Fast, Synchronous Wireless Links for Smart Grid and Other Critical Infrastructure
Safe and reliable management of critical utility and transportation infrastructure requires robust real-time communication and control. Integrating wireless links into these precise and high-speed operating environments is uniquely challenging. The next generation, SwiftGrid™ solution is an extremely powerful, flexible and cost effective platform developed to meet this challenge head on.
Unrivaled Speed and Precision
From its inception, SwiftGrid™ was designed to meet or exceed emerging Smart Grid and IEC 61850 standards. It is the first cost effective synchronous radio platform that provides ultra-low and fixed latency of less than 4 milliseconds, making it completely transparent and compatible with all legacy TDM and future IP protocols.
SwiftGrid™ technology is now available a part of Carlson Wireless' powerful LongHaul™ point-to-point backhaul product line providing up to 24 Mbps (full duplex) throughput and robust links at distances beyond 100 km.
The Power of Flexibility
Multiple OFDM modulation rates and channel sizes along with channel center tuning allow for unprecedented spectrum flexibility and non-line-of-sight operation. The LongHaul™ with SwiftGrid™ technology operates in multiple unlicensed frequency bands including 900 MHz, 2.4 GHz, 5.2 GHz, 5.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz as well as in the licensed 700 MHz and 4.9 GHz public safety band. LongHaul™ point-to-multipoint configurations and 180 MHz to 280 MHz and 6 GHz frequency bands will soon be available.
