Look, no wires!
Look, no wires!
DMC Stratex Networks (formerly Digital Microwave Corporation) is now shipping its award-winning Altium broadband fixed wireless access products in markets where the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) regulations apply. This is because the products now conform to European telecommunications standards for 155-Mbps wireless solutions in the high-capacity 38-GHz radio frequency band. DMC Stratex Networks in August is an independent wireless solutions provider with a leading market share in the broadband fixed wireless access and mobile wireless solutions markets. Already deployed throughout the USA, and now available in Europe, the 38-GHz Altium one-of-a-kind solution is designed to meet the most stringent requirements of ultra-high-speed wireless access networks. Altium is claimed to be the highest-speed, most spectrally efficient wireless access solution shipping today. It uses 128 QAM modulation to deliver 155 Mbps wireless fibre-like capacity in only 28 MHz of radio frequency bandwidth, half that of other available wireless products. This efficiency allows wireless-based service providers to dedicate less of their licensed spectrum for installed systems, providing for the best dollars-per-Mbps-per-MHz metric today.
