Ethernet Direct Announces the First Industrial 5.8GHz WiMAX Wireless System

WiMAX refers to Worldwide Inter-operability for Microwave Access which has become a trend nowadays in the telecommunications technology. WiMAX provides wireless transmission of data using a variety of transmission modes, from point-to-multipoint links to portable and fully mobile internet access up to 72 Mbit/s symmetric broadband speed without the need for cables. The technology is based on the IEEE 802.16 standard and Ethernet Direct offers the 802.16d standard.

FWI-714W operates in 5 GHz ISM band with no licensing fee required in most countries. Housed in IP67 weatherproof enclosure, FWI-714W offers Non Line of Sight (NLOS) coverage, high spectral efficiency, adaptive modulations allowing robust RF network design and deployment. FWI-714W comes with scalable design delivers a true broadband solution of up to 200 Mbps and servers up to 2,400 users per cell.
