| Ubiquiti Networks Introduces New XtremeRange9 Radio Solution Ubiquiti Networks has announced the introduction of the XtremeRange9, (XR9). The XR9 is the first carrier-class modular radio for the 900MHz unlicensed band. It's intended to expand the portfolio of Ubiquiti Networks Xtreme Range series of high-performance, carrier-class 802.11 wireless mini-PCI modules introduced in February of 2007. The XR9 differentiates itself from other 900MHz radio solutions through its patent-pending advanced noise immunity architecture. After many hours of customer interactions, field testing, and accumulated knowledge gained through detailed analysis of 900MHz unlicensed band radio performance over the past couple years, Ubiquiti RF engineers were able to successfully develop an unlicensed carrier class 900MHz radio that is capable of sustaining solid link performance in the harshest of environments. The XR9 features 600mW output power, extended operation from -50C to +90C, industry best receiver sensitivity, 5/10/20 MHz channel width support, and is capable of throughput exceeding 30Mbps and link distances beyond 50km. The XR9 is based on the Atheros 6th generation 802.11a/b/g chipset and includes advanced features such as compression, QoS, and the latest WPA security standards. They have been rigorously tested with the Atheros MADWIFI driver as well as various Linux routing operating systems including Mikrotik, StarOS, Antcor Ikarus, and OpenWRT. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Networking News :: home page |
