BridgeWave Communications Registers and Installs First E-Band Link Based on New FCC Rules.SANTA CLARA Santa Clara, city, Cuba Santa Clara (sän`tä klä`rä), city (1994 est. pop. 217,000), capital of Villa Clara prov., central Cuba. , Calif. -- BridgeWave Communications, the leading supplier of gigabit wireless solutions, announces the registration and installation of the first E-Band gigabit wireless link using a small form-factor one-foot antenna. The original E-Band (71-86 GHz) frequency rules required the use of two-foot antennas that are bulky bulk·y adj. bulk·i·er, bulk·i·est 1. Having considerable bulk; massive. 2. Of large size for its weight: a bulky knit. 3. Clumsy to manage; unwieldy. , costly, and can be challenging to install. BridgeWave co-sponsored an FCC (1) (Federal Communications Commission, Washington, DC, www.fcc.gov) The U.S. government agency that regulates interstate and international communications including wire, cable, radio, TV and satellite. The FCC was created under the U.S. petition to optimize the E-Band rules for mainstream applications by allowing small form factor antennas that are lower cost and much easier to mount and align. The FCC substantially adopted the recommendations last year, paving the way for a new class of E-Band products. "Despite the compact design of the radio units, this link spans an impressive four-mile distance," stated Gregg Levin lev·in n. Archaic Lightning. [Middle English levene, levin; see leuk- in Indo-European roots.] , BridgeWave's Sr. VP of Product Operations. "The cost and installability improvements enabled by the new rules are key drivers for broadening the base of applications for E-Band links."
