The WaveSpan series of wireles routers are versatile and powerful designed from the outset with a rich feature set that makes deploying last mile or community broadband solutions fast, easy and cost effective.
The WaveSpan routers utilise 802.11a/b/g unlicensed radio frequencies, including 5.8Ghz Band C, deregulated by Ofcom earlier this year. By using the unlicensed bands (2.4Ghz, 5.4-5.7Ghz and 5.8Ghz) the overall total cost of ownership is considerably reduced and with speeds of up to 105Mbps WaveSpan is a serious competitor to leased line, laser or similar optical wireless products.
