Class-licensed Microwave Radios
Class-licensed radio links can be a good alternative to licensed-band microwave in low density areas (5 GHz) and even high density areas with high data speed requirements (24 GHz).
SAF CFIP 24 GHz Class- licensed Microwave Radios
CFIP 24 GHz licence-free solutions are ideal for use in high density areas where the license cost is very high and 2.4 and 5 GHz bands are too congested or don`t provide sufficient data speeds or suitable functionality.
Another benefit of SAF CFIP 24 GHz microwave radios is the ability to use 56 MHz channels which allows to achieve the full capacity of 366 Mbps full-duplex. The only other frequency band in Australia that allows use of 56 MHz channels is 18 GHz, but according to ACMA regulations, 18 GHz radios can only be used for link distances over 2km.
There is an ACMA limitation on the maximum EIRP for 24 GHz links (100mW), however, we are still able to achieve up to 2.5 km link distances.
Due to their low power consumption 24 GHz radios (and CFIP radios in general) are also ideal for customers using solar energy. 100 Mbps radios draw maximum 25W per unit, 366 Mbps radios draw maximum 35W.
24GHz licence-free microwave radios are available from our local stock.
