Our portfolio of products utilizes microwave and millimeter-wave radio technologies
that provide our customers with a wireless connectivity that dynamically adapts
to weather conditions and optimizes range and efficiency for a given frequency
channel bandwidth. Our products are typically sold as a complete system comprised
of four components: an outdoor unit, an indoor unit, a compact high-performance
antenna and a network management system. We offer all-packet microwave and millimeter-wave
radio links, with optional migration from TDM to Ethernet. Our products include
integrated networking functions for both TDM and Ethernet.
We offer our products in three configurations: All-indoor, All-outdoor and
Split-mount.
Split-mount solutions consist of:
Indoor units which are used to process and manage information transmitted to
and from the outdoor unit, aggregate multiple transmission signals and provide
a physical interface to wire-line networks.
Outdoor units or Radio Frequency Units (RFU), which are used to control power
transmission, and provide an interface between antennas and indoor units. They
are contained in compact weather-proof enclosures fastened to antennas. Indoor
units are connected to outdoor units by standard coaxial or Cat-5 baseband cables.
All-indoor solutions refer to solutions in which the entire system (indoor unit
and RFU) reside in a single rack inside a transmission equipment room. A waveguide
connection transports the radio signals to the antenna mounted on a tower. All
indoor equipment is typically used in long-haul applications.
All-outdoor solutions combine the functionality of both the indoor and outdoor
units in a single, compact device. This weather-proof enclosure is fastened
to an antenna, eliminating the need for rack space or sheltering as well as
the need for air conditioning.
Pointing accuracy solutions for high vibration environments. These are advanced
microwave radio systems for use on moving rigs/vessels where the antenna is
stabilized in one or two axes, azimuth or azimuth/elevation.
Antennas are used to transmit and receive microwave radio signals from one side
of the wireless link to the other. These devices are mounted on poles typically
placed on rooftops, towers or buildings. We rely on third party vendors to supply
this component.
End-to-End Network Management. Our network management system uses standard management
protocol to monitor and control managed devices at both the element and network
level and can be easily integrated into our customers’ existing network
management systems.
An antenna, an RFU and an indoor unit comprise a terminal. Two terminals are
required to form a radio link, which typically extends across a distance of
several miles and can extend across a distance of over 100 miles. The specific
distance depends upon the customer’s requirements and chosen modulation
scheme, the frequency utilized, the available line of sight, local rain patterns
and antenna size. Each link can be controlled by our network management system
or can be interfaced to the network management system of the service provider.
The systems are available in both split-mount, including an indoor and outdoor
unit, all-indoor and all-outdoor installations.
The IP-20 Platform provides a wide range of solutions for any configuration
requirement and diverse networking scenarios. Composed of high-density multi-technology
nodes and integrated radio units of multiple radio technologies ranging from
4GHz and up to 86GHz, it offers ultra-high capacity of multiple Gbps with flexibility
in accommodating for every site providing high performance terminals for all-indoor,
split-mount and all-outdoor configurations.
