FLEX4G-5000 ANSI – 80GHz Wireless Backhaul System Delivering 5.35 Gbps Capacity

As mobile data consumption increases exponentially, operators are looking for a backhaul solution that provides the lowest Total Cost of Ownership with the flexibility to easily scale to meet tomorrow’s bandwidth demands. BridgeWave’s Flex4G-5000 with support for backhaul capacity of up to 5.35 Gbps per radio. Flex4G-5000 ANSI operates in modulations to 64QAM to provide the highest system gain for an ultra-high capacity millimeter wave radio. Flex4G-5000 ANSI 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.

BridgeWave’s highly integrated RF and spectrally efficient signal processing techniques provide for the longest link distances, while maintaining multi-gigabit speeds in narrow channel bandwidths. Further enabling future-proof transport, Flex4G-5000 allows operators to flexibly provision links across multiple network topologies including mixing Ethernet, CPRI, and SONET/SDH traffic.

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), Radio Link Aggregation (RLA) and Ethernet OAM management. Flex4G-5000 provides comprehensive timing support required for 4G/LTE deployments including Synchronous Ethernet and IEEE1588v2 with hardware-based timestamping for one-step or twostep clocks.

With low power consumption and PoE power along with direct DC power, Flex4G-5000 provides all of the above in an environmentally friendly, compact and lightweight, zero-footprint all-outdoor solution. Flex4G-5000 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.
