Point-to-Point (PTP) Unlicensed Band Radios (UBR)

High-Speed Wireless 4G/5G Backhaul

Point-to-Point (PTP) UBR Radios for High-Capacity Wireless Backhaul

Point-to-point (PTP) Unlicensed Band Radios (UBR) deliver high-capacity wireless backhaul between two locations for service providers, enterprises and public networks. Each PTP radio link delivers fiber-like performance over long distances in unlicensed 5 GHz spectrum, making it ideal where fiber is unavailable, expensive, or slow to deploy.

Available in 700 Mbps to 2 Gbps models, PTP radios support 4G/5G backhaul, enterprise wireless backhaul between sites, and rapid-deployment networks. With 2x2 MIMO, up to 1024 QAM and IP67 housings, the portfolio delivers scalable fixed wireless backhaul for diverse deployment needs.

Point-to-Point Radios – Which Solution Fits Your Site?

When selecting PtP radios, think in terms of distance, throughput, and reliability. Long-haul backhaul needs extended 5 GHz or unlicensed band PtPs, while high-capacity enterprise links may rely on short-range, high-throughput radios. PtP radios serve as the “wireless fiber” between two points, so evaluate based on required throughput (Mbps/Gbps), distance (urban vs rural spans), and environmental conditions.

Short-Range PTP Radios for

Enterprise Wireless Backhaul.

Short-range PtP radios are ideal for connecting sites within a city or campus. PtP wireless radios deliver stable multi-gig performance with low latency, making them suitable for corporate branches, education campuses, and video surveillance backhaul.

Long-Range PTP Radios for

Carrier-Grade Backhaul

Long-range PtP radios provide extended reach over tens of kilometers with strong interference resilience. PtP backhaul radios are built for telecom operators, ISPs, and government agencies needing reliable, high-capacity backhaul for 4G/5G or mission-critical networks.

FAQs

Essential details about secure, long-distance point-to-point wireless connectivity

How far can a PtP wireless link extend?

The range of a PtP (Point-to-Point) wireless link depends on factors like frequency band, antenna type, transmit power, line-of-sight conditions, and environmental interference. Proper planning, including path profiling and Fresnel zone clearance, ensures maximum throughput and link reliability over extended distances.

Are PtP radios reliable for 4G/5G backhaul and enterprise connectivity?

Yes. Point-to-Point (PtP) radios are a proven solution for 4G/5G backhaul, ISP networks, and enterprise campuses where fiber is unavailable or expensive. With high throughput, low latency, and carrier-grade performance, they provide reliable, fiber-like connectivity over short, medium, and long distances. Many mobile operators and enterprises use PtP radios to extend networks quickly without compromising on quality.

What factors affect the performance of PtP radios?

The performance of PtP radios depends on key factors such as:

  • Line of Sight (LoS): Clear paths between radios deliver the best results.
  • Distance : Longer links may require precise planning.
  • Interference Levels: Nearby wireless networks and frequency band can reduce capacity.
  • Antenna Alignment :  Proper installation ensures maximum stability.

With the right model and deployment, PtP radios can maintain consistent performance across varied terrains.

When should I choose PtP radios over fiber?

PtP radios are the best choice when:

  • Fiber deployment is impractical or delayed due to cost, terrain, or permissions.
  • Rapid rollout is critical for 4G/5G sites, enterprises, or temporary events.
  • Redundancy is needed as a backup to existing fiber.

 They offer faster time-to-market and lower TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) compared to fiber in many scenarios.

How secure are Point-to-Point radios for sensitive data transmission?

PtP radios are built with enterprise-grade security protocols, including AES encryption, Management VLAN support, and authentication mechanisms. This ensures that data transmitted between two locations remains protected against interception or breaches. For government, defense, financial institutions, and enterprises, PtP radios deliver both high-capacity and secure connectivity without compromising compliance standards.
