‡A new wireless technology could beat fiber optics for speed in some
applications.
‡There¶s a new type of wireless transmitter and receiver that can send
and receive data at rates of more than one gigabit per second -- fast
enough to stream 90 minutes of video from one tower to the next, more
than one mile apart, in less than six seconds.
‡This kind of point-to-point wireless technology could be used in
situations where digging fiber-optic trenches would disrupt an
environment, their cost be prohibitive, or the installation process take
too long, as in extending communications networks in cities, on
battlefields, or after a disaster.
‡This technology is different that it exploits a different part of the
electromagnetic spectrum however, transmits at 71-76, 81-86, and 92-
95 gigahertz frequencies, where these conditions generally do not
cause problems.

The GigaBeam wireless communications solution is a protocol
independent, high-speed, point-to-point and line-of-sight wireless
communications link established between two GigaBeam transceiver
units
Wifiber Is Point-to-Point Wireless Microwave Radio.
WiFiber digital millimeter-wave radio is the first product to exploit the
recently released 71 - 76 GHz, 81 - 86 GHz and 92 ± 95 GHz
frequency bands (lowest potential for atmospheric interference).
WiFiber offers true full-duplex Gigabit data rates (1.25 Gbps) in cost
effective radio architecture. Transmission distances of over 1 mile can
be achieved with carrier-class 99.999% availability under all weather
conditions.
A WiFiber radio operates at much higher frequency bands than any
other services using much greater spectrum bandwidth. Technical rules
allow the full 5 GHz of bandwidth to be used to host both the transmit
and receive data.
‡GigaBeam links utilize a highly directional millimeter-wave (MMW)
antenna and a low-noise amplitude-modulated transceiver. The
antennas generate a pencil-like beam less than one degree wide.
This narrow beam translates to a small illuminated ³footprint´ at the
receiving antenna location
‡This product is light weight (approximately 50 lbs), easy to install,
consumes very little power (less than a small light bulb) and can
provide link distance of about a mile.

‡This communications links can be established between two
buildings or locations by installing a GigaBeam transceiver unit on
the rooftop or at one of the windows of each building.
‡ These two transceiver units are ³linked´ wirelessly through the
alignment of their antennas and their transmission of data via radio
signals in the 71-76 GHz and 81-86 GHz spectrum bands.
‡The GigaBeam transceiver unit on each building is also connected
via cables and switches to a communications network within its
building, such as a local area network used by one of the building¶s
enterprises or a city, nation or global wide area network with a fiber
optic backbone connection in the building.
‡As a result, once a GigaBeam link is established between the two
buildings, the internal networks in each building are wirelessly
connected and communications traffic can be carried from one
network to the other.
‡By running a network cable directly between two ³back-to-back´
transceiver units, each of which is then wirelessly linked to a
transceiver unit on another building, an operator can also connect
more than two locations to form a more extensive network or ³virtual
fiber´ loop, as demonstrated by the following graphic:

‡The WiFiber G1.25 radio is a high data rate point-to-point
communications device optimized for 1 Gigabit of Ethernet traffic.
The radio operates in a dual band FDD format meeting the technical
standards of FCC regulations. The radio bands used are 71-76 GHz
and 81-86 GHz
    
The system operates Dual Band FDD: one end of the link transmits
within the71 GHz band and receives within the 81 GHz band. The
other end of the line does the inverse: transmits within the 81 Ghz
band and receives within the 71 GHz band, Figure 2-3.


The transceiver is a multi-functional device that sends and receives
data and includes a receiver, transmitter, and synthesizer. This is a
GigaBeam custom design.
 The receiver is a single conversion unit.

 The transmitter output results from digital modulation

driven into a modulating mixer just prior to the power amplifier.

!" The Local Oscillator signal is created in a low-noise,
high-stability, phase-locked source and is multiplied to appropriate
frequencies.
 
The modem is a data interface system that performs two functions:
data generation and data recovery. The system operates with
industry standard Ethernet at 1.25 Gigabits per second. Forward
Error Correction (FEC) is enabled by default and is always active.
This is a GigaBeam custom design.
# 
The controller is a subsystem powered by a microprocessor. The
operating system provides powerful software capabilities such as the
CLI and the SNMP, which commands the radio to transmit upon
receipt of a valid network management input.
The subsystem also monitors vital signals from the radio system and
reports status to the network management system. This is a
GigaBeam custom design.

A power supply converts 48 Volts DC (VDC) to required voltages
needed within the radio. An external 120 Volts AC (VAC) rectifier will
provide the 48 VDC source.

Commercially available equipment can provide fiber-like performance at

a fraction of the cost of laying fiber or leasing capacity.
Equipment is commercially available with full-duplex data rates in
excess of 1 Gbps in cost-effective, reliable architectures, with carrier
class 99.999% availability at distances of one mile or more. Several
other technologies exist to provide gigabit services, but 70/80 GHz
wireless is the only solution that offers carrier-class reliability at any
significant distance at a cost that can transform backhaul and
access business models.
