Introduction

The MetroLinq 2.5G 60 Beamforming Sector (ML2.5-60-BF-18) is a powerful 60 GHz MultiPoint base-station packed with the latest technologies from IgniteNet. This new radio can achieve 2.5 Gbps capacity allowing the construction of multi-gigabit, future-proof hybrid fibre wireless networks quickly and cost-effectively. Using the latest phased array beamforming antenna design allows 120º area coverage with an improved performance when focusing the signal to a specific client when data is transmitted and received.

The ML2.5-60-BF-18 provides up to 3 Gbps aggregate throughput. The free LinqPath tool can be used to calculate expected range and throughput. 

The 5 GHz radio supports multiple SSIDs which can be used for failover, additional infrastructure connections and WIFI access.

MetroLinq 2.5 devices have one SFP port which supports 1000M data speeds and one 2.5G N-base-T port with supports 2.5 Gigabit/ 1000M/100M/10M data speeds. MetroLinq 2.5 also provides 24-48V DC input terminals and a USB port for use with the Bluetooth aiming dongle. More information can be found in the product datasheet.
