Customer Testimonials

"…with the TrangoLINK Giga ODU having an on-radio digital LED diplay for RSSI, aligning really doesn't get any better than this. …we had a full over 100 Mbps inter-Island link running in less than 15 minutes without any tuning or adjusting modulation. Basically the same deal this time—quick and easy install, perfect performance"

  • Digital Microwave Radio Backhaul

    TrangoLINK Giga® is a high-performance digital radio frequency (RF) system that delivers a symmetrical bandwidth connection up to 620+ Mbps (310+ Mbps full duplex). This carrier-class RF microwave radio link is available in licensed frequencies 6 GHz, 10/11 GHz, 15 GHz, 18 GHz, and 23 GHz for interference-free operation. The TrangoLINK Giga® system is designed to provide high-capacity wireless IP connectivity for the most demanding networks including mobile and fixed wireless technologies such as UMTS, 3G, 4G, WiMAX, Wi-Fi, Edge and more.

    With industry-leading low latency, carrier-grade reliability, unequaled flexibility, and unmatched economics, TrangoLINK Giga® is designed from the ground up for high-capacity carrier Ethernet networks, mobile network backhaul, WiMAX backhaul, Internet service providers, broadcast applications, private enterprise wireless networks, and industrial wireless.

    Native Ethernet & Native TDM

    TrangoLINK Giga is ideal for mixed traffic services, or for easy TDM to IP migration. The 4 IP-native GigE ports have port priority assignment (VLAN) and QoS features supporting eight priorities and four queues. The 8 TDM-native E1/T1 ports always have priority over the GigE ports and are automatically added or dropped from data stream when connected or disconnected. Such built-in features and flexibility empower network operators to eliminate typical networking devices to saves thousands of CAPEX dollars, and simpler operation creates lasting OPEX savings.
