EtherFlex
6 - 38 GHz All-Outdoor Microwave Point-to-Point Wireless Links

BridgeWaves EtherFlex family of microwave radio systems has been designed specifically to
meet the requirements of service providers, government and private networks operators who
require highly-reliable Ethernet connectivity over medium-to-long range distances.
With a base capacity of 100 Mbps full-duplex, EtherFlex provides higher initial capacity than
other all-outdoor microwave solutions and is easily upgradeable to full duplex 364 Mbps (ETSI)
or 314 Mbps (ANSI) capacity with a single software license key. Compact and lightweight, the alloutdoor design affords rapid fitting on any REMEC style antenna mount. Considerations for radio
power further simplify the installation process, with Power over Ethernet and a single CAT5 cable
connection to the radio. PoE injectors are included with the radio and are fully weather-sealed for
outdoor mounting with hardware for pole or wall mounting.
EtherFlex provides the highest link budget for an all-outdoor solution, yielding greater link
availability and/or the longest link distances. Higher radio link budgets translate into smaller
antenna sizes, which help to alleviate overall system operating costs.
EtherFlex
with 12 (30cm) antenna
BridgeWave is the market leader in providing highly reliable, high capacity wireless solutions for
next generation 4G networks. The EtherFlex family of products leverages our expertise in designing
and bringing to market carrier-class microwave and millimeter wave solutions that have been
accepted and used in thousands of installations worldwide.
