REDMOND, Wash. -- Terabeam Corporation, a leading provider of broadband wireless systems, today announced a new addition to its free space optics (FSO) product line, the Terabeam Avara™ system.
Avara is the latest in a line of high bandwidth, carrier-grade systems developed by Terabeam that delivers the following features and benefits to carriers and businesses:
Designed for outdoor installations and provides bandwidths of 125/155 megabits per second (Mbps), independent of transport protocol, which is equivalent to over 80/100 T-1 circuits respectively
Ideal for dense metro deployments in the range of 20 meters to 1 kilometer
Operates at a wavelength of 850 nm and is completely eye safe, with a Class 1 IEC/CDRH rating, which means no warning labels or access restrictions are required
License-free operation worldwide alleviates the need for spectrum licensing or frequency planning
Provides reliable performance using high performance lasers with a mean time between failure (MTBF) of one (1) million hours
Lightweight, advanced industrial design includes an integrated scope for ease of alignment and high/low power settings for optimized performance
Includes built-in management functionality using Secure Network Management Protocol (SNMP) version 1
“Our new Avara system is a very cost-effective solution for high-bandwidth connectivity at ranges less than one kilometer,” said John Schuster, chief technology officer of Terabeam. “The system is ideal for deployments in dense urban applications such as mobile wireless backhaul, single customer access, multi-tenant building access, enterprise E1/T1, Fast Ethernet extension and LAN-to-LAN or campus connectivity.”
“Customer deployments can require both short and long range links, as well as different levels of functionality”, said Dan Hesse, chairman, president and chief executive officer of Terabeam. “Avara allows us to provide customers with a lower cost solution when the longer ranges and full feature set of our Elliptica™ product may not be needed.”
