San Jose, CA -- Ubiquiti Networks, a leading innovator in outdoor
wireless broadband solutions, today announced the general availability
of the XtremegeRange3 -- the world's first 3GHz 802.11 Atheros based
mini-PCI radio module incorporating Ubiquiti's patent-pending Frequency
Freedom Technology. The XR3 is available in three different models with
frequency operation spanning 2.7GHz to 3.7GHz. The XR3 was specifically
designed for long-distance, outdoor broadband wireless applications and
features high output power (400mW), extended temperature operation, and
an innovative receiver design, which provides excellent noise immunity
and sensitivity performance. |

The XR3 is fully
compatible with the publicly available Atheros Linux MADWIFI driver and
can instantly transform existing 802.11 based products into market-ready
3GHz solutions by simply changing out the mini-PCI radio. The XR3
leverages a variety of advanced features including scalable channel
bandwidths of 5/10/20/40 MHz, compression, and 256-bit AES security. It
is also a viable Wi-Max replacement solution for OEMs and carriers as it
is based on field proven reliable hardware and software solutions from
Atheros Communications tested to link beyond distances of 50km and
achieve TCP/IP data rates greater than 60Mbps.
"We believe XR3 based solutions will introduce a new wave of
cost-effective, high-performance, flexible 3GHz products for the carrier
market. The radio performance of the XR3 has been shown to exceed the
performance of available WiMAX offerings in terms of range and
throughput. In addition, it is based on a hardware and software
foundation (from Atheros Communications) that has been proven in the
field for many years in the outdoor PtP and PtmP markets. It provides a
practical and high-performance path for OEM's and carries, to quickly
and efficiently realize scalable, powerful 3GHz networks," said Robert
J. Pera, President of Ubiquiti Networks.
