Key Features



The SONAbeam™ 155-M is optimized for high-availability links from 300 to 5700 (3.5 miles) meters and supports most standard protocols including OC-3, STM-1, Fast Ethernet and FDDI.

With the sturdiness and stability to overcome the elements, the SONAbeam™ M series was designed with carriers' needs in mind. Featuring a rugged, cast-aluminum, environmentally sealed housing and up to 50 times the power of competing products, the SONAbeam™ 155-M is the toughest, most powerful system currently available. Quadruple-redundant transmitters combined with a 20cm receiver to further ensure transmission integrity.

Higher power translates into greater link range or better weather availability. This results in fiber-like availability at practical link ranges in all weather conditions. The entire SONAbeam™ series includes an SNMP monitoring application that allows users to monitor important system information in real-time.
