New Airmux-400 from RAD
Posted by John Brandon in General, Wireless Muliplexers on February 25th, 2010
OK, it’s been a while since I last posted about the virtues of wireless networking, I admit. Since my last post, I have been busy with a lot of different aspects of this industry. RADWin and RAD Data Communications have since released the latest version of their wireless bridge called the Airmux-400 which now supports asymmetric speeds of up to 100 Mbps in one direction with a lower speed in the opposite direction. By offering the capability of both symmetric (50 Mbps in both directions) and asymmetric, RAD has maintained the standard 20 MHz channel bandwidths thus preserving the total number of non-overlapping 20 MHz channels available. And, the Airmux-400 ships with selectable 5.3, 5.4, and 5.8 GHz bands (4.9 is also available in addition for public safety) right out of the box.
I’ve also learned the new Airmux-400 hardware that supports 100 Mbps asymmetric speeds will soon support 100 Mbps full duplex symmetric. It will require double the channel bandwidth (40 MHz), but the benefits will outweigh the loss of some non-overlapping channels. And with so many different bands to choose from, I don’t think it will be an issue anyway.
If you haven’t deployed wireless networking where possible with RAD Airmux-400s yet, you should look at the possibility. A system can be deployed in a few hours and it can save you a bundle over the long run. I’m talking thousands to hundreds of thousands of hard dollars.
All the information on the Airmux-400 as well as all of RAD’s products can be seen on out sister site www.RADProductsOnline.com.

What Are You Waiting For?

I’ve written several posts about the advantages of wireless bridges and how they can save your company tons of bucks. And as you might expect, during the first half of 2009 with the economy in the crapper, we’ve seen an increase of wireless bridge usage since most fiscally responsible companies are looking for ways to trim operating costs.
What amazes me still are the shear number of IT and network personnel who haven’t heard of wireless bridge connectivity or who have a misconception about what wireless bridges are. Many assume anything wireless falls into the 802.11 category and they don’t want anything to do with it. Others think of bureaucracy laden licensed wireless that seems to take forever to implement and costs a small fortune. If you fit into one of the above categories and are obviously reading this post, let me say, wireless bridges are none of the above. Advances in wireless technology have brought us high-speed Ethernet connectivity that’s very reasonably priced, secure, easy to deploy, and readily available. Read the rest of this entry »
