Motorola’s Enterprise Mobility Solutions business unit has added the PMP 430 wireless broadband distribution and access network offering to its point-to-multipoint (PMP) fixed wireless broadband portfolio.
According to Motorola, the new offering delivers throughput rates and range in the 5.4GHz and 5.8GHz frequency bands, and it also enables businesses, government agencies and service providers to extend high-speed connectivity. The PMP 430 can be co-located with existing Motorola PMP wireless broadband networks to offer service providers greater connectivity from their existing access point locations.
The company said that the PMP 430 features orthogonal frequency divisional multiplexing (OFDM) technology that is expected to offer increased throughput, long range and line of sight (LOS) and near-line of sight (nLOS) performance for secure data, voice and video connectivity.
Offering more than 40Mbps of throughput per access point sector, the system can deliver more than 160Mbps of throughput from a single tower location. The PMP 430’s higher gain antennas and OFDM technology extends range up to 40miles when the subscriber module is configured with a passive LENS or reflector. In addition, it also offers latency of less than 3.5msec, allowing customers to provide Quality of Service (QoS) for latency-sensitive voice and video services.
Tony Cecchin, senior director for global product operations of Motorola Enterprise Mobility Solutions, said: Service providers and enterprises seek technologies that are field-proven, cost-effective and easy to deploy. Motorola’s wireless broadband technologies deliver reliable connectivity to millions of business and residential subscribers across the world and the latest PMP 430 solution builds on this experience, offering low latency and flexibility for residential access, leased-line replacement and infrastructure for mesh access networks.
The PMP 430 wireless broadband distribution and access network products are expected to be available worldwide in the fourth quarter of 2009.
