GigaCom is a leading provider of point-to-point wireless data transmission technology that enables PtP digital radios with capacities from 100 Mbps to 600 Mbps covering the 6 to 38GHz licensed frequency bands.

The GigaCom's new Hafnium digital radio includes a state-of-the-art, single-chip modem ASIC specifically designed for higher performances and flexible modulation allowing an excellent spectral efficiency and with powerful Forward Error Correcting schemes. GigaCom's Hafnium is designed to support flexible payload types and data rates, as well as payload Switching, in 1+0 unprotected, 2+0 east/west and 1+ 1 protected configurations, easily enabling network availability as high as 99,999% with self-healing rings architecture.

The Hafnium Gigabit Ethernet configuration is a native IP transmission system that is ideally suited for wireless IP backhauls, such as in WiMAX networks.

WiMAX backhaul is a critical component to the WiMAX business model. A bottleneck in the backhaul will immediately diminish the capacity of the entire network, irrespective of the cell number, base station distribution and coverage, and network core capacity.

A fast, secure, quickly deployable and expandable backhaul is required to assure that WiMAX keeps its promise to deliver high-speed wireless services from the network core to the end user.

Firmly believing that the WiMAX Era is starting now, GigaCom developed this new PtP digital radio specifically designed to aetas the ideal backhaul for WiMAX
