Perseus Deploys Fastback Networks to Enable High Speed Connectivity in Obstructed Urban Areas

San Jose, California — June 29, 2015  Fastback® Networks today announced that Perseus, a leading global provider of managed services for high-precision, high-speed connectivity, has successfully deployed the Fastback Intelligent Backhaul Radio™ (IBR) to extend fiber based services via wireless connectivity with full SLA support to a top financial services firm. The site location for the deployment is surrounded by fully obstructed Non-Line-of-Sight (NLOS) conditions in the restricted confines of lower Manhattan. With 760 Mbps aggregate throughput in NLOS, Perseus’ IBR deployment is delivering fiber-equivalent performance and reliability to fully meet SLAs in conditions not normally conducive to wireless.

“The Fastback IBR is a perfect option for fiber extension applications where fiber is not available or economically viable, and where traditional microwave solutions would not make the grade in terms of performance, reliability and cost effectiveness,” said Andrew Kusminsky, COO & CSO, Perseus. “This gives us the ability to serve customers across a variety of industries with a product and technology that’s quick, efficient, and inexpensive to deploy anywhere in the world.”

“Reliable, high capacity connectivity is the lifeline for organizations in financial services, and essential industries like energy and transportation, healthcare, education and entertainment,” said Kevin J. Duffy, CEO & Co-founder, Fastback Networks. “As Perseus has demonstrated, the Fastback IBR enables extension of high speed wireless connectivity services to more locations with greater certainty. This makes the IBR ideal for extending or providing backup for commercial services.”

Many firms in New York and other high-density areas face situations where Line-of-Sight is not favorable for business continuity and bandwidth. Even with two city block-sized buildings obstructing the wireless path, Perseus was able to establish a high-capacity connection in less than an hour using the IBR, which reflected the wireless signal off of lower Manhattan’s Freedom Tower and neighboring structures to successfully make the required NLOS shot.

In using the Fastback IBR, Perseus and its client benefit from:

  • Immediate wireless deployment – Perseus was able to replace the client’s fiber connection with an equivalent carrier-grade wireless Ethernet connection within a day, with two Fastback IBR units mounted, auto-aligned and self-synchronized inside of one hour. With the IBR, there is no need for time-consuming frequency planning or laborious manual alignment.
  • Reliable high performance in NLOS – The IBR delivered a carrier-grade 760 Mbps aggregate performance and reliability for the Perseus client in complete NLOS conditions. The deployment also benefited from the IBR’s industry leading low latency (‹500 µsec).
  • Impervious to interference – The IBR is highly tolerant to the reflective environments and high levels of interference typically found in downtown areas. The IBR’s interference mitigation features dynamically self-adjust to the best available frequencies via advanced signal processing techniques, with no need for manual readjustments.

Additional IBR advantages accruing to Perseus include a single wireless connectivity device for Any Line of Sight (AnyLOS™) conditions, install-and-forget operation, easy over-the-air upgrades, low capital cost, and reduced labor expenses over the deployment lifecycle. The solution can also be quickly and easily deployed in a cost-effective manner among any of the clients Perseus has around the globe.

Sub10 Systems, the developer of millimetre wave point-to-point radio equipment, has further expanded its market presence in the Czech Republic and Slovakia through the addition of another new distribution partner, VanCo.cz. The company will be distributing the Sub10 Systems portfolio of E band and V band point-to-point links for a wide variety of applications including small cell backhaul for 3G and LTE networks, wireless internet service provision and private applications such as building to building connectivity, fibre extension and CCTV backhaul.

Tomas Bergmann, Channel Director at Sub10 Systems, comments: “VanCo has been working in the telecommunications market for more than 15 years and has evolved its product and service portfolio as the market has developed. From an initial focus on fixed telecommunications operators, the company has expanded its customer base to include mobile telcos, ISPs and private and governmental organisations. This makes the team perfectly placed to support the wide range of applications that our millimetre wave radios are suited to, and we are very pleased to add VanCo to the Sub10 network of partners as we continue to expand our business throughout the Czech Republic, Slovakia and beyond.”

As the Eastern European market continues to grow, including the rollout of widespread 3G and LTE networks, the Liberator 60 and 80 GHz point-to-point radios provide a small, lightweight, quickly deployable backhaul solution for operators needing to quickly expand their geographical coverage and customer base. Providing up to 1 Gbit/s of full duplex capacity, and requiring minimal or no licensing fees, they also support a wide range of other applications where short haul Ethernet point-to-point connectivity is required.

Milan Vonšík, Executive Director, at VanCo, comments: “One of the reasons we have added the Sub10 radios to our product family is the versatility of the Liberator platform: it can be used for connecting two buildings, for backhauling video surveillance networks, and it also provides the high capacity and quality of service needed for carrier class backhaul of mobile and fixed telecommunications traffic.
