The Liberator-V1000 wireless Ethernet bridge is physically identical to the V320 and operates in the same 60GHz band (often licence exempt or lightly licensed) between 57GHz and 64GHz, delivering a full duplex data rate of up to 1Gbps. Range of the V1000 is lower that the V320 at up to 800 metres. Features of the V1000 are similar to the V320, but can benefit from over 3 times the data throughput:
- Easy installation – The ‘2 box’ concept of the Liberator-V1000 allows an end user to install it as easily as any other network component. The radio and power source are connected to a network node using a single, outdoor rated, CAT 5e Ethernet cable carrying power and data. Alignment of the link is done using a visual alignment tool or via a standard multi-meter.
- System administration: Link performance can monitored and optimised via the GUI based management system.
- Throughput and availability. ‘Guaranteed’ full duplex 1Gbps rate at the Ethernet, combined with up to 99.999% availability.
- License exempt operation – The system has been type approved for use in many countries.
- Security – A complex proprietary radio interface significantly reduces the chance of any other system intercepting the 60GHz transmitted data. Additionally, a high level of data security is inherent in the product via signal absorption by atmospheric oxygen and the use of high gain/narrow beam width antennas.
