Carlson Wireless announces the newest addition to its Trailblazer line, the Trailblazer 5.9. The product, one of the first products of its kind certified to operate in the 5.9 GHz frequency band, was custom-designed for departments of transportation. The Trailblazer 5.9 is a point-to-point solution, ideal for backhauling two-way radio communications or Dedicated Short Range Communications (DSRC) projects because of its resistance to interference and weather. A 5.9 GHz frequency band offers a full 70-megahertz of spectrum set aside by the FCC especially for Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). This particular band is ideal for both the public safety and departments of transportation industries because it can support the high data rates that transportation applications require.
