Increase capacityDiplexers increase the capacity of antennas by enabling 5 GHz and 6 GHz links on the same large high-gain antennas, which means faster connections without needing extra antennas. PTP backhaul Diplexers increase the capacity of backhaul antennas by enabling 5 GHz and 6 GHz PTP links on the same large high-gain antennas, which means faster backhaul connections without needing extra backhaul antennas. PtMP sectors and horns The upgrade process is also more flexible for installers, who can schedule visits to gradually swap out the CPE for customers. Plus, WISPs have the option to upgrade customers as they agree to pay for these improvements, allowing for a cost-effective and customer-centric upgrade path. Reduced tower space, wind load, and rentThe compact setup afforded by diplexers reduces the physical space needed on towers. This is particularly beneficial as tower space is often limited and can be expensive. By occupying less space, WISPs can either reduce their rent or make room for additional equipment, if necessary. PTP backhaulDiplexers boost the capacity of backhaul antennas by supporting 5 GHz and 6 GHz PTP links on the same large high-gain antennas, delivering faster backhaul connections without requiring additional antennas. More backhaul capacity Utilizing diplexers increases the capacity of backhaul connections. This improvement is crucial for the backbone of any wireless network, as it directly influences the overall quality and speed of the internet service provided. A stronger backhaul translates into better service for end-users without the need for additional, costly infrastructure enhancements. One robust antenna, multiple links By consolidating multiple PTP links into a single high-gain antenna, operators maximize their investment in infrastructure. Fewer antennas mean reduced hardware purchases, less tower space rental, and lower upfront capital costs. Over time, maintenance expenses are also minimized—there are fewer components to service, fewer alignment issues, and less downtime risk. This streamlined setup not only drives long-term savings but also ensures a more cost-efficient and sustainable network expansion strategy. Typical Use CasesThe 5–6 GHz Wi-Fi Diplexer 4x4 is designed for network operators who want to combine separate 5 GHz and 6 GHz radios onto a single wideband antenna system. It helps simplify deployments, reduce tower clutter, and maximize the use of existing infrastructure. Dual-Band Wi-Fi 7 Deployments Use the diplexer to connect separate 5 GHz and 6 GHz radios to a single antenna, enabling dual-band network designs that support higher capacity and improved spectrum utilization. Network Upgrades and 6 GHz Migration WISPs can add 6 GHz equipment to existing 5 GHz networks without installing additional antennas, making it easier to expand capacity while minimizing tower modifications. Point-to-Multipoint (PtMP) Access Points Deploy both 5 GHz and 6 GHz access point radios on the same tower sector while using a single compatible antenna, reducing equipment footprint and simplifying installations. Point-to-Point (PtP) Backhaul Links Combine 5 GHz and 6 GHz backhaul radios into a shared antenna system to support high-capacity links while minimizing wind load and tower space requirements. Tower Space Optimization Ideal for sites where tower space is limited or expensive. The diplexer allows multiple radios to share the same antenna, reducing the number of antennas required on the tower. Wind Load Reduction Projects By eliminating the need for additional antennas, the diplexer helps lower wind loading on towers and poles, which can simplify structural requirements and reduce installation costs. High-Density Wireless Networks In crowded RF environments, operators can leverage both 5 GHz and 6 GHz spectrum bands through a shared antenna system to increase network capacity and improve frequency planning flexibility. Infrastructure Consolidation Perfect for operators looking to simplify network deployments by reducing the number of antennas, mounts, and cabling needed at each site.
