Flex4G-10000 – 80GHz Wireless Backhaul System Delivering 9.7Gbps Capacity

As mobile data consumption increases exponentially, operators are looking for a backhaul solution that provides flexibility and easy scalability to meet tomorrow’s bandwidth demands. The BridgeWave Flex4G-10000, which supports backhaul capacity of up to 9.7 Gbps per radio, meets this demand. The radio operates in bandwidths up to 2000MHz and modulation of 128QAM to achieve its highest capacity while maintaining the highest system gain. The radio also operates at 256QAM in lower bandwidths to maximize capacity when spectrum is scarce. The Flex4G-10000 has been designed to alleviate the strain of backhaul connections by combining advanced radio and modem capabilities with carrier-grade 10G Ethernet, CPRI, and SONET/SDH features at the lowest total cost of ownership.

Carrier Ethernet services are provided through the use of an integrated low-latency switch supporting jumbo frames and advanced Ethernet functionality including Quality of Service (QoS), VLAN support, Provider Bridge (Q-in-Q), and Ethernet OAM management. The Flex4G-10000 provides the comprehensive timing support required for 5G/4G/LTE deployments including Synchronous Ethernet and IEEE1588v2 with hardware-based time stamping for one-step or two-step clocks.

With low power consumption and PoE along with direct DC power, the Flex4G-10000 provides all of its capabilities in an environmentally friendly, compact and lightweight, zero-footprint all-outdoor solution.

The Flex4G-10000 leverages BridgeWave’s expertise in providing high reliability gigabit millimeter wave wireless solutions. BridgeWave has delivered tens of thousands of gigabit millimeter wave radios worldwide.
