The latest addition to the SONAbeam family, the 2500-E delivers up to 2.5 Gbps of full duplex bandwidth. While other 2.5 Gbps wireless solutions pair two systems together at added expense, the SONAbeam 2500-E offers the highest capacity wireless connection in an economical, single link solution. Utilizing a pair of GigE interface ports to provide 2.5 Gbps, the 2500-E provides full-duplex links via an indoor multiplexor.
Typically operating at distances up to 1 km, the SONAbeam E series is extremely versatile. It's compact, yet rugged aluminum housing is equally at home outdoors in challenging weather as it is indoors operating through a window. The SONAbeam E can be easily transported to installation sites making it ideal for situations that require rapid deployment. The E can be ordered as a Flyaway kit complete with carbon-fiber tripods and water-tight carrying cases, ideal for disaster recovery operations. Like all SONAbeams, the E series offers full-rate, full-duplex bandwidth. The E Series supports native Ethernet and offers the added flexibility of protocol transparent operation to support custom datarates.
