BridgeWave Communications

BrideWave gigabit point-to-point wireless links provide fiber-equivalent connections between locations by transmitting data over highly secure 60GHz & 80GHz radio frequencies at Gigabit and Fast Ethernet speeds.

License-free 60GHz radios have unique characteristics that make them significantly different from traditional 2.4GHz or 5GHz license-free radios and from licensed-band millimeter-wave radios. These characteristics give 60GHz radios operational advantages not found in other wireless systems.

License-Free Spectrum

The FCC allocated an unprecedented 7GHz of un-channelized spectrum for license-free operation between 57-64GHz. This compares to less than 0.5GHz of spectrum allocated between 2-6GHz for WiFi and other license-free applications. For the first time, sufficient spectrum has been allocated to make possible multi-gigabit Radio Frequency (RF) links.

Narrow Beam Antennas

The very narrow beam associated with 60GHz radios enables multiple 60GHz radios to be installed on the same rooftop or mast, even if they are all operating at the same transmit and receive frequencies. Co-located radios operating in the same transmit and receive frequency ranges can easily be isolated from one another based on small lateral or angular separations and the use of cross-polarized antennas.
