In today’s hyper-connected world, the demand for high-capacity wireless backhaul continues to rise. Whether you’re building next-generation 5G small-cell networks, connecting dense urban infrastructure, or delivering enterprise-grade connectivity where fibre is impractical, millimeter wave wireless backhaul solutions are unlocking new possibilities. At the forefront of this technology is WaveSTREAM V-Band Backhaul Radio from WaveSight — engineered to deliver blazing data speeds in a compact, flexible, and cost-effective form.
? What Is WaveSTREAM V-Band Backhaul?
WaveSTREAM V-Band radios are wireless backhaul radios operating in the V-Band spectrum (57 GHz – 66 GHz) — a license-free millimeter-wave frequency range ideal for high-capacity, short-range links. These radios are designed to provide up to 1 Gbps full-duplex throughput and reliable connectivity over distances up to approximately 2.6 km, making them perfect for wireless backhaul, enterprise connectivity, or dense urban deployments.
Compact and lightweight, WaveSTREAM radios support both point-to-point (PtP) and point-to-multipoint (PtMP) configurations, enabling flexible network design tailored to various application needs.
? Key Features & Benefits
? High-Capacity Throughput
WaveSTREAM supports up to 1 Gbps full-duplex throughput per link, fulfilling the bandwidth demands of 5G small-cells, video surveillance, business connectivity, and enterprise networks.
? Optimized for Urban Deployment
Operating in the V-Band 57 GHz–66 GHz range, WaveSTREAM radios provide interference-free operation with pencil-width beams and multiple non-overlapping channels, yielding excellent spectrum reuse — especially valuable in dense cityscapes.
? Flexible Topology Options
WaveSTREAM supports both:
Base Station Radios (BTS) for PtMP networks (serving multiple CPE units),
PtP links for dedicated backhaul connections,
Compact CPE radios for customer-site connectivity.
?️ Robust & Secure Connectivity
Built for outdoor use with rugged IP67-rated enclosures, these radios withstand harsh environmental conditions. Security features include AES 128-bit and 256-bit encryption, SNMP management, and robust QoS controls.
⚡ Built-In Timing & Synchronization
WaveSTREAM radios offer optional integrated timing like IEEE 1588v2 and SyncE, enabling precise synchronization critical for mobile backhaul networks and advanced performance.
? Integrated Power & Management
With built-in Layer-2 Ethernet switching, dual PoE options, and QoS support, WaveSTREAM simplifies powering remote units (e.g., cameras) and prioritizing traffic for services like voice, video, and data.
? Typical Applications
WaveSTREAM V-Band radios are ideal for:
5G Small-Cell Backhaul: Supporting dense mobile networks with high throughput and low latency.
Urban & Enterprise Backhaul: Connecting buildings, campuses, and city infrastructure where fibre is costly or unavailable.
