# Hardware Platform

### Wireless device <a href="#hardwareplatform-wirelessdevice" id="hardwareplatform-wirelessdevice"></a>

The wireless device contains both the radio and networking electronics. Implemented in a robust all-weather metal enclosure, this equipment can be used to create point-to-point wireless links at long distances. The wireless device is supplied in the following configurations:

* with removable integrated antenna 26 dBi (QSR5-26 / QSR6-26);
* with removable integrated antenna 29 dBi (QSR5-29 / QSR6-29​);
* with two N-type ports for an external antenna (QSR5-E / QSR6-E​).

The enclosure has three ports:

1x Combo port including:

* 1x Gigabit Ethernet port (10/100/1000 Base‑T), RJ‑45 connector: Data + Power.
* 1x SFP port: Data.

1x SYNC port - not used in this configuration.
