Ubiquiti (News - Alert) Networks, provider of outdoor wireless broadband solutions, has introduced the XtremegeRange3, 3GHz 802.11 Atheros based mini-PCI radio module coupled with Ubiquiti's patent-pending Frequency Freedom Technology.
XR3 is ideal for long-distance, outdoor broadband wireless applications. The mini-PCI radio module features high output power (400mW), extended temperature operation, and an innovative receiver design.
The XR3 is fully compatible with the Atheros Linux MADWIFI driver. It can instantly transform existing 802.11 based products into market-ready 3GHz solutions by simply changing out the mini-PCI radio. The XR3 employs a variety of advanced features including scalable channel bandwidths of 5/10/20/40 MHz, compression, and 256-bit AES security.
In addition, the XR3 is a viable Wi-Max replacement solution for OEMs and carriers. The radio module is based on reliable hardware and software solutions from Atheros Communications (News - Alert) tested to link beyond distances of 50km and achieve TCP/IP data rates greater than 60Mbps.
Robert J. Pera, President of Ubiquiti Networks hopes that the XR3 based solutions will introduce a new wave of cost-effective, high-performance, flexible 3GHz products for the carrier market.
“The radio performance of the XR3 has been shown to exceed the performance of available WiMAX offerings in terms of range and throughput. In addition, it is based on a hardware and software foundation (from Atheros Communications) that has been proven in the field for many years in the outdoor PtP and PtmP markets,” said Pera. “It provides a practical and high-performance path for OEM's and carries, to quickly and efficiently realize scalable, powerful 3GHz networks."
