Horizon Quantum System

With 2 to 4 Gbps per link, Horizon Quantum delivers the next generation in packet microwave technology. Quantum is a step change in capacity, nodal intelligence, spectral efficiency and operational simplicity; all while occupying only half a rack unit and consuming the lowest power per bit of any solution today. As a result, operators can stay thin in the air and in the rack as they launch new IP-based services. As the next evolution of DragonWave's split-mount radio, Quantum offers a seamless upgrade path for existing Duo and AirPair deployments.
