Point-to-Point licensed solutions enable connectivity in challenging
conditions
WASHINGTON, April 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- (FOSE, Booth #2115)
Motorola, Inc. (NYSE: MOT) today announced it has expanded its portfolio of
MOTOwi4(TM) Fixed Point-to-Point (PTP) Wireless Ethernet Bridges to include
the PTP 45600 Integrated and Connectorized models. The systems provide U.S.
Federal Government agencies and North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO)
license holders in the 4.5 GHz band with the bandwidth, performance and
reliability they need to support communications in difficult
radio-frequency (RF) environments and geographies.
As a rebanded model within the PTP 600 Series family of solutions, the
PTP 45600 utilizes the same proven technology that has earned Motorola the
number one market share in the unlicensed point-to-point global
marketplace. With higher system gain, carrier-class reliability and better
spectral efficiency than comparable systems, the PTP 45600 bridges enable
U.S. Federal and NATO agencies to establish reliable communications at
greater distances, under extreme weather conditions and in harsh RF
environments.
"From battlefield communications to border security and video
surveillance, Federal and NATO agencies must establish communications in
some of the most extreme environments," said Phil Bolt, senior director,
Motorola Wireless Broadband Engineering and Product Management. "The PTP
45600 provides a reliable, secure, carrier-class and high performance
solution to address the mission critical nature of their operations."
The portable packaging of the wireless bridges make them an excellent
tactical solution where there is little time to deploy and tear down a
temporary communications network. For longer-term and permanent fixed
deployments, the Connectorized model can be configured with external
antennas to enable connections up to 124 miles (200 km) in adverse
environments, including deep non-line-of-sight and long-range
line-of-sight.
The PTP 45600 provides up to 99.999% broadband wireless reliability in
very challenging environments, such as traversing miles of obstructed
landscapes, crossing large bodies of water or desert terrain, or spanning
long-distance line-of-sight paths. The wireless Ethernet bridges also
support building-to-building and campus connectivity.
The electronic components of the PTP 45600 models are encased in a
robust outdoor enclosure that can withstand temperatures from -40 degrees F
to +140 degrees F (-40 degrees C to +60 degrees C) and winds up to 202 mph
(325 kph). The small-footprint, lightweight units are fast and easy to
install, requiring no special expertise or training. Additionally, the PTP
45600 Integrated and Connectorized models offer selectable channel widths
and varying data rates up to 300 Mbps, so operators have the flexibility to
configure the system to meet their specific needs.
The PTP 45600 solution is a component of the wi4 Fixed family of
broadband solutions, part of the MOTOwi4 portfolio of solutions for public
and private networks. The PTP 45600 offers 4.5 GHz licensed capabilities
and provides seamless integration with wireless networks that include
Motorola's 5.4 and 5.8 GHz Fixed Point-to-Point Wireless Ethernet Bridges
as well as other MOTOwi4 solutions including wi4 Fixed PMP, wi4 WIMAX, wi4
Mesh and wi4 Indoor.
The Motorola PTP 45600 Integrated and Connectorized models will be on
display at Booth #2115 at the FOSE Conference and Exposition April 1-3 at
the Washington Convention Center. For more information on the PTP 45600,
