  Connect two or more buildings without cable installations. LaserLinks offer fast, secure and reliable Wireless Network LAN connections in the same manner as fiber optic cable.

Wireless high bandwidth LAN-to-LAN connections - Don’t let cabling costs keep you from extending your LAN to the farthest corners of your facility.


Expending your Local Area Network (LAN)

Expending your Local Area Network

Network cable is expensive to run to outdoor areas such as parking lots, streets, and into areas within buildings that don’t already have installed network cable. And because installing cable takes time, it’s virtually impossible to quickly set up a LAN connection.

Lasers or robust RF bridges are a good solution to connect a broadband network between two buildings. Wireless installations are secure, easy to install and quickly set up. They offer high net bandwidth up to 1000 Mbps and LAN extensions up to 1,600 m.

Black Box offers the best of both worlds in wireless data transmission: choose between our LaserLink familiy offering highly secure, ultra-fast laser based wireless transmissions (FSO) and robust wireless RF backhauls operating within the new 60/70 GHz frequency.

60/70 GHz RF wireless LAN kits

The 60/70 GHz RF wireless LAN kits provide reliable, secure point-to-point connections, which are hardly affected by bad weather conditions like heavy snowfall and fog.60 GHz Wireless LAN Kit.png
They are a real innovation in MMW (millimeter wave) communication networks. The MMW technology and the vast available spectrum in the band provides fiber-like transmissions (GigE), far surpassing the performance of microwave solutions.

60/70 GHz RF Wireless LAN Kits from Black Box
  • Reliabile operation up to 900 meters and above 
  • High data throughput up to 1.6 Gbps without any system latency 
  • "Pencil beam" interference and security 
  • Web based or SNMP Management 
  • Easy to install and align, powered via PoE. 
  • Network flexibility (Point-to-Point, Repeater, Mesh) 
  • 60 GHz is license free in most countries, 70 GHz has low cost, rapid license availability
