MNL-500267-001 – Rev ED2 1 Aug 2004

Introduction

The Marquee Bridge 49 (MB-49) is a complete 4.9 GHz

wireless point-to-point (p-p) or point-to-multipoint (p-mp)

system that links two Ethernet LANs together. It consists

of two high-gain directional antennas and a pair of

OFDM radios in a rugged outdoor enclosure. They

connect to the LAN's Ethernet Switch on each end with

an outdoor-rated Ethernet cable ordered separately. It is

ideal for connecting two office LANs together, or for

linking a WIPOP site to an Internet backbone. The

Marquee Bridge 49 uses TurboCell software which

supports VLAN bridging (802.1q protocol).

The Marquee Bridge 49 will accommodate virtually an

unlimited number of client MAC addresses on each side

of the link. The unit currently supports a single channel.
