Ubiquiti Networks has announced XtremeRange7 -- the world's first 700 MHz Wi-Fi radio using Ubiquiti's patent-pending Frequency Freedom technology. The XR7 was designed specifically for 700 MHz mobile Wi-Fi test networks as well as long-distance, outdoor broadband wireless and public safety applications.

The XR7 is a compact radio module supporting 32-bit mini-PCI Type IIIA standard and features high output power (600 mW), extended temperature operation, and an innovative receiver design that provides excellent noise immunity and sensitivity performance.

The XR7 is fully compatible with widely available public Linux drivers and can instantly transform many existing 802.11-based products into market-ready 700 MHz solutions through simple integration of the modular mini-PCI radio. The XR7 leverages a variety of advanced features including scalable channel bandwidths of 5/10/20/40 MHz, advanced QoS, and 256-bit AES security.

It is also a viable WiMAX replacement solution for OEM's and carriers as it is based on field-proven reliable silicon and software solutions from Atheros Communications and has been tested to link beyond distances of 50 km and can achieve TCP/IP data rates greater than 50 Mbps.

The XR7 radio uses Ubiquiti's Frequency Freedom technology, which transforms standard 802.11 silicon into a powerful radio platform capable of operation at practically any frequency imaginable. Ubiquiti is able to accomplish this through innovative non-standard radio integration and firmware design. Through the integration of high-end RF design with advanced 802.11 silicon, the XR7 is able to provide a carrier-level 700 MHz radio solution that achieves cost-savings and leverages the tremendous feature sets of the evolved 802.11 standard as well as seamless compatibility with a wide variety of public Linux drivers.
