IgniteNet Announces the MetroLinq™ 60 Base Station Sector - World's First Commercial 60GHz Point to Multipoint Broadband System

IRVINE, Calif., June 3, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- IgniteNet, a global leader in 60GHz unlicensed radios, announced the new MetroLinq™ 60 Base Station Sector today – the world's first commercial 60GHz point to multipoint system. This new expansion of the MetroLinq™ product family allows for unprecedented cost points for deploying Gigabit connections worldwide and builds on IgniteNet's continued commitment to deliver high performance connections at a fraction of the cost of competitors.

The outdoor MetroLinq™ 60 Base Station Sector is the world's first 60GHz Multipoint Sector available on the market. The MetroLinq™ 60 Base Station Sector enables high capacity connections to multiple endpoints in the world-wide unlicensed 60GHz band, allowing ultra-fast deployment without the hassle of other frequency bands requiring a license. The MetroLinq™ 60 Base Station Sector also includes a second 5GHz radio which acts as a backup on a client by client basis to provide integrated redundancy without any additional hardware or complexity!

The MetroLinq™ 60 Base Station Sector can operate either as a stand-alone device or as a coordinated, cloud- managed device, easily meeting the requirements of any installation. The MetroLinq™ 60 Base Station Sector features a hybrid metal/plastic design built to withstand the harshest environments including precipitation, hot/cold weather and high/low humidity regions.

The MetroLinq™ family of products ushers in a new era of affordable, ultra high-speed connections that are perfect for next generation networks requiring high throughput and low latency such as Gigabit to the home/business, video surveillance including 4k cameras, and other similar applications – in many cases saving up to 90% the cost of traditional methods. In addition, the MetroLinq™ solutions thrive in high density environments where products in other unlicensed bands (900MHz, 2.4GHz, and 5GHz) are unable to operate due to ever-increasing interference. 

The MetroLinq™ 60 Base Station Sector is a perfect addition to the IgniteNet portfolio of products and continues IgniteNet's goal of providing the world with low-cost, high quality, ultra-fast network connections and services through innovation. Together with Cloud-managed wireless access points, switches, and fiber solutions, IgniteNet provides the most cost-effective and performant networking solutions available on the market today.
