1 6 WISPAMERICA 2022 I MARCH 14 - 17, 2022 www.bekabusinessmedia.com DAY 1 BEC LTE-A Outdoor CBRS Router Receives OnGo Certification SAF Tehnika Teams with GeoLinks to Provide Access to Spectrum BEC Technologies Inc., a developer and manufacturer of 4G LTE and 5G wireless broadband solutions, announced OnGo certification for its latest high-power LTE-A Outdoor CBRS Router, the BEC RidgeWave 7000R28-G. For operators, OnGo certification ensures the 7000R28-G has met a high set of quality, interoperability, and security standards for multivendor, large-scale deployments. The 7000R28-G is a high-performance CAT B CPE-CBSD explicitly designed to deliver enhanced uplink performance for CBRS Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) deployments. The 3GPP compliant platform provides LTE Category 15 peak downlink data rates of up to 580 Mbps. It includes carrier aggregation up to 4CA DL / 2CA UL, uplink MIMO, and integrated high gain 15.5 dBi 4X4 MIMO directional antenna providing a maximum of 38 dBm EIRP. CBRS deployments with the 7000 R28-G will experience increased capacity, higher downlink and uplink throughput and extended coverage. “By achieving OnGo certification, we are further demonstrating our commitment to CBRS ecosystem interoperability as well as ensuring customers’ confidence that our solutions will operate flawlessly in any network deployment,” said D’Andre Ladson, vice president of marketing. BEC outdoor devices are unique for their use of GORE Vents that allow for pressure equalization, humidity management and airflow, thus improving performance reliability and longevity. In addition, the enclosures are IP68/UL 50E rated for protection against dirt, water ingress and operation in extreme temperatures. Furthermore, enhanced safety lighting/ESD protection and wind loading operation up to 216 kph (135 mph) ensure years of dependable operation. The 7000R28-G integrates seamlessly with BECentral, the proven cloud-based remote management platform for managing largescale UE deployments. The platform includes SAS domain proxy and full interop with the top four SAS vendors. Administrators can view multiple visual dashboards with realtime analytics intelligence, detailed reporting, performance monitoring and complete lifecycle management. m The BEC 7000R28-G is available in North America through BEC distribution partners.

SAF Tehnika JSC, a leader in microwave date transmission equipment internationally, announced GeoLinks has selected SAF Tehnika as a strategic partner to provide multi-gigabit, low-latency point-to-point microwave radios in the LMDS 29-31 bands. “The local multi-point distribution service – LMDS band is a great option in markets where traditional MW bands 11, 18, and 23 GHz have very limited availability,” said SAF Tehnika President Janis Bergs. SAF Tehnika’s Integra X dual-core radio platform is designed and built for exceptional performance and reliability delivering multi-gigabit throughput with superb spectral efficiency and industry leading transmit power. The Integra X platform in 6–23 GHz has a proven track record with deployments around the world. GeoLinks is a large holder of licensed spectrum in the 29-31GHz band (29.5-31.3GHz) throughout the contiguous United States. GeoLinks, through a partnership with Double Radius, a 20-year distributor of microwave equipment, will offer long-term leases of the LMDS spectrum at terms accessible to most broadband providers. The Double Radius team brings considerable expertise in helping broadband providers with equipment acquisition. “This go-to-market strategy will enable us to expand our existing market leadership into the licensed millimeter wave spectrum segment, which is poised for growth,” said Gerry Ford, President, DoubleRadius. The collaboration among these three companies combines frequency access, high-capacity radios and exceptional service in expanding broadband networks. “We are excited about the opportunity to extend to service providers reasonably priced access to licensed spectrum. Combining the cost-effective coverage potential of the spectrum and the low latency and high-capacity capabilities of the radios – we’re doing our part to bring better broadband to America” said GeoLinks President, COO Ryan Adams. m For information, visit booth #804.
