Bridgewave FlexPort µWave Backhaul

18 GHz and 23 GHz Full­Rate Gigabit Capacity Wireless Links

ULTRA­HIGH CAPACITY WIRELESS LINKS FOR HIGH BANDWIDTH APPLICATIONS

The FlexPort® family of high capacity millimeter wave radios offers carriers, service providers, government and enterprise users the ultimate flexibility in an access and aggregation/backhaul solution for today’s networks.

The FP18 and FP23 microwave radio systems have been designed specifically to meet the requirements of operators, carriers, and service providers requiring full­rate gigabit connectivity in a single, compact, all­outdoor enclosure. FP18 and FP23 accomplish this through an innovative approach in aggregating multiple RF channels without the need for additional hardware as with other lower licensed frequency band products. This helps ease installation and maintenance costs on the network by offering only one device to install and manage, providing the user with a highly­reliable, fully integrated backhaul solution.

FlexPort µWave

BridgeWave is the market leader in providing highly reliable high capacity wireless solutions for next generation 4G networks. The FlexPort family of products leverages our expertise in designing and bringing to market carrier­class millimeter wave and microwave solutions that have been accepted and used in thousands of
installations worldwide.
