AirConnect® 8232–HG
5G sub-6 GHz, 2.5&3.5 GHz Outdoor Router
The BEC AirConnect® 8232-HG 5G sub-6 GHz, 2.5&3.5 GHz Outdoor Router unlocks diverse fixed wireless access (FWA) market opportunities and provides subscribers with a broadband experience surpassing your rivals. Invest in technology innovation from BEC that enables the delivery of extreme data speeds, lower latencies, broader coverage, and increased network capacity.
Designed for performance, the 8232-HG combines 2.5 and 3.5 GHz mid-band to balance coverage and throughput. Uplink improves on 2.5 GHz with higher transmit power, wider UL bandwidth, and better propagation. Downlink capacity increases through carrier aggregation using 2.5 GHz as the primary cell and 3.5 GHz as the secondary cell, enabling higher sustained speeds.
