10-Miles Wireless Bridge – 5.150GHz～5.850GHz

10-Miles Wireless Bridge – 5.150GHz～5.850GHz

The WB5ac-Dish is an 10-mile wireless bridge operating in the 5.150GHz to 5.850GHz frequency range and typically used to establish a reliable point-to-point or point-to-multipoint wireless communication link. Delivers broadband services to underserved rural areas, effectively bridging the digital divide. Support most third-party routers and modems in the market.

Operate within the 5 GHz band to Transmit LAN Internet up to 10 miles (approximately 16 kilometers) in clear line-of-sight

This wireless bridge is ideal for scenarios requiring high-speed, reliable, and secure communication over moderate to long distances. Establish reliable, high-speed network connections over distances where traditional cabling is impractical or cost-prohibitive.

How it works

1. 1. Point To Point [One To One] Operating Mode: The first radio connects the router located in the base station (also called Access Point or AP) and installed at a high point (like rooftop or a tower).
   2. Point-to-Multipoint [One-to-Many] Operating Mode: The first radio regarded as the central base station (also called Access Point or AP) is installed at a high point (like a tower or rooftop). Multiple radios (clients) are installed at various remote locations.
   3. The second radio [Point to Point or Point to Multi Point] installs at remote location and aligned to face the base station radio with a clear Line of Sight (LoS).
   4. They communicate over a dedicated wireless frequency (5GHz license free). The base station uses sector antennas to communicate with several clients simultaneously.
   5. Data from one network travels through the wireless link to the other, functioning as if they were physically connected via Ethernet.

Key Features

• • Frequency Range
    • Operates within the 5 GHz band, which is part of the unlicensed Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) radio bands. This frequency range is known for providing high-speed data rates and reduced interference compared to lower frequency bands.
  • Distance
    • Designed to cover long distances, typically up to 10 miles (approximately 12.9 kilometers) in clear line-of-sight (LOS) conditions. Performance may vary depending on environmental factors.
  • Applications
    • PtP Operation: Connecting two distant locations [Example: Farm house to barn, or businesses can establish PtP links between remote offices or campuses to ensure secure and high-speed data transmission].
    • PtMP Operation: Serving multiple users from one base [Example: Community Wi-Fi networks, or links and transmit video feeds from multiple cameras to a central monitoring station]
    • Rural Internet Access: Extending broadband connectivity to remote locations.
    • Surveillance: Linking IP cameras to a central monitoring hub over long distances.
    • Enterprise Connectivity: Bridging office buildings, warehouses, or manufacturing facilities.
    • Public Wi-Fi: Deploying hotspots across expansive outdoor spaces.
  • Data Throughput
    • The 5 GHz band allows for higher data transmission rates, supporting up to  1 Gbps, based on the hardware and configuration.
  • Line of Sight (LOS)
    • A clear LOS is critical for achieving maximum distance and performance, as the 5 GHz band is more susceptible to obstructions like trees, buildings, and terrain compared to lower frequencies.
  • Technology Standards
    • Utilizes wireless standards such as 802.11ac or 802.11n, providing robust performance with features like MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) for improved reliability and speed.
  • Directional Antennas
    • Equipped with highly Integrated 25dBi dual polarization dish antenna to focus the signal, enhance gain, and minimize interference.
  • Weather Resistance
    • Designed for outdoor use, with IP-rated enclosures that withstand various weather conditions, including rain, wind, and extreme temperatures.
  • Security
    • Supports advanced security features such as WPA3, AES encryption, and secure authentication to protect the link from unauthorized access.
  • Power Options
    • Powered via Power over Ethernet (48V), or DC12 ~ 24V Power Supply simplifying installation by reducing the need for additional power cables.
  • Regulatory Compliance
    • Comply with compliance with most local regulations governing the use of the 5 GHz band, default frequencies require no licenses or have restrictions.
  • Interference Management
    • The 5 GHz band may encounter interference from other devices like Wi-Fi networks, so proper frequency planning and channel selection are essential.
  • Environmental Factors
    • Weather, foliage, and physical obstructions can impact performance, making careful site surveys and proper alignment critical for optimal results.
