General Description

The AirLink™ digital microwave radio provides solutions for voice and data applications between two locations up to 30 miles (50 km) apart. This technology delivers very low bit error rate links that have high immunity to interference. A pair of AirLink radios with line-of-sight access creates a robust, wireless link using spread-spectrum microwave transmission. 

These links are ideal for public and private networks. Applications include Wireless Local Loop (WLL), Wide Area Networking (WAN), and Metropolitan Area Networking (MAN). High-performance links are ideal for frame relay applications and last-mile feeders into optical and satellite networks.
