Ligowave LigoPTP RapidFire 5-23 (Integrated 23 dBi directional panel antenna)
The Ligowave LigoPTP RapidFire 5-23 (Integrated 23 dBi directional panel antenna) delivers an extremely high 140 Mbps (20 MHz channel) throughput via its unique and powerful RF design that supports up to 256QAM modulation and 26 dBi output power. Our proprietary W-Jet V protocol, specifically engineered for high performing PTP scenarios, minimizes interferences even across long distances and stabilizes latency within 2-4 ms.
Ligowave LigoPTP RapidFire 5-23 Key Features
- 2.4 GHz radio - An internal 2.4 GHz radio allows access into the RapidFire GUI by wireless connection with any WIFI equipped device.
- Carrier grade surge protection - RapidFire incorporates integrated surge and ESD protection according to IEC standards and passes Class 4 requirements.
- 2nd ETH port with PoE out - Equipped with two Gigabit Ethernet ports, one with PoE pass-through. The unit is ideal for repeater links and for security video surveillance installations.
- Setup Wizard - Guides the installer through the important steps of the set-up process.
- Single side configuration - Link parameters are automatically applied to slave units once set on the master side.
- Spectrum analyzer - Demonstrates the current noise floor in a waveform and waterfall graphs.
In addition to achieving maximum performance, LigoWave focuses on delivering flexibility and ease-of-use in our RapidFire series. The robust mounting bracket enables rapid deployment of the links and ensures survivability during high wind-load. The integrated antenna possesses a 45° rotation option which increases installation flexibility; especially advantageous in noisy spectrum areas. A GORE membrane vent allows fast pressure equalization of the IP-67 rated cast aluminum enclosure to prevent condensation and to ensure seal performance . A detachable handle eases transporting the devices up towers and over rough terrains. Newly designed RGB LEDs indicate different device statuses and signal levels (in 1dBm steps) when aligning the antenna.
LigoWave RapidFire delivers powerful performance with its new 1.2 GHz CPU dedicated for data processing and high (200,000) packet per second delivery. Equipped with two Gigabit Ethernet ports, one with PoE passthrough, the unit allows for 1+1 (failover) or repeater links and is ideal for high-security video surveillance scenarios. RapidFire incorporates integrated surge and ESD protection according to IEC standards and passes Class 4 requirements
An internal 2.4 GHz radio allows access into the Rapidfire GUI by wireless connection with any WIFI equipped device. This feature expedites the installation of links and alleviates the problem of troubleshooting in difficult-to-reach locations. Tests prove accessibility even when mounted on top of a 10-story building while standing 20 meters (65 ft) away!
The LigoPTP operating system ensures easy and rapid deployment of point-to-point links with stable, fast performance. An intuitive and responsive user interface adjusts the layout based on the size of your screen. Essential tools including Setup Wizard, link test, antenna alignment, spectrum analyzer, and site survey are included to make set-up and troubleshooting more efficient. Automatic mechanisms such as auto-channel and automatic transmit power control optimize the link for maximum performance even in areas with high interference.
