PTP 550/550e Radios

5 GHz Unlicensed Band Solution featuring DCS & AES

PTP 550 is a Point to Point Gigabit throughput solution based on 802.11ac Wave 2 operating in 5 GHz wireless space, addressing the gigabit capacity needs for high speed backhaul solutions in short range and middle range applications provides up to 1.36 Gbps throughput with ARQ and asymmetric non-contiguous channel aggregation across 5 GHz band.

The PTP 550 solution draws its attributes from Cambium Networks’ Point to Point products such as PTP 650/670 and PTP 450i. Each PTP 550 radio is enclosed in a rugged IP66/67 rated metal enclosure, which protects the radio from extreme conditions and solar radiation.

Features

Dynamic channel selection (DCS)
With Dynamic Channel Selection, 550 systems constantly optimize the channel of operation to maximize link reliability and performance. Responding to the radio interference environment, PTP 550 will search for the clearest spectrum and move to it seamlessly. The customer benefits from best available throughput with limited spectrum in the most challenging environments.

RF Bands 
Wide-band operation 5.170 to 5.980 GHz (Allowable frequencies and bands are dictated by individual country regulations)

Channel bonding 
Each channel can have independent channel bandwidth that provides for flexibility in channel selection, band selection and address throughput requirements. Using two 80 MHz channel and achieves 1.36 Gbps.
