About the airMAX GigaBeam Long-Range
The GBE-LR (airMAX GigaBeam Long-Range) is a high-gain dual-radio 60 GHz and 5 GHz PtP bridge combining a 38 dBi 60 GHz antenna and integrated 5 GHz backup radio in a robust outdoor enclosure for reliable Gigabit wireless backhaul across East African last-mile and campus deployments. Measuring 415 × 415 × 303 mm (16.34 × 16.34 × 11.93") and weighing 1.4 kg (3.09 lb) without or 1.8 kg (3.97 lb) with mount, the GBE-LR features an aluminium and UV-stabilised polycarbonate enclosure with included pole mount. Powered by a Quad-core ARM® Cortex®-A7 with 256 MB DDR3 memory at just 11W maximum power consumption. The ±24kV ESD/EMP protection on both air and contact safeguards equipment in East African outdoor environments prone to lightning and electrical surges. Operates in PtP mode via bridge mode. Managed via the UISP application (web and mobile).
The 60 GHz main radio operates across 57,000–66,000 MHz with 2160 MHz channel bandwidth and 38 dBi antenna gain. The 5 GHz backup radio with 11 dBi antenna gain operates across standard U-NII bands worldwide, maintaining link availability during East Africa's tropical rain events and 60 GHz signal disruptions. WPA2 AES encryption secures all links. The 2.4 GHz management radio operating at 2412–2472 MHz (US/CA) and 2412–2472 MHz worldwide provides out-of-band management capability.
Advanced software features include:
Ideal for last-mile wireless backhaul, campus connectivity, building-to-building links, and distributed network deployments across Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, and the wider East and Central Africa region requiring 60 GHz 1+ Gbps PtP performance with integrated 5 GHz backup radio, 38 dBi high-gain antenna, ±24kV ESD/EMP protection, and UISP management at up to 2+ km range.
