Today's mobile backhaul is comprised of copper-based T1/E1 circuits, microwave links and a small portion of fiber. As 4G capabilities are added to today's networks, cell site backhaul and aggregation network requirements must meet this demand for bandwidth. Low cell-site fiber penetration rates, coupled with often prohibitive costs of new fiber lateral deployment, will drive the adoption of high frequency wireless-fiber backhaul solutions.

BridgeWave's millimeter wave 80 GHz solutions provide highly-available connectivity at typical urban distances and feature sufficient capacity to simultaneously support legacy TDM and rapidly-growing IP traffic. BridgeWave 80 GHz links are well-positioned to fulfill a critical enabling role for emerging 4G/WiMAX/LTE deployments worldwide.

Learn how "wireless fiber" 80 GHz links provide an economical alternative to operator-owned fiber.
