2 Kwikbit K60i System Overview
Figure 1: K60i System in a Point-to-Multipoint (PtMP)
Wireless Communication Application
Kwikbit is a leader in gigabit wireless distribution solutions that intelligently adapt to
challenging environments to maximize performance and reliability.
The K60i system operates in the 60 GHz unlicensed frequency band and is designed
primarily for line-of-sight (LoS) operation. Non-line-of-sight (NLoS) operation is possible
within short range and in the presence of reflective surfaces. By utilizing advanced
beamforming techniques, the K60i system automatically adapts in Point to Multi-Point
(PMP) communication configuration and is adaptable to changes in the operating
environment. The beam forming capability also makes system installation simple for

non-technical staff as precise mechanical alignment, as required by previous generation 60
GHz systems, is not required.
The K60i system is designed for use in multiple applications including IoT backhaul
(sensors, security cameras, etc.), optical fiber extension, and corporate and enterprise data
backhaul services by providing 1 Gbps of symmetric throughput.
The K60i system operates in unlicensed Time Division Multiplexing (TDD) band 57.05 –
64.00 GHz in both Point to Point (PTP) and Point to Multi-Point (PtMP) configurations. Some
of the main product characteristics are shown in Table 1.

The K60i system consists of the following components:
●Hub Unit: control communication to one or more Remote Units
●Remote Unit: scan for available Hub Units and connect to the Hub configured or
assigned via the Edge Controller
●Edge Controller: Optional appliance computer that provides WebUI tools for
deployment planning, commissioning, network configuration, management,

monitoring and fault isolation. Edge controller is highly recommended for networks
of medium and large scale.
The K60i Hub and Remote Units are identical from a hardware perspective, only differing in
software configuration. The K60i has a small form factor that can be easily and
unobtrusively deployed in many different indoor environments.
3 K60i System Description
Kwikbit’s K60i wireless indoor backhaul solution is designed to meet the requirements of
network planners where rapid and flexible deployment, high reliability, multi-gigabit
capacity and excellent latency performance are needed. Applications for the system include
IoT gateway aggregation, Wi-Fi access point backhaul, video camera connectivity and other
gigabit IP based applications. The system can function either as a Point-to-Point (PTP) or
Point-to-Multipoint (PMP) wireless Ethernet bridge.
Some of the main characteristics of the system include:
●Time Division Duplex (TDD): The K60i solution features TDD access mode with
variable frame length.
●Adaptive Modulation with Link Adaptation: The K60i system supports BPSK,
QPSK and 16QAM on both the downlink and uplink path to achieve high capacity in
the channel bandwidth (1.86 Gbps Ethernet layer throughput for combined
downlink and uplink traffic).
●Beamforming: Use of the 60 GHz band allows extremely fast communication, but
also presents the challenge of limited propagation. Signals in the 60 GHz band are
also more susceptible to disruption from physical barriers than at lower
frequencies. The K60i system includes adaptive beamforming, a technique that
enables robust multi-gigabit communications at greater distances. Kwikbit’s
beamforming feature uses directional antennas to reduce interference and
automatically focus a signal between two devices into a concentrated beam. During
the beamforming process, devices establish communication and then fine-tune
their antenna settings to improve the quality of directional communication until
there is enough capacity for the desired data transmission.
One key benefit of Kwikbit’s beamforming is that if an obstacle blocks the line of
sight between two devices, for example, if someone walks between them, the
devices can quickly establish a new communications pathway. Another benefit of
the K60i beamforming is that non-technical personnel can quickly and easily install
the system. Precise physical alignment of the radios, as required with previous 60

GHz products, is not required with the Kwikbit system. The beamforming feature
also enables the PMP communication capability of the system.
●Power Management: The K60i system utilizes the scheduled access mode to
reduce power consumption. Devices connected with each other via a directional link
schedule the periods during which they communicate and, in between those
periods, they can sleep to save power. This capability allows devices to more
precisely tailor their power management to their actual traffic workload, reduces
potential co-channel interference and enables efficient spectrum utilization.
●Advanced Security: The K60i system utilizes strong security mechanisms, including
Galois/Counter Mode, a highly-efficient mode of encryption that is designed to
support higher communication speeds. Encryption is based on the
government-grade Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) and is implemented in
hardware for performance and efficiency.
●Integrated Antennas: The K60i units integrate a specially-designed, 64 element
antenna module that enables a peak EIRP of 40 dBm with a 90º azimuthal and 40º
vertical beam sweep range.
●PMP with Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation: The K60i system can operate in PTP or
PMP configurations with up to eight Remotes. The capacity allocated to each
Remote is variable according to the requirements of connected devices.
●Compact Form Factor: The K60i transceiver units are highly integrated, compact
(107x107x50mm), and low in weight (388g), so they can be easily mounted on most
ceiling structures and walls.
●Connectivity: K60i backhaul devices include three standard RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet
ports, two of which supply PoE power to connected Wi-Fi access points, IoT
gateways, surveillance cameras and other payload communication devices.
The Kwikbit K60i system provides these network management features:
●Each K60i unit incorporates a WebUI. This WebUI enables configuration, fault
management, and administration of the unit, as well as provides system state and
performance information.
