Cost-Effective Gigabit-Speed Capacity
The Tsunami wireless Gigabit Ethernet bridge is the world’s first 1000BaseSX system to
provide wireless gigabit point-to-point connectivity while preserving native IP. Tsunami
Gigabit meets the ever-growing demand for greater WAN/MAN bandwidth at a
significantly lower cost than fiber solutions.
Tsunami Gigabit is an ideal alternative to multiple T1s or fiber-optic cable and can be used
to extend or provide redundancy to existing fiber networks.
Tackle Your Toughest Bandwidth Problems
Tsunami wireless Gigabit Ethernet bridges deliver carrier-class wireless solutions that meet
critical connectivity needs for:
■Enterprise IT managers building out their private networks by creating WAN/MAN
connectivity for building-to-building and campus-to-campus locations
■Service providers extending fiber networks to create new connections for “last-mile” or
remote access requirements
■Internet Service Providers expanding the network backbone to establish new points of
presence (POP)
About the Tsunami Product Family
The Tsunami family of Ethernet bridges provides wireless solutions that meet the growing
demand for transparent and reliable high-speed network interconnectivity.
In addition to Tsunami 1000BaseSX, the world’s first license-exempt Gigabit Ethernet
bridge, the Tsunami product line includes:
Tsunami 10BaseT, a cost-effective, high-capacity alternative to multiple wireline T1
connections.
Tsunami 100BaseT/F, offering wireless Fast Ethernet connectivity for data
communications at full-duplex 100BaseT/F speeds.
