Motorola, Inc. has announced the addition of the PTP 500 Series of Wireless Ethernet Bridges to its portfolio of MOTOwi4 Fixed Point-to-Point (PTP) solutions. The PTP 500 Series is made for deployments that require secure, high-performance backhaul or broadband connectivity and deliver carrier grade availability in obstructed, long-distance and harsh weather environments. Operating in the 5.4 and 5.8 GHz bands at Ethernet data rates up to 105 Mbps and distances up to 155 miles (250 km), the PTP 500 solutions give network operators and service providers reliable, midrange throughput for non-line-of-sight (NLOS) connectivity.

"Offering service providers and network operators a complete portfolio of wireless broadband solutions and planning tools ensures that they can deploy the right network to meet specific user requirements, regardless of weather conditions or RF environments," said Robert Baker, general manager, Point-to-Point, Motorola. "The PTP 500 Series of bridges are designed to reliably support building-to-building connectivity, voiceover-IP, video surveillance, telemedicine, disaster recovery, emergency services and high-speed backhaul."
