Link at 26 GHz for the price of free spectrum!
Prague, 21 May 2007 - STAR 21 Networks, a.s., the operator of the largest and the most growing FWA (Fixed Wireless Access) network in 26/28 GHz licensed frequency band in the Czech Republic, offers individual leased radio links in this spectrum for very attractive price.The wireless link is based on the technology from JRC (Japan Radio Co.) and supports transfer rate up to 30 Mbps on an Ethernet interface, full-duplex. Thanks to the dedicated 26 GHz frequency band, there is no danger of interference with other transceivers, which allows a permanent service quality to be guaranteed. Moreover, the countrywide STAR 21’s licence means the service can be delivered very fast, without waiting for individual frequency allocation, which is necessary for other microwave links working in the so-called paid frequency bands.
Local and regional Internet service providers (ISP’s) are the main potential users of the new service – to get access to the transit IP-networks, as well as to connect local wireless access points. This segment used to be served by free spectrum technologies, but with increasing interference (namely in the 2.4 GHz band) and growing demand for better quality and throughput, also the minor providers begin to find their way to licensed frequency technologies.
The typical utilization of STAR 21’s dedicated link in combination with an optical backbone network is on the following figure:
STAR 21 Networks offers dedicated radio links in 26 GHz licensed frequency band for the price so far common in the free spectrum to all its wholesale partners now.
