"…The pricing was so good that we decided to give it a try as our secondary redundant path radio. When we received the TrangoLINK-45 we decided to test-run it on our longest distance link over water. With a little re-alignment of the dishes it took us less than 15 minutes to have a working link still good for 12 Mbps over water at 42 miles…"

"…Microserv's success relies on our wireless equipment to be efficient, functional and affordable-Trango gear delivers all of this, which has enabled our business to grow every year. We plan to continue to deploy Trango well into the future and would recommend it for any business needing reliable wireless connectivity."
Travis Johnson, President
Microserv

"We have hundreds of FOX units in the field and many PTP links, including several Atlas5010 links which have been running for years now. We also have several TrangoLINK-45s, which work so perfectly well - these units are truly the most efficient and reliable units in the 45mb class. In all honesty, Trango Ethernet bridge platforms have provided enough evidence over the years to bring me to this conclusion - our clients have seen higher uptimes and a greater level of QoS than what dedicated land line technology has delivered."
Zachary R. Murray, Vice President, QX.net

"…After scouring the market for a cost-effective solution, not only was Trango gear top performing in its class, it was one of the very few product lines that could withstand our extremes of weather and severely limiting system design requirements."

High Speed 5 GHz Point-to-Point IP Wireless Bridge
TrangoLINK-45® is a carrier-class wireless Ethernet bridge radio that delivers up to 45 Mbps of sustained usable data throughput using OFDM technology. The IP-native bridge operates in multiple 5 GHz bands, which offers network operators highly flexible choices between multiple frequency bands in the convenience of one radio (5.2 GHz, 5.3 GHz, 5.4 GHz, or 5.8 GHz‡), and provides improved performance and valuable operational flexibility in high radio frequency (RF) noise floor environments.
Robust Performance in High Noise Floor Areas
The new interference mitigation feature, Auto RF RX Threshold, maintains superb wireless link integrity in high RF noise environments. When a TrangoLINK-45® radio encounters interference, it automatically aborts tracking the interfering signal if it is below the minimum signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) threshold, thus effortlessly detecting and passing Trango packets that are stronger than the minimum S/N threshold.
Trango designed this new interence-fighting feature to give operators a clear choice when looking for a robust wireless backhaul and to help combat the increasingly high noise levels in today's unlicensed frequency bands. TrangoLINK-45® is the most robust 5 GHz wireless backhaul radio on the market—nothing else can beat it.
Industry-Best Interference Mitigation Feature Set
- Built-in Auto RF RX Threshold for superior interference mitigation—maintains superb link integrity in high noise floor
- Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) in 5.3/5.4 GHz‡
- Automatic Repeat reQuest (ARQ)
- Forwarding Error Correction (FEC)
- Automatic RF Transmit Power Control (ATPC)
- Site survey tools
In addition to Auto RF RX Threshold, two other powerful interference mitigation features work to preserve link integrity and prevent dropped packets. First, the ARQ feature will resend packets that are lost due to random interference, which prevents higher layers like TCP from downshifting. Secondly, the radio will adaptively change modulation (Adaptive Rate Modulation) to a more robust modulation should the ARQ resends exceed a user specified level, keeping the link usable even in very high noise environments.
For additional interference resistance, TrangoLINK-45® features Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) that allows automatic detection of radar signal interference and dynamically switches to a clear channel while operating in the 5.3 and 5.4 GHz frequency bands (U-NII), thus providing greater signal integrity and data rate reliability.
