Differentiating itself from conventional broadband solutions, the Bridge XC seamlessly connects outdoor CPE to indoor networks through windows, bypassing infrastructure limitations to deliver consistent high-speed internet. Alistair Banham, CEO at pureLiFi said: 'We've designed the Bridge XC with our partners Solace Power for versatility across all regions and environments. Bridge XC makes installation seamless, self-installable while keeping costs low and can enable 6x network capacity gains on sub-6 Ghz 5G. It's about creating value at every level.'
