The RidgeWave® by BEC 7000 R26 MaxRange Gigabit LTE Outdoor router adapts LTE Category 18 technology capable of delivering peak data rates of 1.2 Gbps downlink and 150 Mbps uplink, making it the fastest commercially available outdoor LTE router today. Operators seeking to accelerate and simplify the deployment of new applications and services over public carrier networks or private networks across licensed spectrum assets, shared spectrum (CBRS) need to look no further.
Purpose-built for reliability, the 7000R26 incorporates a ruggedized enclosure, industrial-grade components built to handle extreme temperatures, moisture, and dust for mission-critical connectivity in the harshest environments. Performance is no exception with Gigabit Ethernet Interface, PoE (Power over Ethernet) and high-gain 4X4 MIMO antenna technology for increased capacity, higher throughput, and extended coverage.

Innovative MIMO Antenna Technology

Operators need innovative antenna technology to meet capacity and throughput demands in challenging deployment scenarios for industrial applications. A 4×4 MIMO high-gain embedded dual-polarization/dual slant antenna technology ensures faster and efficient bi-directional transmission for maximum bandwidth and coverage. The 7000 R26 is optimized to work in LOS (Line of Sight) or NLOS (Non-Line of Sight) conditions, where either visual line-of-sight or Fresnel zone clearance is obstructed (or both) where desirable signal strength is difficult to achieve.

Rugged Weatherproof Design

The RidgeWave® by BEC 7000 R26 is built to last, fully ruggedized with industrial grade components purpose-built to withstand extreme weather conditions and harsh rugged deployments.. Unique to BEC devices are GORE® Vents for pressure equalization, humidity, and airflow, this accompanied with lighting/ESD Protection and the IP68/UL 50E enclosure ensure protection against dirt, harmful ingress of water and extreme temperatures for years of dependable operation.

24/7 Cloud Management and Network Visibility

The BEC 7000 R26 integrates seamlessly with BECentral®, BEC’s cloud-based remote management platform as a complete solution, for managing large-scale UE deployments. Administrators can remotely provision, monitor, upgrade, and troubleshoot devices from a single centralized location in real-time. BECentral® extends network visibility with RF signal quality measurements ssuch as: RSSI, RSRP, RSRQ, SINR, CQI, MCS, MIMO Rank Indicator, PCI, Cell ID. Additional functionality includes, network status/APN, historical analysis/charts, detailed reporting, proactive alerts/notifications, OTA/Firmware management (individual or batch),, Usage/Data Control, multi-user account management and a well-defined API to facilitate application development or integration into other platforms.
