Incredible performance
ZSpark PTMP series point to multipoint system delivers +600
Mbps throughput via its unique and powerful RF design
that supports up to 256QAM modulation and 31 dBm
output power. 720 MHz dedicated CPU ensures swift data
processing and high packet per second rate (PPS) which
is important for real time data transmission applications.
Gigabit Ethernet port supporting 802.3af/at standard
support allows powering the devices with PoE switches.
Weatherproof IP67- standard rated enclosure design allows
using the equipment in any climate conditions.

ZSpark PTMP devices offer a new approach to setup and maintain the network.

SPARK

Setup Wizard

Guides the installer through the

important steps of the set-up
process.

Link parameters are

automatically applied to
subscriber units once set on the
base-station side.

SPARK

Spectrum analyzer

Demonstrates the current noise

graphs.
 Multiple options to pre-configure ZSpark PTMP devices are displayed in a scheme below. Devices can be connected with each
other using wired or wireless connectivity. End-user device can also connect to the master device using 2.4 GHz access radio or
using wire to the Ethernet port of the master device. ZSpark PTMP devices can be discovered using bonjour and SSDP protocols
as well.
