Wireless Links Go BATS Over New Antenna Tracking System

As a result of the recent integration of BridgeWave’s high-capacity gigabit wireless links with the automatic antenna aiming and tracking technology developed by Broadband Antenna Tracking Systems (BATS), service providers, government, and enterprise users, now have the power to deploy gigabit Ethernet networks for fixed-to-mobile or mobile-to-mobile applications. The antenna tracking technology is made possible via BATS’ pan-tilt aiming chassis to which BridgeWave’s wireless radios are mounted.

Known for delivering reliable, gigabit Ethernet wireless connections for fixed, point-to-point applications, BridgeWave strengthens their product portfolio by integrating all radio systems with BATS industry-first antenna tracking technology. This cements BridgeWave’s leading position as the only company delivering wireless full-rate gigabit Ethernet systems that provide continuous network connectivity during movement on one or both ends of the network.

The integrated solution takes constant readings from the BridgeWave radio, forwards them to the BATS controller, which in turn creates search patterns and predictive algorithms that automatically locate a desired connection point and establishes communications, tracking one or both ends of the link. The technology behind this solution greatly reduces the time to establish a connection. Manually deploying wireless broadband networks without this technology requires additional personnel and takes hours to set up for perfect alignment. Radio systems based on the integrated BridgeWave/BATS solution are easily deployable—removing the need for additional personnel. The system will automatically locate and lock signal position within one to two minutes, providing instantaneous gigabit connectivity.

This new offering allows BridgeWave to expand applications for its wireless gigabit Ethernet links to include offshore ship-to-shore, ship-to-ship, and armed services communications, including, fixed-to-remote applications where communications are established between a command center and remote facility; and mobile-to-mobile applications where one or two ends of a network are in constant movement. In situations where temporary communications is needed, response teams will now have the ability to quickly deploy and configure a high-speed, high-capacity wireless network.
