Product Introduction
BodaCOM 4131 CRT18 is a compact outdoor Sub-6GHz fixed wireless access (FWA) unit featuring an integrated 18 dBi high-gain directional antenna, engineered for efficient medium-range broadband connectivity. Designed for point-to-point (PtP) wireless links and last-mile broadband access, it provides a streamlined and infrastructure-light solution for operators and system integrators seeking rapid deployment wireless connectivity, simplified installation, and reduced network complexity. As a high-performance wireless alternative to fiber deployment, it enables fast and flexible network rollout without traditional cabling.
Operating within the 4.9-6.0 GHz frequency band, the CRT18 supports both licensed and license-exempt spectrum configurations, enabling flexible deployment across diverse regulatory environments in Europe, North America, and the Middle East. As a carrier-grade wireless broadband solution and a reliable wireless alternative to fiber deployment, it is ideal for rural broadband expansion, enterprise network extension, industrial wireless networking, and short- to mid-range wireless backhaul applications where stable performance, low latency, and cost efficiency are critical.
Built on advanced 2T2R MIMO architecture with IEEE 802.11ac outdoor radio technology, the device delivers high spectral efficiency, optimized throughput performance, and adaptive modulation, ensuring reliable operation even in challenging RF environments. The integrated 18 dBi antenna supports transmission distances of up to 10 km, providing focused beam alignment, improved signal stability, and enhanced interference resistance without the need for external antenna configuration, making it an efficient integrated antenna wireless solution and a proven wireless alternative to fiber deployment for scalable broadband deployment.
The rugged IP67-rated outdoor enclosure with a die-cast aluminum housing ensures dependable performance under harsh environmental conditions, including heavy rain, dust, high humidity, and extreme temperatures. By combining the antenna and radio into a single enclosure, the CRT18 minimizes RF cable loss, reduces installation time, simplifies alignment procedures, and lowers overall total cost of ownership (TCO). It stands out as a cost-effective wireless alternative to fiber deployment, traditional microwave systems, or large-scale 5G rollout in regions where reliable broadband infrastructure must be deployed quickly with controlled capital investment. For projects prioritizing speed and affordability, this wireless alternative to fiber deployment delivers exceptional value and operational simplicity.
The BodaCOM 4131 CRT18 delivers a stable, cost-efficient, and deployment-friendly medium-distance wireless broadband connectivity solution, balancing performance, reliability, and operational simplicity within a compact outdoor platform designed for modern fixed wireless networks. As a leading wireless alternative to fiber deployment, it supports operators in building efficient, future-proof broadband networks with minimal investment and maximum agility.

Solution
Sea Monitoring
Multiple long range wireless bridge systems are deployed on land to cover different maritime zones. Fixed monitoring stations within each zone transmit data to the land-based central base station based on proximity. Temporary mobile stations connect to the central station nearby, while those without direct land access link to nearest fixed stations. Monitoring vessels can either automatically switch to fixed stations as they move away from the coastline, or navigate between multiple fixed stations during their voyages.
