  BridgeWave FlexPort µWave
flexport_uwave.jpg
BridgeWave’s FlexPort® family of high-capacity wireless solutions are well-positioned to fulfill a critical role for emerging 4G/WiMAX/LTE deployments worldwide.
FlexPort ® µWave in the 18 GHz and 23 GHz microwave radio systems have been designed specifically to meet the requirements of operators, carriers, and service providers requiring full-rate gigabit connectivity in a single, compact, all-outdoor enclosure. The FlexPort® µWave accomplish this through an innovative approach in aggregating multiple RF channels without the need for additional hardware as with other lower licensed frequency band products. This helps ease installation and maintenance costs on the network by offering only one device to install and manage, providing the user with a highly-reliable, fully integrated backhaul solution.

Carrier-class Platform for 4G Migration

FlexPort was designed with the requirements of mobile operators migrating to 4G networks in mind. Several key capabilities critical for the successful implementations of robust 4G network backhaul are included:

  • TDM + IP CONNECTIVITY – FlexPort80 delivers simultaneous TDM + IP connectivity, all natively, allowing operators to utilize a single, future-proofed solution for today's TDM-based networks while migrating to next generation IP based transmission at their own pace.
  • EASE OF NETWORK PLANNING – FlexPort80 provides frequency agility not seen in any other 80 GHz product. As cell density increases, the ability to tune anywhere in the 80 GHz band greatly simplifies network planning.
  • EFFICIENT SPECTRUM USE – FlexPort80 utilizes QPSK modulation, providing improved spectral use compared to other 80 GHz solutions. This translates to lower licensing costs as well as better frequency reuse/ conservation of the 80 GHz spectrum.
  • MULTI-CHANNEL RF AGGREGATION – FlexPort µWave provides full-rate gigabit Ethernet transport by simultaneously transmitting over multiple RF channels in a single all-outdoor enclosure.
  • CARRIER ETHERNET SERVICES - With its built-in low-latency gigabit Ethernet layer-2 switch, FlexPort provides Quality of Service, VLAN, and support for Jumbo packets (up to 10,000) bytes.
  • CARRIER ETHERNET MANAGEMENT – FlexPort provides advanced carrier Ethernet (OAM and CFM) management capabilities per IEEE 802.3ah (link OAM), 802.1ag (configuration fault management), Y.1731 (performance monitoring).

18 GHz  and 23 GHz  Full-Rate Gigabit Capacity Wireless Links for high bandwidth applications

The FlexPort® family of high capacity millimeter wave radios offers carriers, service providers, government and enterprise users the ultimate flexibility in an access and aggregation/backhaul solution for today’s networks.

The FP18 and FP23 microwave radio systems have been designed specifically to meet the requirements of operators, carriers, and service providers requiring full-rate gigabit connectivity in a single, compact, all-outdoor enclosure. FP18 and FP23 accomplish this through an innovative approach in aggregating multiple RF channels without the need for additional hardware as with other lower licensed frequency band products. This helps ease installation and maintenance costs on the network by offering only one device to install and manage, providing the user with a highly-reliable, fully integrated backhaul solution.
