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 K60x 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 K60x 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 K60x 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 K60x 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 K60x transceiver units are highly integrated, compact,
and lightweight, so they can be easily mounted on poles, pipes and walls.
● Connectivity: K60x backhaul devices include two standard RJ45 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet
ports, and one standard RJ45 1 Gigabit Ethernet port. One 2.5 Gigabit port is a PoE
In port. Second 2.5 Gigabit port is 30W PoE Out port and the 1 Gigabit port is 15W
PoE Out port. The two PoE Out ports can provide power to connected Wi-Fi access
points, IoT gateways, surveillance cameras and other payload communication
devices.
The Kwikbit K60x system provides these network management features:
● Each K60x 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.
