade ensures ultimate modularity and scalability.
