● Power Management: The K60 system utilizes the scheduled access mode to reduce
power consumption. Devices connected with each other via a directional link
schedule the periods during which they communicate and, in between those
periods, they can sleep to save power. This capability allows devices to more
precisely tailor their power management to their actual traffic workload, reduces
potential co-channel interference and enables efficient spectrum utilization.
● Advanced Security: The K60 system utilizes strong security mechanisms, including
Galois/Counter Mode, a highly-efficient mode of encryption that is designed to
support higher communication speeds. Encryption is based on the
government-grade Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) and is implemented in
hardware for performance and efficiency.
● Integrated Antennas: The K60 units integrate a specially-designed, 128 element
antenna module that enables a maximum EIRP of 40 dBm with a 90º azimuthal and
40º vertical beam sweep range.
● PtMP with Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation: The K60 system can operate in PtP or
PtMP configurations with up to seven Remotes. The capacity allocated to each
Remote is variable according to the requirements of connected devices.
● Compact Form Factor: The K60 transceiver units are highly integrated, compact,
and lightweight, so they can be easily mounted on poles, pipes and walls.
● Connectivity: K60 devices include two standard RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet ports. One
port is a PoE In port. The second port is 30W PoE Out port. The PoE Out port can
provide power to connected Wi-Fi access points, IoT gateways, surveillance cameras
and other payload communication devices.
The Kwikbit K60 system provides these network management features:
● Each K60 unit incorporates a WebUI. This WebUI enables configuration, fault
management, and administration of the unit, as well as provides system state and
performance information.
● A command-line interface (CLI) is also available. It provides features similar to those
of the WebUI.
