Overview
Connected operations across utilities, electric co-ops, and industrial enterprises are straining legacy networks. Real-time data, secure communications, and always-on applications demand more than yesterday’s infrastructure. Latency, bandwidth limits, cyber risk, and coverage gaps are no longer acceptable. You need reliability and resilience at scale. The BEC MX-220 5G Industrial Fiber Gateway delivers precisely that.
The MX-220 5G redefines industrial and utility connectivity with fiber-class performance and broad-spectrum flexibility, operating across public Tier 1 carrier spectrum, 800 MHz, CBRS shared spectrum, and private Anterix Band 106. This enables secure, resilient broadband for substations, AMI backhaul, and field assets, and for industrial sites such as manufacturing lines, oil and gas facilities, logistics yards, and smart campuses, allowing you to tailor deployments for optimal coverage and performance.
