E-Band receives European Union and Russian Federation certifications for its E-Link 1000EXR gigabit wireless products
E-Band Communications Corporation, the leading manufacturer of ultra-high capacity point-to-point wireless transmission systems, announced that its E-link 1000-EXR Gigabit wireless systems have received Notified Body Expert Opinion, validating its performance conformity with the European R&TTE Directive 1999/5/EC and compliance with the ETSI Recommendation EN 302 217-3. In addition, the radio received a certificate of homologation from the Russian Ministry of Communications, enabling E-Band to export the 1000EXR to CIS countries.
"This past year carriers, mobile operators and enterprise customers in Europe, Russia and other CIS countries have shown significant interest in our gigabit Ethernet 70-80 GHz backhaul products, that have been deployed in 4G networks in the U.S.," said Saul Umbrasas, Chief Marketing Officer for E-band. "The ability to export our latest gigabit radios to over forty additional countries opens up a major market opportunity to serve the burgeoning demand for bandwidth that is driven by expanded use of smartphones. The CE Mark and Russian Federation certifications for the 1000EXR systems are essential ingredients for enabling deployment of our gigabit wireless transmission systems by our valued customers in Europe and the CIS."
Earlier this month, E-Band announced that in 2009 it achieved U.S. market share leadership, as carriers deployed high-capacity wireless backhaul infrastructure to support 4G networks. This achievement was made possible by implementing innovative and highly advanced MMIC (microwave monolithic integrated circuit) technologies.
"Our customers appreciate the carrier class features we've designed into our products," said Jimmy Hannan, director of product management for E-Band. "We provide the lowest latency in the industry at less than 5µs and highest output power of +22 dBm, which translates into the longest distance and highest reliability network performance. In addition, our E-Link 1000 EXR's ability to transparently handle jumbo packets for multi-media applications has been well received by both enterprise customers and telecom service providers."
