MBR 179




MARITIME BROADBAND RADIO


The Maritime Broadband Radio is a smart antenna designed for use in maritime applications where digital
high-speed reliable communication and data transfer are crucial for efficient and safe operations. The MBR
179 operates in the 5 GHz frequency band and has proven high capacity communication over distances in
excess of 45 kilometres.

Resilient communication                                             Enclosed housing
With its unique design the MBR enables high speed, high             One MBR unit consists of a completely enclosed housing
