BridgeWave Communications
BridgeWave Communications uses proprietary
technology in the license-exempt 60 GHz and licensed 80 GHz band
to delivery high bandwidth (Up to 1 Gbps Full Duplex) and low latency applications
such as data and VoIP with the same speed, reliability and security as
fiber-optic cables at only a fraction of the cost and deployment
time. The use of extremely high frequency bands allows
information transferred by BridgeWave's radios to avoid the
traffic in lower, more congested bands such as 2.4 and 5 GHz
resulting in very low levels of interference.
60+ GHz Band
License-exempt 60 GHz radios have unique
characteristics that make them significantly different from
traditional 2.4 or 5 GHz license-free radios. These
characteristics gives 60 GHz radios the following operational
advantages.
- License-Free Spectrum:
The FCC has
allocated 7 GHz of spectrum for license-exempt operation
between 57-64 GHz. This compares to less the 0.5 GHz
of spectrum allocated between 2-6 GHz for WiFi and other
license-exempt applications. This unprecedented amount
of spectrum makes it possible to deliver multi-gigabit RF
links.
- Narrow Beam Antennas:
The very narrow beamwidth associated with 60 GHz antennas
enables multiple 60 GHz radios to be installed on the same
rooftop or mast, even if they are all operating at the same
transmit and receive frequencies. Co-located radios
operating in the same transmit and receive frequency ranges
can easily be isolated from one another based on small
lateral or angular separations and the use of
cross-polarized antennas.
- Easy to Install and Align:
Compared to free space optical systems, the beamwidth of 60
GHz systems are much wider and easier to align.
Additionally systems are not affected by building sway from
wind nor tilt from sun heating.
- Oxygen Absorption and Security:
Oxygen attenuates 60 GHz signals, a property that is unique
to the 60 GHz band. While this limits the distances
that 60 GHz links can cover, it also offers interference and
security advantages when compared to other wireless
technologies. Small beam sizes coupled with oxygen
absorption makes these links highly immune to interference
from other 60 GHz radios. Another link in the
immediate vicinity will not interfere if its path is just
slightly different from that of the first link, while oxygen
absorption ensures that the signal does not extend far
beyond the intended target, even with radios along the exact
same trajectory.
