SAF FreeMile - Low-cost Carrier-grade Radio

Finally there is a carrier grade microwave radio without the carrier-grade pricetag!

SAF FreeMile 24GHz is a new generation licence-free ISM band point-to-point wireless bridge that combines carrier-grade performance and excellent value for money. 

Key benefits of FreeMile 24GHz class licensed radios include:

  • fast data speeds - 100Mbps full-duplex (100Mbps throughput in each direction of transmission)
  • licence free (no ACMA annual licence fees, no licensing fees)
  • very low latency - maximum 0.2ms latency at full speed with 64 byte packets. Low latency ensures fast response time from the server, as well as more stable traffic management and synchronisation which is especially important for voice and video traffic (CCTV, VoIP, skype applications). In comparison, latency of 2.4GHz and 5GHz (5.4GHz and 5.8GHz) wireless links typically exceeds 2ms
  • low risk of interference due to low congestion, narrow transmission beam and short link distances

Beamwidth Comparison 24GHz vs 5GHz and 2.4GHz

  • hitless ACM (Adaptive Coding and Modulation) for increased link up-time
  • QoS (Quality of Service) for traffic prioritisation
  • carrier-grade reliability and performance at a fraction of the price
  • excellent value for money - price of a complete 100Mbps full-duplex 24GHz FreeMile licence free microwave link is under $6,500. This includes two full outdoor radios, two 300mm size antennas, two PoE injectors and two AC/DC power supply units. Larger antenna sizes are available.

SAF FreeMile low-cost point-to-point 24GHz wireless microwave links are an excellent alternative to 2.4GHz and 5GHz class-licensed radios, especially in areas where 2.4 and 5GHz spectrum is congested or for customers that require faster data speeds, lower latency for voice or video applications and higher reliability than 2.4GHz and 5 GHz radios can offer. 

Not only is the equipment affordable, but it also can save thousands of dollars a year on ACMA licence fees for users in high density areas like Sydney, Wollongong,  Melbourne, Geelong, Brisbane and the Gold Coast.
