Fastback offers three different backhaul technologies:
- Non Line-of-Sight: Using 5GHz unlicenced band, proprietary technology squeezes high performance. Up to 800Mbps at 500 meters, 300Mbps at up to 13km with latency below 500us.
- Line of Sight in V-Band: Using 60GHz millimeter wave to achieve up to 1Gbps at ranges of up to 800m.
- Line of Sight in E-Band: Using 70/80GHz millimeter wave to achieve up to 1Gbps at ranges of up to 4km.
The Non-Line-of-Sight product was Fastback's original in-house development; the V-Band and E-Band products were originally developed by sub10.
