Spec
Sheet
FlexWave™ Millimeter Wave (MMW) is a point-to-point millimeter wave transmission system that 
operates in the licensed 71 GHz to 86 GHz spectrum and provides fiber-speed wireless Line of 
Sight (LOS) communication links within a 1 - 6 km range. 
FlexWave MMW addresses the increasing shortage in metro access capacity by taking advantage 
of the recently allocated licensed 71-86 GHz spectrum. By using the unique propagation 
characteristics and the wide bandwidth of that spectrum, FlexWave MMW can support extremely 
high speed data transmission for short communication links.
FlexWave MMW provides fiber equivalent performance, 99.999% reliability and security, without 
the high installation costs and delays associated with inter-building fiber installations. FlexWave 
MMW can be engineered to operate in close proximity to other FlexWave systems so that many 
links can co-exist in the same vicinity without causing interference to one another. FlexWave MMW 
is driving Ethernet beyond the office and into the metro enabling the move towards a single, 
scalable, end-to-end communications technology.
