Challenge: Stable High-Speed Connections Over Distance?
In many scenarios, whether it's networking buildings on a campus, connecting remote sites, or providing internet access in rural areas, traditional WLAN solutions quickly reach their limits. Cable connections are often too expensive or logistically impossible to implement. The need for a stable, high-bandwidth, and low-latency connection over several kilometers poses a major challenge, especially when the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz spectrums are already heavily utilized and weather conditions can affect signal quality.
The Solution: Ubiquiti GigaBeam Long Range – Reliable Gigabit PtP Links
The Ubiquiti GigaBeam Long Range (GBE-LR) offers you the perfect answer to these challenges. It is a specially developed 60 GHz radio system that enables a point-to-point connection with over 1 Gbps data throughput and extremely low latency. By utilizing the 60 GHz spectrum, you benefit from a low interference level, ensuring clear and stable transmission. The integrated 5 GHz fallback function further protects your connection from weather-related impairments by automatically switching to the 5 GHz band when needed, maximizing availability.
Technical Details for Maximum Performance
The GBE-LR is equipped with a powerful Quad-Core ARM Cortex A7 processor and 256 MB DDR3 memory to efficiently process the high data rate of over 1 Gbps. The integrated directional antenna offers a gain of 38 dBi in the 60 GHz band and 11 dBi in the 5 GHz band, enabling precise alignment and thus optimal signal strength over distances of up to 2 km. Full bandwidth support of 2.16 GHz in the 60 GHz link ensures maximum capacity. Passive PoE (24VDC, 0.5A) is used for power supply, with the appropriate Gigabit PoE adapter already included in the scope of delivery. Installation and management are conveniently carried out via the airOS operating system and a dedicated 2.4 GHz management WLAN, which allows for easy configuration via a mobile app or web browser. The robust enclosure made of aluminum and UV-stabilized polycarbonate ensures reliable operation under extreme conditions from -40 to 60° C and at wind speeds of up to 200 km/h.
Your Advantage: Reliability and Performance for Demanding Networks
With the Ubiquiti GigaBeam Long Range, you are investing in a future-proof solution that not only offers impressive speeds and low latency but also convinces with its high reliability. The intelligent combination of a 60 GHz main connection and a 5 GHz fallback radio minimizes downtime and ensures a consistently stable connection, even under adverse weather conditions. Easy installation and management reduce effort and allow you to expand or optimize your network efficiently and cost-effectively.
