• High-resolution video transmission by the United States Military
• Critical control communications used in sub-atomic particle research
• Cellular backhaul by an international service provider

Terabeam’s Haverhill facility is the recognized leading provider of extremely high data rate wireless millimeter wave equipment with over 2,700 60 GHz systems deployed worldwide since 1996. The addition of the E-Band product increases the distances over which the GigaLink® family will operate, thus increasing the range of applications that can be served. Whereas the 60 GHz version of the GigaLink has a typical maximum distance of ~1km with 99.99% reliability, the E-Band version increases this maximum distance to over 3km while maintaining 99.99% reliability. Applications that benefit from this increased range include:

• Cellular backhaul
• Extremely bandwidth intensive applications such as medical record transfer, video transfer, and storage area network (SAN) transfer
• WiMAX and Wi-Fi® mesh municipal backhaul and interconnectivity

“We are very proud of our new E-Band product and also very excited about the initial demand for our E-Band version of the GigaLink,” said Dana Wheeler, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Terabeam’s millimeter wave operation. “Leveraging on our vast experience in millimeter wave design and manufacturing, we are able to provide our customers with products that they know will be reliable and robust. The extra range afforded by our E-Band product greatly expands the market and applications that we are able to address.”

Proxim Wireless now offers GigaLink systems that operate in the millimeter wave frequency bands of 57-66 GHz and E-Band. These portions of the radio frequency spectrum have been allocated by the Federal Communications Commission specifically for high-data rate connectivity. Terabeam is the industry pioneer and largest provider of military and commercial high capacity point-to-point communications systems operating in that millimeter wave spectrum.

In addition to high speed communication systems, Terabeam’s Haverhill millimeter wave facility offers a full suite of active millimeter wave systems, components and sub-components for millimeter wave communication, radar and sensing devices.
