— Canada’s Redline Communications Group Inc. says its entire family of RDL-3000 wireless broadband systems now operates in the 3.5 GHz band, offering higher speeds, lower latency and greater capacity than WiMAX. This allows operators to use their 3.5 GHz spectrum to deliver fixed services while they use their LTE spectrum for mobile services. To deliver business-access services, the software-configured RDL-3000 allows for point-to-point and point-to-multipoint applications, customizable QoS controls and the ability to remotely change the delivered bandwidth on a unit-by-unit basis. Redline’s U.S. business operates out of Miami Beach.
