Long distance wireless networking

WaveRider's Solectek SkyWay 5101 is a 5.8 GHz frequency band product with rapid data rates for long distance wireless networking. Immunity to common impairments and an extensive bundle of software features combine with data rates up to 72 Mbps to deliver more data capacity per sector than previously. Users can download large data files, high-resolution images, video clips and MP3 files within a matter of seconds. Even streaming multimedia can also be delivered seamlessly.

Other features include orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) technology. Benefits of this include increased spectral efficiency which produces higher data rates while still providing multiple non-overlapping channels. Carriers and ISPs have plenty of capacity for a large number of subscribers with a single base station. OFDM is very immune to multipath problems and resistant to potential interference.

The 5000 series is fully integrated with a link distance of 8 km and includes a powerful combination of multipath-resistant OFDM and high-power radio that allows it to achieve near or non-line-of-sight (NLOS) links. This relaxes the stringent installation requirement associated with 2.4 GHz spread spectrum equipment and improves RF link robustness.
