ecause Orthogon Systems
offers the only true non-
line-of-sight (NLOS) solution in
the market, they’re known for
their ability to solve the tough
environmental radio challenges.
However, the same compact OS-
Gemini products outperform the
competition in near-line-of-sight
(nLOS) and line-of-sight (LOS)
environments as well, providing
additional opportunities:
• Make the most efficient use
of the spectrum with OS-
Gemini’s narrow 12 MHz
channel.
• Deliver secure broadband
connections over challeng-
ing radio paths.
• Decrease the transient fad-
ing and dispersion that
degrades all wireless signals.
Engineer the link to deliver
carrier-class availability
(99.999-percent availability
or higher).
• Improve performance
over water and flat terrain
where other systems often
struggle.
• Improve backhaul traffic
and last-mile access.
• Transport data interference-
free even in adverse
weather conditions.
OS-Gemini’s unique multi-
beam space-time coding technol-
ogy transmits multiple signals
carrying the same, but decorre-
lated, data streams that are
recombined at the receiving end
to deliver reliable, highly avail-
able broadband wireless commu-
nications for real-time,
mission-critical applications. At
power-up and during operation,
OS-Gemini scans the whole band
and automatically switches to
the clearest channel. Its best-in-
class radios utilize powerful
transmitters with super-sensitive
receivers to deliver a class-lead-
ing 167 dB system gain. Yet,
with all its capabilities, OS-
Gemini is cost-effective, easy
to deploy and compatible
with other equipment.
The OS-Gemini solution is
perfect for ISPs, enterprises, gov-
ernment, education, healthcare
and other markets requiring
point-to-point applications.
Customers can use Orthogon’s
online Link Estimator tool to
determine whether or not the
OS-Gemini can deliver the
performance required in the
specific environment.

Ethernet Bridge Delivers Reliable, Low-Cost Broadband Wireless Connections
DS-3 Communications deployed
18 links of Orthogon for a distance-
learning project in Texas. Besides
being a large deployment, this sale
was noteworthy because:
•
Only Orthogon was willing
to provide the up-front
engineering support and
performance assurances
the customer required.
• The system installed was
for video transport over
multiple wireless links…
a hot application!
• The project required sustained
throughputs above 24 Mbps in
links spanning up to 30 miles, and
in links without radio line of sight.
• The Orthogon-based solution
almost paid for itself just in the
savings in tower costs.
• The Orthogon units were
deployed in a matter of hours.
Keep Orthogon in mind for your
customers with long distance link
requirements, mounting/equipment
size constraints, and near or non
line-of-sight considerations.

Power System Unveiled for
Medium Power Applications
EWMAR’s new Centurion Rectifier System is designed to meet a
wide variety of telecom, wireless and co-location site power require-
ments. The system is ideal for medium-power applications requiring
redundancy, hot-swap capability and system scalability.
A single 2U shelf accepts (TESSCO Part No. 426692) up to three
550-watt, 12-, 24- or 48-volt rectifiers that slide and lock into place for
a redundant system that is easily scaled to requirements. Rectifiers
can be added or changed without system shutdown. The system may
be used to power equipment directly or charge site batteries using
three-stage, switch-mode technology, adaptable to many different
types of battery chemistries.
System monitor features include bar graph output power display,
LED status indicators, output voltage test points and adjustment pot,
plus form A and form C alarm contacts. The system operates from a
wide input range of 90-264 VAC, with .96 power factor correction.
Units are designed to UL 1950 standards, with compliance testing in
progress. Visit TESSCO.com or call 800-472-7373 for more information.

First Indoor and
Outdoor Wi-Fi Base Stations
ivato has invented the
industry’s first indoor and
outdoor Wi-Fi base stations. This
revolutionary Wi-Fi technology
offers dramatic improvements in
range and coverage—providing
users significant cost savings
over traditional solutions.
Vivato’s cellular solution
includes Wi-Fi base stations that
provide up to 2.5 miles of wireless
coverage outdoors, and micro and
pico cells used to eliminate cover-
age gaps and increase bandwidth
in high demand areas. The indoor
product line uses the same cellu-
lar architecture to extend the
Vivato cost and coverage advan-
tages to indoor applications.
Vivato’s base stations use
phased-array smart antennas to
create highly directed, narrow
beams of transmission. The Wi-Fi
beams, created on a packet-by-
packet basis also reduce interfer-
ence, since they are powered only
when needed.
The cellular approach to Wi-Fi
significantly simplifies Wi-Fi
deployment. A single Vivato
Wi-Fi base station takes the place
of dozens of applications dramati-
cally reducing deployment and
maintenance costs. The result is
unequaled performance and low-
est total cost of ownership. Visit

All-Weather Enclosure
obile Mark offers corner
reflector antennas for high-
frequency applications at 2.4
GHz, 3.5 GHz, 5.2 and 5.8 GHz.
These antennas feature
excellent bandwidth, gain and
match. They offer efficient
point-to-point signal transfer,
and the broad beamwidth
makes them easy to align.
Directional antennas can also
be useful for preventing cross-
system interference with
similar devices.
These compact site antennas,
with a front aperture of only 3
inches by 5.5 inches, are easy to
install. The female N connector
exits from the back of the
antenna for quick access. Mount
hardware is provided to allow
for either pole or surface mount.

ever use butyl and
tape again to weather-
proof your inline connec-
tors, splices and ground
kits. EMI’s inline connector
covers are the ultimate way
to have a clean, consistent,
reliable weatherproofing
seal. In addition, they assist in
reducing vibrations that could
loosen connections.
Installation time is a fraction
of the time compared to butyl
and tape. ICCs can be re-entered
and resealed as many times as
you need—no temperature or
time limits.
Accept no alternatives! EMI
also has solutions for weather-
proofing shelters or cabinet
entry systems. Visit TESSCO.com
