Motorola solutions helps lower broadband connectivity costs with new wireless ethernet bridges

Motorola Solutions, Inc. announced new additions to its PTP 200 Series portfolio of point-to-point (PTP) wireless Ethernet bridges – the PTP 230 and PTP 250. Both solutions leverage Motorola’s technology leadership in the unlicensed spectrum to offer reliable wireless broadband connectivity and backhaul in line-of-sight (LOS) as well as near line-of-sight (nLOS) conditions. They provide customers with affordable radio options that deliver higher data rates. This is ideal for enterprise customers who are in need of cost efficient and reliable solutions for building to building connectivity within a campus or beyond, video surveillance applications to protect assets, high bandwidth applications such as leased line replacement, and voice-over-IP telephony, as well as a robust and high speed last mile connectivity alternative.

· The new PTP 200 Series wireless Ethernet bridges use Motorola’s proprietary technology to deliver thea range, reliability and throughput capabilities required by applications today’s enterprise and residential users want.

· The PTP 230 operates in the 5.8 GHz unlicensed spectrum and delivers wireless broadband connections up to 50 Mbps and a range of up to 80 miles (129 km). It leverages orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) and GPS synchronization to avoid multi-path and self-interference, enabling extension of wireless broadband service to areas previously not served.

· The dual-band PTP 250 can operate in the 5.4 GHz or 5.8 GHz spectrum without requiring hardware changes. The radio uses multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) technology to deliver reliable LOS or nLOS paths and protect the signal from fading. Offering up to 220 Mbps of throughput, it is ideal when adding capacity for multimedia content or sending video from surveillance cameras to a control or command center. It is also ideal for establishing an effective building to building connectivity and replacing of costly leased line, and the high bandwidth also ensures ease of applications such as voice-over IP telephone within an organization.

Motorola’s expanded PTP portfolio is supported by an industry-leading One Point Wireless Suite of design and management tools that help IT departments reduce deployment time and improve network visibility.
