PTP 200 Series Bridges

The PTP 200 Series bridges securely transport data, voice, and

video in both near-line-of-sight (nLOS) and line-of-sight (LOS)

deployments at Ethernet data rates up to 21 Mbps. In the 4.9-GHz

range, the public safety area of the spectrum, these bridges are a

point-to-point solution for emergency services. In 5.4 GHz, they are

a solution for enterprises. Orthogonal Frequency Division

Multiplexing (OFDM) technology resists multi-path interference

and fading that is otherwise caused by buildings and other

obstructions.

Interference avoidance capability is ensured. The Dynamic

Frequency Selection (DFS) feature switches channels to avoid

interfering with priority signals. Moreover, these bridges can be co-

located within the physical scope of an existing network, or used as

part of a 5.4-GHz frequency band overlay network.

These bridges are supported by this user guide. See Realizing a Wireless Ethernet Bridge

Network on Page 33.

PTP 300 Series Bridges

PTP 300 Series wireless Ethernet bridges offer reliable and cost-effective backhaul at rates up to

25 Mbps for distances up to 155 miles (250 km) or, when enabled by a special license key, up to

50 Mbps in LOS deployments for distances up to 10 miles (16 km).

These bridges operate in the 5.4- or 5.8-GHz frequency band range. The form for these bridges is

shown in Figure 8. These bridges are supported by their own dedicated user guide.

PTP 400 Series Bridges

PTP 400 Series wireless Ethernet bridges offer reliable non-

line-of-sight (NLoS) or long-distance line of sight (LoS)

connection to the other bridge in the pair. Their features include

adaptive modulation, intelligent Dynamic Frequency Selection,

and a preset that denies connection to any unit other than the

one in its pair. These are available as full (43-Mbps) or lite (21-

Mbps) bridges.

Either variety is a solution for any of the following field

applications:

• backhaul pair for PMP networks

• campus connection between buildings
