their antenna settings to improve the quality of directional communication until
there is enough capacity for the desired data transmission.
One key benefit of Kwikbit’s beamforming is that if an obstacle blocks the line of sight
between two devices, for example, if someone walks between them, the devices can
quickly establish a new communications pathway. Another benefit of the K60c
beamforming is that non-technical personnel can quickly and easily install the
system. Precise physical alignment of the radios, as required with previous 60 GHz
products, is not required with the Kwikbit system. The beamforming feature also
enables the PtMP communication capability of the system.
● Power Management: The K60c 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 K60c 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 K60c units integrate a specially-designed antenna
module that enables a 90º azimuthal and 40º vertical beam sweep range.
● PtMP with Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation: The K60c system can operate in PtP or
PtMP configurations with up to eight Remotes. The capacity allocated to each
Remote is variable according to the requirements of connected devices.
● Compact Form Factor: The K60c transceiver units are highly integrated, compact,
and lightweight, so they can be easily mounted on poles, pipes and walls.
● Connectivity: K60c devices include a standard RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet port that
serves as a PoE In port.
The Kwikbit K60c system provides these network management features:
● Each K60c unit incorporates a WebUI. This WebUI enables configuration, fault
management, and administration of the unit, as well as provides system state and
performance information.
