SCALTEL AG will market, sell, and support BridgeWave’s point-to-point product line throughout Germany

San Diego, CA – June 1, 2017 – BridgeWave Communications, a market leader in wireless point-to-point backhaul systems, today announced a strategic distribution agreement with SCALTEL AG, a leading systems integrator and provider of innovative IT technologies to small and midsize enterprises throughout Germany. Under the agreement, SCALTEL AG, headquartered in Waltenhofen in the Allgäu, will market, sell, and support BridgeWave millimeter wave and microwave systems to their customers throughout Germany including those in telecom, healthcare, government, and public safety.

“All of our customers are faced with demands for higher bandwidth to connect their remote sites, irrespective of the markets they serve,” said Georg Skala, CTO Wireless & Mobility. “The BridgeWave Flex-4G family of millimeter wave radios combines multi-gigabit full-duplex capacity and  extremely high-quality, and that certainly helps us to be successful in designing and supporting projects whether very large or small.”

SCALTEL is currently deploying BridgeWave’s newest 80GHz system, the Flex4G-5000, which for ETSI bands delivers up 4.7 Gbps full duplex capacity per radio and 9.4Gbps in a 2+0 configuration, and for ANSI bands up to 5.3Gbps and 10.7Gbps in a 2+0 configuration. The Flex4G-5000 offers an alternative to fiber in dense urban areas, and provides SCALTEL customers with a backhaul system that quickly scales to meet future capacity requirements.

“Strategic partnerships such as the one we now have with SCALTEL are mutually beneficial, enabling BridgeWave to reach new customers, and SCALTEL to design highly robust connectivity solutions to meet their customers’ requirements,” said Sanjay Nagpal, senior vice president, global sales and marketing, REMEC Broadband Wireless Networks, BridgeWave Communications, and SAGE Satcom. “SCALTEL’s deep IT experience and expertise, coupled with their commitment to customer service, mirrors our own, and we are honored that they have placed their trust in BridgeWave.”

BridgeWave will shortly announce two new products built on custom ASICs. These ASICs, developed in-house and company-owned, will enable BridgeWave to offer products that are feature-rich, and deliver ultra-high capacity at remarkable price points. The first of these is a high capacity licensed microwave system supporting 6-38GHz frequency bands. The next is an 80GHz system, which will deliver 10Gbps capacity for true fiber replacement.
