see PDF of specs

The GE60 is a point-to-point wireless link that extends LANs between buildings at full gigabit Ethernet speeds. The product takes 1000Base-SX connections at each side of the link and transparently connects them as if the fibers were physically connected end-to-end.  It provides fiber equivalent performance, reliability and security, without the high installation costs and delays associated with inter-building fiber installations. The product operates in the license-free 60GHz radio frequency band. It is designed to be installed by end-users who do not have expertise in radio technology.

• Extends LAN backbones between buildings
• Connects buildings to metro fiber hub sites
• Enables centralization of IT facilities
• Avoids construction costs and delays
• Creates temporary connections
• Creates redundant paths for fiber, copper or free space optic links

Transparent Network Integration
• Full rate, full duplex, non-blocking gigabit Ethernet
• Functions as low-latency physical layer repeater
• Works with standard gigabit Ethernet equipment

Operates in 60 GHz Frequency Band
• License-free operation in U.S.
