Description

The DLB ECHO 5 was designed for cost-effective and long distance connectivity (up to 50 km). It has a unique mounting system designed to utilize standard satellite offset dish antennas to provide increased system gain and distance. These antennas are readily obtainable in most countries, thereby reducing freight and inventory costs. The aluminum housing improves RF performance, allowing solid communications in interference laden environments as well as providing strength against the elements.

DLB ECHO 5 is a universal device that can be used in a two different ways: with a 60 cm offset dish antenna provided by LigoWave or with a 3rd party offset dish antenna.

The product is equipped with a high output power MIMO radio (up to 29 dBm) and when coupled to LigoWave’s 27 dBi dual-polarized, 60 cm, offset satellite dish antenna it is ideal for ultra long range wireless communication.

Equipped with LigoWave’s dual firmware image feature, remote software upgrades are assured even if a power failure interrupts the process. The device will restart using the prior firmware in the event of an upgrade failure.

The enclosure is made of aluminum and polycarbonate plastic with UV inhibitors to provide years of outdoor exposure in direct sunlight without cracking and survive in harsh weather conditions. Environmentally tested to meet an IP-67 rating as well as vibration, temperature, drop, salt, fog, and electrical surge standards to ensure a high level of reliability and backed by a two-year warranty. It is equipped with a grounding lug and a grounded 24-volt PoE to allow a professional installation, resistant to electrical surges.

OS

The DLB OS is a highly functional and easy to use operating system. This powerful and flexible operating system ensures flawless operation of all DLB hardware devices and effortless setup for those deploying the networks.

• Smart polling data transmission protocol (iPoll 3)
• Dual-firmware image support
• Responsive HTML 5 based GUI
• 170 Mbps capacity
• 80,000 PPS rate
• IPv6 support
• Infinity Controller compatible

 

INFINITY CONTROLLER

The Infinity Controller is LigoWave’s proprietary element management system that facilitates network installation, configuration, control, maintenance, monitoring, and expansion. The Infinity Controller is designed to work with Infinity (NFT), LigoDLB, and LigoPTP NEs. It offers full functionality with the Infinity series and LigoDLB series, but only supports the monitoring feature on LigoPTP NEs. The PTP configuration feature is currently undergoing development.
