Airmux-400 is a point-to-point radio solution for combined Ethernet and TDM traffic over license free frequencies
… for TS2008 Slide 7

• The Airmux-400 series is targeting the global markets of
Cellular Backhaul, WiMAX and ISP Backhaul, Broadband
Access and Private and Government Networks
• All these markets require higher bandwidth (TDM & ETH) with longer range, robustness; while keeping the best price performance
… for TS2008 Slide 8

• High bandwidth with longer range – 50Mbps full duplex net throughput reaching up to 120km
• Combined Native TDM & Native Ethernet services on one platform
• Competitive prices – higher Ethernet & TDM capacity for lower prices
• Applicable to nLOS, over-water deployments and high capacity over extended range with improved robustness thanks to the OFDM, MIMO and antenna polarization features.
• Flexible product usage (& stock reduction) of the configurable ODU.
• Fast and easy deployments via installation and alignments tools
… for TS2008 Slide 9

• Service –
• TDM (4/8/16 E1/T1 ports)
• SFP port for FE services
• Radio – Multi Bands and regulations
•
•
2.4, 4.9, 5.3, 5.4 GHz FCC/IC band
Single configurable ODU HW for 2.4 , 4.9GHz - 5.9GHz
• Management –
• Software upgrade for multiple links, configuration backup and restore, link lock

• MIMO = Multiple Input Multiple Output
• A high rate signal is split into multiple lower rate streams and each stream is transmitted from a different transmit antenna in the same frequency channel.
Lower rate streams
Streams merged into one signal High rate signal
TX RX
… for TS2008 Slide 13

MIMO achieves significant increases in capacity, range and reliability without additional bandwidth or transmit power
• Increased range and reliability:
•
•
The Ethernet data stream is split into two lower rate chains.
These chains can be transmitted in lower rates, achieving longer ranges and higher reliability
• Improved availability
•
•
The streams arrive at the receivers at different qualities. MIMO chooses the best stream available
Paths in poor quality are thus eliminated and availability increased

• Replaces all 8 different IDU-E products
• Supports 2 options :
• Ethernet services only (2 ports) or
• TDM (4 ports) + Ethernet (2 ports) services.
•
•
•
The TDM ports are user configurable (E1/T1)
Independent clock per TDM port to supports several networks
Dual wide range DC power supply
… for TS2008 Slide 19

• Monitored Hot Standby (MHS) 1+1 solution provides TDM service redundancy with high reliability
•
•
•
Switching occurs upon equipment failure or loss of air interface
Automatic switching time < 50 msec
Requires an MHS cable between IDU’s at both ends
