Reliability
Superior Reliability and Spectrum Efficiency
Equipped with custom-engineered multi-channel and auto-everything technology, the B5x addresses unlicensed spectrum interference effectively, functioning as two smart links in one radio. Its high-precision GPS Sync technology allows for the reuse of the same channel network-wide, making it spectrum-friendly and enabling the addition of more capacity to more sites without wasting spectrum. This ensures consistent, reliable performance in demanding conditions.
Design
Robust Design and Ease of Monitoring
The IP67 design of the B5x ensures it can withstand the harshest environmental conditions, making it ultra-rugged and dependable. Additionally, the system's ease of monitoring link health and identifying potential problems simplifies network management. Instant link monitoring capabilities provide network administrators with the insights needed to maintain optimal performance and swiftly address any issues that arise.
Link Planning
Going the Distance
The Mimosa Design Tool streamlines planning and validating PTP and PTMP deployments with a few clicks on a map. This intuitive tool simplifies connectivity evaluation by using visual aids like terrain elevation to estimate performance and reliability, automatically accounting for factors such as weather and tree clutter.
