Hybrid Wireless Bridges Prove Popular, as LightPointe's Sales Hit Record and It Introduces 4-Laser Model With Integrated Radio
SAN DIEGO, CA, Feb 14, 2012 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --
LightPointe, the number one manufacturer of 4th generation Free
Space Optics (FSO) and hybrid optical-radio wireless bridges, and a
leader in 60/70/80 GHz millimeter wave backhaul solutions, has added
a new model to its popular HyBridge(TM) Series. The HyBridge Series
utilizes a combination of highly advanced optical laser technology
combined with radio frequency electronics for transmitting data or
video at over one Gigabit per second. The new HyBridge LXR-5 includes
built-in failsafe features for optimum performance and reliability
under all weather conditions.
Due to the exponential growth in wireless broadband demand from
mobile devices such as the iPhone, Google Android smartphones and the
iPad tablet, the need for point-to-point backhaul solutions, which
are also used for building connectivity in school and business
campuses, has risen sharply. Such wireless bridges as the HyBridge
LXR-5 enable super-fast throughput for backhaul networks supporting
such devices and Enterprise data needs.
"When the numbers came in for last year, and we finished 2011 with
the strongest December in our 15 year history, we decided to build on
our strategy of offering customers the best choice of Millimeter Wave
Backhaul Solutions, Free Space Optics and Hybrid Optical-Radio
Bridges," said Dr. Heinz Willebrand, president and CEO of
LightPointe. "The popularity of our first model in the HyBridge
Series, the affordable single-beam SXR-5, has encouraged us to add
the LXR-5 to the model lineup. The HyBridge LX models utilize
LightPointe's exclusive 4-beam auto tracking technology, with
overlapping beams to multiple receivers for redundancy. The units
also feature our DualPath(TM) architecture and patented AirePex(TM)
intelligent switching, which includes an algorithm to automatically
choose between optical and RF modes depending on conditions. The
combination of four redundant optical transmission beams with RF
backup creates a reliable high performance Ethernet bridge, which is
unparalleled in the industry. In addition, the HyBridge units are
easy to install with Cat5e or 6 and PoE, so there's no cost running
AC power to the units, and a fiber interface is optional for longer
cable runs."
For organizations concerned about data security, optical technology
is regarded as the most secure available, offering literally
pin-point transmission without the high installation and recurring
costs associated with alternatives such as leased-line services or
radio frequency licensing. LightPointe's HyBridge Series utilizes
license-free fiber-like optical wireless and radio technology, for
fast and cost effective installation without the need to trench for
fiber optic cables or pay monthly leased-line T1 rates.
The HyBridge LXR-5, which includes an integrated radio, is also
joined by the HyBridge LX, a "radio ready" bridge enabling customers
to add their own new or legacy radio. LightPointe has tested or plans
to test certain product models of sub-Gigabit backhaul and LAN
bridges from companies including Lancom, Tranzeo, RAD, Ubiquiti and
others.
