Product Details
Salinas 24GHz
Third-generation full outdoor SDR engineered for maximum performance with zero spectrum licence costs — deployable on solar power, designed for link budgets that demand exceptional system gain.
🔗 24 GHz Unlicensed Point-to-Point Link
Salinas 24GHz
Full Outdoor Software Defined Radio with Linux OS — built for high-performance links with maximum reliability, exceptional system gain, and superior resistance to interference. 1 Gb/s FDD with asymmetric channel capability, deployable off-grid via solar panels.
Highlights & Benefits
1 Gb/s FDD Throughput
Delivers full gigabit full-duplex capacity at 24 GHz — no licence overhead, no spectrum fees. Ideal for high-demand point-to-point backhaul where wired infrastructure is impractical.
Asymmetric Channel Support
Unique asymmetric channel allocation allows you to assign more bandwidth in the direction of dominant traffic flow — maximising link efficiency for video, broadcast, or data-heavy deployments.
AES 256-Bit Encryption
Military-grade AES 256 encryption is built in as standard, ensuring all transmitted data remains fully secured against interception — essential for government, defence and critical infrastructure links.
Full Outdoor SDR — No Indoor Unit
The all-outdoor Software Defined Radio design eliminates the need for a separate indoor unit, reducing installation cost and cable losses while improving overall link reliability in harsh environments.
Solar & Off-Grid Capable
Extremely low power consumption makes the Salinas 24GHz deployable on solar panels or battery-backed systems — perfect for remote sites, temporary installations and green field rollouts.
QPSK to 4096 QAM Adaptive Modulation
Automatic adaptive modulation from QPSK all the way to 4096 QAM continuously optimises throughput vs. link margin — maintaining maximum capacity when conditions allow, stepping down gracefully under interference.

Typical Applications
Enterprise Campus Backhaul
Connect multiple buildings or campuses at gigabit speeds without the cost and disruption of laying fibre — ideal for factories, hospitals, airports and university campuses.
HD & 4K Video Contribution
The high throughput and low latency profile makes Salinas 24GHz well suited for live broadcast contribution links, stadium wireless cameras and OB van connectivity.
Last-Mile & Urban Access
Deploy rapid last-mile links in dense urban environments where spectrum licences are difficult to obtain or cost-prohibitive. No waiting period — install and go live immediately.
Government & Defence Links
AES 256 encryption and robust interference resistance make this suitable for secure government, law enforcement and defence links that demand both speed and confidentiality.
Remote & Off-Grid Sites
Ultra-low power consumption enables solar-powered or battery-backed deployments at remote monitoring stations, border posts, or temporary command centres with no mains power.
Temporary & Rapid Deployment
Full outdoor SDR form factor and zero licence requirements mean links can be deployed, commissioned and taken down rapidly for events, disaster response or construction site connectivity.
