Module description
Quoted from the NIST CMVP entry for this certificate.
The PTP 700 is deployed to create a point-to-point wireless bridge joining two Ethernet networks, or a point-to-multipoint wireless bridge joining between two and nine Ethernet networks. The PTP 45700 variant operates in licensed, lightly-licensed, and unlicensed frequency bands between 4400 MHz and 5875 MHz in channel bandwidths up to 45 MHz, providing aggregate data rates up to 450 Mbit/s. The PTP 78700 variant operates in licensed frequency bands between 7125 MHz and 8500 MHz, in channel bandwidths up to 45 MHz, providing aggregate data rates up to 503 Mbit/s.
