Wireless Solutions Backhaul IP Traffic, Resulting in Over 90 Percent Cost Savings Compared to Fiber

New York, NY. – November 28, 2011 – Today announced that BTS Communications, an ISP operating in

NYC, has deployed µ-GWave to support IP traffic across NYC and surrounding metropolitan region. The

multi rate gigabit microwave link provides reliable connectivity to BTS customer base at a significant cost

savings over traditional fiber.

BTS Communications is an established ISP that specializes in high speed internet, IT support and wireless

networks. Its services include point-to-point IP connectivity and VoIP at speeds and uptime as reliable as a

wired network.

The company needed a backhaul solution capable of achieving full gigabit speeds to support their growing

network. Utilizing various fiber point-of-presence (POP) in and around NYC. After exploring several

alternative radio products, Dr. Benjamin Epstein, PhD, Chief Scientist and Phil Marie, Chief Operating and

Networks Officer at BTS Communications found that µ-GWave was the only solution capable of achieving the

necessary bandwidth at the range required. Using innovative microwave technology, provides an very high

speed fiber alternative backbone with extremely low latency.

“With the µ-GWave link up and running, we were able to seamlessly transport bandwidth to the same location

at less than one-tenth of the price we were quoted for symmetrical fiber service locally, In addition to being

extremely cost-effective, the µ-GWave allows for unparalleled range at fiber-equivalent speed.”

µ-GWave is the first microwave radio, operating in the GHz spectrum, capable of transmitting Multi-rate

gigabit Ethernet in a single, compact, all-outdoor unit. Utilizing Ethernet switching, digital modem and signal

processing technologies, µ-GWave is designed to offer true future-proof access and aggregation capacity

without ever having to add on a second radio or climb a tower to achieve full-rate gigabit transmission.

“The µ-GWave is the only solution enabling full rate gigabit connectivity in the GHz frequency bands using a

single, all-outdoor unit,” s gigabit wireless links offer service providers a cost-effective means of extending

fiber backbones to broaden service and ultimately better meet the needs of subscribers.”
