Defense networks require wireless technology that can be deployed quickly and operate in harsh environments with interference. One of the biggest challenges in deploying wireless networks is antenna alignment. Electronic beam steering (EBS) automatically solves this problem in seconds. EBS combines the ease of deployment with the performance of highly directional antennas.

The PTP 700's beam-steering capabilities can also direct RF nulls toward interfering sources, increasing the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and improving communication performance. The beam-steering ODU can be used at both ends of a link for optimal performance or at one end, combined with another PTP 700 ODU operating in the same band.

In addition to providing rapid link alignment and setup, the PTP 700's beam steering capability reduces the need for electromechanical positioners on shorter links. Eliminating electromechanical positioners reduces the overall solution cost and complexity, eliminates a potential point of operational failure, and substantially reduces the cost and weight of transporting radio nodes, especially in tactical situations.

Features of the PTP 700 Beam Steering ODU:
• Intelligent antenna coverage of 120° azimuth and 30° elevation
• Maximizes gain through beamforming
• Enables rapid tactical deployment
• Minimizes system cost, complexity, and weight
• Integrated spectrum analyzer, enabling real-time and historical spectrum monitoring
• Rugged design, tested to MIL-STD-810H and IP66/67 environmental specifications
• Interoperable with other PTP 700 models operating in the 4.4–5.875 GHz band
