Fast Ether net Connectivity in a Wireless Solution
Tsunami 100BaseT/F is a wireless Ethernet bridge providing greater capacity and
significantly lower cost than using dedicated DS-3 leased lines.
Using high-quality radio transmitters, standard IP links, and low-cost Ethernet switches,
Tsunami 100BaseT/F Ethernet bridges greatly reduce the latency and processing
overhead associated with DS-3 connections to IP routers and switches. Because it is
wireless, Tsunami 100BaseT/F eliminates wire/fiber installation costs and recurring
monthly fees—delivering carrier-class performance quickly, at an affordable price.
In addition to the Fast Ethernet connection, Tsunami 100BaseT/F also provides a separate
T1 connection, allowing you to extend PBX connectivity between buildings without
additional leased-line costs.
Extend or Enhance Your Network Virtually Overnight
With Tsunami 100BaseT/F, there are no leased-line hassles or natural or man-made barriers
to overcome. Easy installation and operation allow network planners to quickly implement
full 100BaseT/F Fast Ethernet capacity between networks, making it the ideal solution for:
■Organizations building out networks to include WAN connectivity between buildings,
campuses, and remote locations
■Establishing high-speed connections between Internet or network service providers and
their customers
■Service providers extending existing fiber and wire networks
■Organizations or service providers seeking network redundancy for mission-critical
connections
