Introduction
The Marquee Bridge 49 (MB-49) is a complete 4.9 GHz
wireless point-to-point (p-p) or point-to-multipoint (p-mp)
system that links two Ethernet LANs together. It consists
of two high-gain directional antennas and a pair of
OFDM radios in a rugged outdoor enclosure. They
connect to the LAN's Ethernet Switch on each end with
an outdoor-rated Ethernet cable ordered separately. It is
ideal for connecting two office LANs together, or for
linking a WIPOP site to an Internet backbone. The
Marquee Bridge 49 uses TurboCell software which
supports VLAN bridging (802.1q protocol).
The Marquee Bridge 49 will accommodate virtually an
unlimited number of client MAC addresses on each side
of the link. The unit currently supports a single channel.
