AirMAX GigaBeam Long-Range

A high-performance antenna operating at 60GHz, capable of carrying up to 1Gbps over distances of up to 2 km. The antenna can operate at frequencies from 57GHz to 66GHz with a 2160MHz channel bandwidth. In addition, it has transceivers operating at 5 and 2.4GHz. The 5GHz is used for backup connection and will work if any kind of problem arises while operating at 60GHz. The 2.4GHz transceiver is used for management: to connect to the antenna wirelessly and to change the configuration. Using the GBE-LR is recommended in places where high-speed transmission over distances of up to 2 km is required. One of the essential conditions for connecting two antennas to each other is a line of sight between the antennas. Please note that the antenna operates at a frequency of 60GHz, which means that its wavelength is 5 millimeters. Accordingly, it is very sensitive to precipitation (rain and snow). Signal levels that are perfectly aligned in dry weather may deteriorate drastically in precipitation and may even drop out. Therefore, it is recommended to have a second link as a backup (e.g. at 5GHz), which will continue to operate without interruption, though with lower throughput, if the main 60GHz link goes down. Signal quality by dBm The wireless link signal is measured in decibels (dB) with a negative value, so the closer this value is to zero, the better the signal quality. 0dBm to -50dBm: high-quality signal (if this result is obtained, the antenna's transmit power needs to be reduced) (-50dBm) to (-60dBm): good-quality signal (-60dBm) to (-70dBm): medium-quality signal (-70dBm) and weaker: low-quality signal
