The product portfolio share the same market leading technology which is summarised in the following table.

	Features	Benefits
Cost	Compared to fibre and PTP, PMP delivers up to: 50 per cent CAPEX savings 50 per cent OPEX savings 50 per cent TCO savings.	Create a leading business case to invest in new and upgraded networks Accelerate return on investment when connecting new sites Maintain revenues across the network lifecycle.
Deployment and scalability	Sector coverage Almost half the radios compared to point-to-point Unique zero indoor footprint covering both access points and remote terminals.	Deploy networks in almost half the time of PTP Achieve a fast time to market No indoor hub equipment enables quick deployment Connect new sites quickly by a single installation team, without a visit to the hub site or the need of additional spectrum Reduce network power consumption and environmental impact.
Alignment	VectaStar Configuration App performs configuration and optimises RT alignment.	Reduces technical requirements and time to install new sites.
Capacity	1.2Gbps per sector and per link, up to 14.4Gbps per hub site Software defined capacity provisioning.
