SilverNet, a wireless network product company, has added a 2Gbps Backhaul link to its range. A Backhaul link is typically deployed for wireless transmission of multiple channels of high volume video to a single place. It negates the need to use costly fibre networks or leased lines and provides dedicated bandwidth which does not get shared with other users. The SilverNet Backhaul is an IP network based radio link operating in the 80GHz E-band spectrum and offers what the makers term a rugged outdoor radio link for transmission up to 5 Kilometres.
The Backhaul link, which is “Light Licensed” in the UK, requiring only a £50 annual Ofcom fee, has an operating range of up to 5km and is available with full Duplex throughput up to 2Gbps. Chris Ballard, Managing Director of SilverNet, said: “This is an ideal solution for aggregating a number of SilverNet 5GHz radio links to a single point and then backhauling, for example, to a remotely located control room . As with all our radio links, they are easy to install and set up and are managed via the free, easy to configure and easy to use SilverView wireless network management and monitoring software (NMS).”
