Agere Systems debuted the ORiNOCO Point-to-Point Radio Backbone Kit this week. The bridge-in-a-box is supposed to make it a simple, affordable way to provide a high-speed (11 Mbps) connection for two locations up to six miles apart.

Agere ORiNOCO Radio Backbone ORiNOCO PtP Radio Backbone Kit
Say goodbye to expensive leased lines and T1 feeds folks—Radio Backbone Kit includes all the components and support required to set up a wireless bridge. Pricing starts at $2,795 and includes two OR-500 Radio Backbone Termination Nodes, two Yagi antennas and all the required cables and accessories (shown left). The kit also includes a simple-to-follow, step-by-step installation guide, designed to allow network technicians to set up the link in less than a day. Pre-configured and pre-certified by the factory, the Radio Backbone Kit operates in the unlicensed 2.4 GHz band and requires no additional governmental certification.

ORiNOCO's PtP radio backbone kit utilized Adaptive Dynamic Polling Protocols enabling more reliable wireless links in RF noisy environments by creating and maintaining a master/slave link between the two OR-500 units. Continuous Signal Quality Monitoring eases diagnostic troubleshooting and system management through remote testing of RF signal levels, noise levels and signal quality. Routing functions are built-in, so there's no need to connect a separate router at the remote location.

The OR-500 Radio Backbone Termination Node is compatible with the ORiNOCO OR-1000 Remote Outdoor Router and OR-1100 Central Outdoor Router systems. This makes it possible to expand Wi-Fi networks without replacing all of the original equipment.
