Licensed/Unlicensed

DragonWave wireless Ethernet systems are designed for use over a variety of international licensed and unlicensed frequency allocations. Frequencies currently supported include:

  • Licensed: 6, 11, 13, 15, 18, 23, 24 DEMS, 26, 28, 38 GHz; and
  • Unlicensed: 24 GHz UL.

DragonWave solutions deployed at 24 GHz UL are the only “near interference free” frequency with any licensing costs. The 24 GHz band is available only for point-to-point microwave and medical applications. This band is free of the device clutter other unlicensed bands have from cordless phones, garage openers, multi-point systems, wireless LAN’s and other consumer devices. The product was designed to overcome the uncertainty of service with the congested 2.4 GHz ISM and 5.8GHz U=NII bands, while offering the benefits of license exempt rapid deployment. As a result of these limitations and features, a 24 GHz UL solution is highly attractive for short haul applications.

Regardless of the frequency variant selected, DragonWave solutions can be configured and installed to match any customer requirement provided a highly reliable platform enabling 99.999% service availability.
