AltoPlex 60 GHz Wireless Bridge Starter Kit
For Physical Security & Smart City
The Wireless Bridge Starter Kit for Physical Security & Smart City Starter Kit is a pair of 60 GHz radios, a D621 and a C423, 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 link, and the D621 supports point-to-multipoint so you can add AltoPlex clients later. The C423 also provides wireless data and PoE for up to 2 devices at the remote end, powering cameras, Wi-Fi APs, and more.
Both 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 with D621 and up to 2 Gbps on C423
Low Latency
Sub 1ms latency
Adaptive Beamforming
128-element, phased array, beamforming antennas with 90° azimuth and 40° elevation scanning for maximum link resiliency and 2 Gbps range up to 400m (1,312 ft)
Multi-Gig Ethernet and PoE Connectivity
- 2.5 GbE port on the D621
- 3x gigabit RJ45 on the C423, 2x with PoE output for connecting cameras, Wi-Fi, Altowav radios, and more
Wi-Fi Management and GPS Location
Connect locally using the Wi-Fi network interface to manage the radios directly. Easily locate the radios using the integrated GPS receivers.
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. Our Open API and native Layer 2 architecture enable easy integration into operators’ existing networks
