This in turn sparked a lot of interesting conversations…we’ve compiled a snapshot of the questions that were top of mind for some well-known tier 1 players at the show: What’s the maximum line of sight transmission range? – Up to 500m For this distance, what is the maximum throughput? – Using a lower order modulation such as QPSK, up to 2Gbps What’s the frequency bandwidth of the system? – 1.76GHz How many multi-station points does the system support? – Currently 8 stations with support for 32 beginning next year What RF channel support do you have? – 6 channels with Sivers IMA covering 57-71GHz From the exciting conversations undertaken at BBWF, it really does seem that many organisations are looking for a way of bridging the gap to 5G right now, and looking to us as we can provide a cost-effective, robust solution.
