NEW PROTOCOL FOR LIGOPTP MIMO EQUIPMENT

  LigoWave is announcing a release of a new v6.70 open beta firmware for LigoPTP MiMo equipment. LigoWave has developed a new protocol named W-Jet MiMo 2™, which allows to increase the distance and performance of a link. This ground-breaking technology delivers 180 Mbps half-duplex and increases the distance of the link to more than 100 kilometers. It also makes the link more robust in a noisy environments where other equipment would not even associate or provide a really low throughput. 

10 km test link in Vilnius, Lithuania with W-Jet MiMo 2 firmware

  LigoWave has made 10 kilometre test link in a very noisy area with many equipment working on the same 5 GHz frequency. With the new W-Jet MiMo 2 protocol it was possible to reach 140 Mbps of throughput (see Picture 3). The settings of the link were as follows:

• Channel: 5210 MHz;
• Channel width: 40 MHz;
• Data rate: 270 Mbps;
• Transmit power: 25 dBm;
• Signal levels on a master and remote side: -47;-49/ -50;-52.

Successful tests in Mexico

  Some customers also had a chance to test the latest firmware and see what results they can achieve on long-distance links. LigoWave customer in Mexico was happy to try out the new beta software and achieved such results on their 3 links:

• Tule(hill) - Culagua(hill) - 70 Km link - Throughput 74 Mbps
• Culagua(hill) - La viga(hill) - 47 Km link - Throughput 122  Mbps 
• La viga(hill) - Neveria(hill) - 77 Km link - Throughput 70  Mbps
