Wireless Bridges
Wireless Ethernet Bridges

Hopper Plus wireless Ethernet bridge operates in either license-exempt 2.4-2.5835 GHz radio bands or in the 3.6 to 3.9 GHz licensed band, and uses proven direct sequence spread spectrum radio technology.  Simple integration with your existing network allows you to avoid the high costs of installing wire, paying licensing fees, or being billed with on-going monthly line charges.  Most Hopper Plus installations pay for themselves within a year.

Wireless bridges are in use around the world in wide area networking applications.  They can be used in almost any line-of-sight environment to replace, extend or connect wired Ethernet networks.  Leading-edge technology guarantees you superior security, reliability and cost-effective performance.

Unlike many competitors' models, which operate at less than half their advertised speeds, Hopper Plus bridges perform consistently at 80 to 85% peak efficiency.   Proprietary Dynamic Time Allocation (DTA) technique allocates variable time slots to busy stations when needed.  DTA does not waste valuable bandwidth allocating time to idle stations. All Hopper Plus wireless bridges use a polling protocol to eliminate the inefficient data collisions that plague more commonplace CSMA-based systems.  The combined benefits of Dynamic Time Allocation and polling make Hopper Plus Ethernet bridges the standard for efficient, cost-effective multipoint wireless networking.

Your customers are demanding more bandwidth. So you need a versatile high-speed solution for the last mile that won’t break the bank. Go wireless  break free of the confines of your current solution.

Wireless means freedom for your ISP business. Using unlicensed frequency bands, there are no recurring license fees. And because you own your infrastructure, there are no monthly line costs. The best part - you aren’t dependent upon the telephone company.

Wireless is simply the lowest cost, most easily implemented solution out there for the last mile. And our new portfolio of advanced wireless Ethernet bridges are your best way to realize the full benefits of high-speed wireless Internet access.

Available in the 2.4 GHz unlicensed frequency band for use in point-to-multipoint, point-to-point, and backhaul applications, our advanced wireless Ethernet bridges are the last mile alternative that give you the most bandwidth for your investment - and the freedom your business deserves.

Unmatched Versatility

Our advanced wireless Ethernet bridges are the only wireless solution you’ll need for deploying a high-speed wireless network. Unlike competitive offerings, our advanced wireless Ethernet bridges can be used to provide high-speed point-to-multipoint, point-to-point and backhaul connections. You’ll save money on your total network costs with only one piece of wireless equipment, save time installing only one system, and save the hassle of dealing with multiple wireless equipment vendors.

Easy To Use, Install and Manage:


Advanced wireless Ethernet bridges are easy to use, install and manage. After planning your wide area network, our equipment can be installed and activated in a matter of hours. 

With advanced wireless Ethernet bridges, modifying your network to accommodate growth in your customer base can be done effortlessly and quickly. Cost-effectiveness begins with your first network customer, as enhanced scalability allows you to easily add new customers. Advanced wireless Ethernet bridges support more remote users than any other competitive product.

Once your network is up and running, managing it is simple. our advanced wireless Ethernet bridges feature upgradeable software. Flash upgrades can be performed across your network with virtually no downtime, and no inconvenience to your customers. SNMP and TELNET allow for remote management of the Wi-LAN advanced wireless Ethernet bridges in your network. Install and configure them once and enjoy the freedom of managing each site remotely.

Not Your Ordinary Wireless Ethernet Bridge

Advanced wireless Ethernet bridges do much more than conventional wireless Ethernet bridges, making them the best choice for use in your high-speed wireless network. Unlike ordinary bridges that provide basic data transfer, our advanced wireless Ethernet bridges offer enhanced functionality with “smart” features improving data and network management capabilities.

Patented Technology:


Our advanced wireless Ethernet bridges “work harder” than competitive offerings because they’re built with  patented Multi-code Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum technology. MC-DSSS technology is a significant improvement over traditional Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) technology, offering constant service over distance through increased data rates and enhanced reliability. Proprietary data collision avoidance technology - dynamic polling - is also embedded in every  advanced wireless Ethernet bridge to further increase data throughput.

Superior User Management Features:


Advanced wireless Ethernet bridges offer user management features that you’ll find invaluable in your  business, including the ability to offer flexible service entitlement to your network users. As well,  advanced wireless Ethernet bridges are VLAN (802.1q) compatible and have a network protocol learning technology that supports seamless wide area network, LAN-to-LAN data delivery.

Guaranteed Security:


Advanced wireless Ethernet bridges are designed to prevent unwanted eavesdropping, thanks to built-in data scrambling that “disguises” data when traveling across the wireless network. Coupled with patented MC-DSSS technology (based on DSSS methods developed originally for the U.S. military) advanced wireless Ethernet bridges are the most secure in the industry. It is largely due to this security guarantee that advanced wireless Ethernet bridges are in use around the world in a variety of corporate, industrial, educational and government network applications.

Cost-Effective Performance

Advanced wireless Ethernet bridges give you the most bandwidth for your investment. Taking into account list prices and effective data rates of over 12 Mbps, advanced wireless Ethernet bridges offer the best price-per-megabit performance available today.

Ideal for High-Speed Internet Access

Advanced wireless Ethernet bridges can be used by ISPs in almost any line-of-sight environment to transfer voice, data and streaming multi-media content between multiple-site information networks.

Meet Growing Bandwidth Needs

Advanced wireless Ethernet bridges provide a cost-effective solution for the last mile and are ideal for serving the growing bandwidth needs of small and mid-sized enterprises, small office/home office, and multi-dwelling units, such as apartment buildings and industrial complexes.
