WISPAPALOOZA Show Daily Day 1

8 WISPA PALOOZA SHOW I OCTOBER 8 - 12, 2018 www.bekabusinessmedia.com DAY 1 L Z OO 2018 B ridgeWave Communications has announced that commercial production of Navigator, its 6GHz-42GHz microwave system, has commenced following the comple- tion of successful customer trials. The company expects to deliver before year-end hundreds of systems already on order from customers in the U.S., Europe and the Middle East, and to accelerate production to meet purchase orders received for shipments in the fourth quarter of this year and the first half of 2019. Features of the Navigator include the ability to combine dual subcarriers in each transceiver to transport more than 2.5 Gbps in a single dual transceiver (DT) radio using two 80MHz chan- nels in XPIC configuration; modulations up to 4096QAM with ultra-wide channel bandwidths up to 112MHz (ETSI) and 160MHz (ANSI) to maximize capacity and range; and 4x4 MIMO to quadruple throughput of a single channel. Customer-replaceable diplexers minimize product lead times and inventory stocking costs, and the flexibility to use each radio as a high band or low band unit minimizes the need for sparing. A dual 10GbE interface enables a simple, single fiber run to the radio; while an adaptable antenna inter- face allows operators to upgrade legacy networks with minimum invest- ment and service disruption. Integrated software features, such as ACM and QoS, eliminate the need and associated costs of additional software licenses, said the company, and a minimal set of upgrade features simplify radio configuration, installation and support. Navigator is available in single and dual transceiver models, Navigator ST and Navigator DT, respectively. Network operators can order either model in “base” configurations without diplexers installed, or fully configured. m Visit BridgeWave Communications at WISPAPALOOZA booth #338.
