EtherFlex 6–42GHz Microwave Radio

Combines simplicity and high-performance along with high reliability for extended distance backhaul connectivity.

With its zero-footprint, all-outdoor architecture, single CAT5 cable installation, direct ODU-to-antenna mount, and a high link budget allowing for smaller antennas, EtherFlex was designed to provide low total cost of ownership

With a base capacity of 100Mbps full-duplex, EtherFlex is easily upgradeable to full duplex 364 Mbps (ETSI) or 314 Mbps (ANSI) capacity with a single software license key. Compact and lightweight, the all outdoor design affords rapid fitting on any REMEC style antenna mount. Considerations for radio power further simplify the installation process, with Power over Ethernet and a single CAT5 cable connection to the radio. PoE injectors are included with the radio and are fully weather-sealed for outdoor mounting with hardware for pole or wall mounting.

EtherFlex provides a high link budget for an all-outdoor solution, yielding greater link availability and/or longer link distances. Higher radio link budgets translate into smaller antenna sizes, which help to alleviate overall system operating costs.
