Hybrid Optical-Radios

HyBridge™ Series (4-beam auto-tracking systems, GigE, with radio or radio-ready)


HyBridge LXR-5 and LX

 

LightPointe’s innovative HyBridge™ LXR-5 and LX combines the speed and security of industry-leading 4th generation optical wireless technology with radio frequency transmission. As the pioneer and wireless innovator since 1998, 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 LXR-5 and LX 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 LXR-5 is a turn-key solution, with integrated radio. The LX version is identical, however you can select the radio of your choice now or in the future or add the LX to an existing radio bridge, thus protecting your investment while upgrading to Gigabit Ethernet capacity.

HyBridge LXR-5 (integrated radio)

Advanced 4th Generation Free Space Optics Features and integrated radio



Free Space Optics & System Features:


  • High Speed full-duplex Gigabit connectivity for highly secure, reliable transmission up to a mile/~1600m.

  • Industry exclusive  4-beam system, Auto Tracking and automatic power control.

  • 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:

  • HyBridge LXR-5 includes a turn-key radio which uses flexible 5.4/5.8 GHz frequencies for widespread unlicensed usage, and uses worldwide 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.
