Proxim Wireless today announced the Lynx.G5 family of carrier-class point-to-point radios. The Lynx.G5 family of radios is designed specifically to meet the demands of cellular voice and data backhaul at any frequency in the unlicensed 2.4 GHz or 5.15-5.95 GHz spectrum. With support for both T1/E1 interfaces as well as Ethernet, the Lynx.G5 provides a simple migration path to IP as the industry moves towards T1 replacement.
Key features of the Proxim Lynx.G5 include:
- Supports both T1/E1 interfaces and Ethernet
- Any frequency in the 2.4 GHz spectrum or
5.15 - 5.95 GHz spectrum - RSA-certified AES encryption
- IP Packet Filtering and QOS on every ethernet IP packet
- SNMP, CLI and Web interfaces for flexible remote management
- Built-in silence detection and redundant data compression for
increased data capacity - Adaptive Modulation for automatic configuration of the unit
The Lynx.G5 combines support of the 2.4 GHz and 5.15-5.95 GHz unlicensed spectrums on 5, 10 or 20 MHz channels — all integrated into one radio. The radios are software configurable, making it simple to reconfigure radios when deploying in the field. Competing products support only one frequency or require complex manual reconfiguration, which hinders flexibility, says the company.
Proxim’s Lynx line of products has traditionally targeted service providers/carriers as a cellular backhaul product, but with the addition of the new security and flexibility features, Proxim says their Lynx.G5 can be used by utilities and enterprise markets as well.
