| LightPointe Releases the FlightExpress 100 LightPointe has introduced the FlightExpress 100, the newest member of its Flight family of products. The FlightExpress 100 is specifically designed for enterprise customers with two or more buildings requiring connectivity at distances of 200 meters or less. The FlightExpress 100 is suited for "quick hop" high-speed wireless links, such as across a parking lot or a public street. In these scenarios, the FlightExpress 100 provides substantial deployment improvements in time and budget over fiber-optic cable, which often involves installation challenges, lengthy delays or exorbitant trenching costs. Additionally, the FlightExpress 100 provides substantially higher throughput at a full-duplex rate of 100Mbps than 802.11 radio frequency bridges that operate at half-duplex rates of 11Mbps or 54Mbps. Weighing less than nine pounds, the compact-sized FlightExpress 100 includes Power over Ethernet (PoE), which eliminates the need for additional electrical wiring to power the system. Since making its debut on LightPointe's FlightLite 100 offering, the PoE feature has won significant popularity with enterprise customers, making installations easier and more economical. In addition to the FlightExpress 100 and FlightLite 100 and FlightLite 100E, LightPointe offers the FlightStrata optical wireless product line with advanced multi-beam auto tracking and speeds up to 1.25Gbps; the FlightStrata 100 XA, the first integrated Fast Ethernet optical wireless link combined with license-free 5.8-GHz RF technology; and FlightSpectrum, carrier-class, Gigabit Ethernet products. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Networking News :: home page |
