The SONAbeam™ 155-E
The SONAbeam™ Z
Download Datasheet

The SONAbeam Z series was designed to provide a lightweight, economical solution for short distance links. It is ideal for high capacity links up to 500 meters. The SONAbeam Z is housed in a low-profile, all aluminum enclosure suitable for outdoor operation in all weather environments as well as for indoor installation operating through a window. Featuring near-zero latency and packet loss, the SONAbeam Z transmits full-rate, full-duplex native Gigabit Ethernet and can also operate in protocol transparent mode in order to support custom datarates or carry both TDM and IP traffic on the same link.
