Licensed Microwave Radios

CFIP- Leading Edge Ethernet microwave radios

CFIP is a new generation of IP based point-to-point microwave radio solutions that combine high reliability, fast data speeds, flexibility and efficiency. CFIP radios, and especially the full outdoor solution, cut costs on many levels:

  • Lower ACMA license fees due to very high spectrum efficiency or no license fees with 24 GHz
  • Cost-effective use of solar energy due to very low power consumption
  • All-in-one build eliminates the need of shelter/ rack space
  • No indoor unit, no RF cables, fewer spares required
  • Quick & simple installation and maintenance with user-friendly web management
