AltoPlex Wireless Bridge Starter Kit
For Last Mile and Campus
The D621 Starter Kit is a pair of 60 GHz radios with integrated 128-element beamforming antennas that deliver best-in-class performance and resilience in a compact form factor. It ships pre-configured as a point-to-point (PtP) link and supports point-to-multipoint so you can add AltoPlex clients later.
D621 radios are carrier-grade, manufactured in the USA and feature IP67 weather-sealing for reliable outdoor operation. Pre-configured radios, auto-aligning antennas, and included PoE injectors make deployment fast and simple.
High Capacity
Up to 3.8 Gbps aggregate Layer 2 throughput
Low Latency
Sub 1ms latency
Adaptive Beamforming
128-element, phased array, beamforming antenna with 90° azimuth and 40° elevation scanning for maximum link resiliency and 3.8 Gbps range up to 400m (1,312 ft)
2.5 Gigabit Ethernet
Built-in 2.5 GbE port for maximum throughput
Wi-Fi Management and GPS Location
Connect locally using the Wi-Fi network interface to manage the radio directly. Easily locate the radio using the integrated GPS receiver.
Dense Network Ready
60 GHz spectrum with beamforming and TDMA for extremely reliable dense networks
Security
AES-128 encryption with automatic secure key distribution
Carrier-Grade
IP67 rated enclosure and built in USA for reliable, long-term operation in the field
Simple and Rapid Installation
Altowav’s antennas auto-align for easy installs, and our Open API and native layer 2 architecture enable easy integration into operators’ existing networks
