Hybrid Optical-Radios

HyBridge™ Series (single-beam systems, GigE, with radio or radio-ready)


HyBridge SXR-5 and SX

LightPointe’s innovative and compact HyBridge™ SXR-5 and SRX combine the speed and security of industry-leading 4th generation optical wireless technology with radio frequency transmission. Based on over a dozen years of wireless experience, we’ve designed these bridges for maximum performance and unbeatable ROI. You will have the peace of mind of knowing that your network has the industry’s fastest and most secure wireless technology and availability up to 99.999% — under all weather conditions. This makes the HyBridge SXR-5 and SRX a safe future proof investment.


These links include Adaptive Rate technology and LightPointe’s exclusive DualPath™ feature, which automatically and seamlessly switches to a lower bandwidth mode if weather conditions warrant, then automatically goes back to “full throttle” optical transmission for performance and security surpassing all other wireless solutions.


The SXR-5 is a compact, turn-key solution with integrated radio. The SX is a radio-ready solution, enabling you to select the radio bridge of your choice now or in the future or add the SXR-5 to an existing/slower bridge, thus protecting your investment in legacy equipment while upgrading to Gigabit Ethernet capacity.

LightPointe Communications, one of the develops and
manufactures high capacity point-to-point broadband solutions for telecom carriers, businesses and government
agencies. Leveraging over $80 million in R&D and product development and more than a decade of industryacclaimed
customer support, LightPointe has deployed state-of-the-art systems worldwide. With its industry-unique
laser and radio frequency experience, one of LightPointe’s key competitive advantages is its ability to provide
customers with the ‘best of both worlds’ in wireless data transmission — the use of highly secure, ultra-fast laser
transmission and robust wireless/RF solutions. In addition, the company’s products do not require frequency
licensing, and there are no recurring costs as with leased-line data transmission solutions. LightPointe’s products
provide fiber-like throughput at a fraction of the cost of fiber, and can be quickly installed in applications ranging from
LAN backbone to carrier LTE backhaul/picocells to uninterceptable private networks for enterprise, defense and
homeland security. LightPointe is the leader in broadband laser transmission and hybrid laser/radio solutions

HyBridge SXR-5 (integrated radio)


The HyBridge SXR-5 is a complete, turn-key solution which includes the optical wireless unit, a radio and antenna. This innovative data bridge includes advanced features such as POE operation, flexible network interfaces, web browser management and SNMP support. Whether connecting buildings in a large business, hospital or school campus setting, or deploying backhaul solutions in 4G/LTE Picocell infrastructure, these bridges provide cost-effective Gigabit connectivity and industry-leading ROI.


 

Optical Wireless/System Features:

 

  • High speed full-duplex Gigabit connectivity for highly secure,  reliable  transmission up to a half mile/~750m.

 

  • DualPath™ architecture (patented) for up to 99.999% network availability, even in dense fog.

 

  • Integrated optical, radio and antenna components for a complete solution (easy install and  attractive design).

 

  • AirePex™ Intelligent Switching (patented) includes an algorithm to change between optical and RF transmission, preventing unnecessary switching.

 

  • Intuitive AireManager™ Web interface allows links to be configured and monitored from a network computer.

 

  • SNMP V1/2c support and alarm reports via SNMP traps.

 

  • Enhanced link distances due to use of optical wireless and RF.

 

 

Radio Frequency Features/Options:

 

  • Includes a turn-key 5.4/5.8 GHz radio, which uses widespread unlicensed 5.4/5.8 GHz frequencies and license-free optical spectrum.

 

  • Throughput is 150 Mbps half duplex.

 

  • Maximized Distance DualPath™ feature enables longer distances due to rate adaptive use of multiple  bands.

 

  • Superior RF technology via both OFDM and 4 antenna/2x2 MIMO technology (higher data rates and lower  interference in congested areas).

 

  • Superior QoS due to Ethernet Port Flow Control and intelligent packet queuing, providing priority to voice/video traffic when switching to alternative RF path.

 

  • Channel Shifting operates at frequencies different from those used in unlicensed 802.11 networks, for increased security. Links  are undetectable by most 5 GHz devices.

 

  • AES 256 encryption for optimum security.


HyBridge SXR (radio-ready)


The HyBridge SX is the perfect future-proof bridging solution. The units include the same advanced next-generation optical wireless technology and electronics as the SXR-5, yet provide the enterprise or carrier the flexibility of adding the units to an existing radio link, or selecting the radio of their choice now or in the future. This can protect your organization's investment in legacy equipment, and also increase the bandwidth and performance of your network today.
