SL-60 is an integrated 60 GHz 360 Mb point-to-point antenna and radio, designed for high security, interference-free service in a range of environments, including urban settings and tunnels with a maximum range of 2km. “SL-60 operates in the unlicensed band at a frequency much higher than any commercially deployed system,” says Wayne Pleasant, Field Application Engineer. “It’s 6 by 6 inch size and 8 watt power consumption allows it to run on POE in the tightest locations. It does not look like an antenna at all, and operates like any other piece of an interconnection network; it is ‘virtual cable’ without any digging. Transit authorities love it.”

“This was a problem installation the BPD and the MBTA had been struggling with for years, how to cross the tracks with fiber to get to a station. The cost of shutting down service and trenching would have been enormous”, says Patrick McNamara, Regional Manager for Electro-Wire. “We installed the radio in less time than the design review.”
A number of projects are in consideration at MBTA and other agencies. Contact Jim Cichy at jim.cichy@hubersuhner.com for further information.
