The system operates as a data link in the 60GHz band (often licence exempt or lightly licensed) between 57GHz and 64GHz and delivers a full duplex data rate of up to 320Mbps. Measuring only 18cm × 18cm (7“ × 7“), the terminal’s compact size is attained by extensively integrating the active and passive circuit components. Features are:
- Easy installation – The ‘2 box’ concept of the Liberator-V320 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 320Mbps rate at the Ethernet, combined with 99.999% availability.
- License exempt operation – The system has been approved and can be operated 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.
