E-Band Packet Radio Revolutionary Backhaul & Fronthaul!
E-Band Shapes the Future of Backhaul, Midhaul & Fronthaul The explosive demand for IP-based services has caused severe bottlenecks to existing last-mile MW transport networks. Furthermore, the evolution to 4G / IP architectures and the mass deployment of small cells are about to dramatically increase the number of radio links. Current Point-to-Point MW radio systems, operating in the congested 15-38 GHz bands, require more equipment (2+0) to achieve the Gigabit capacity milestone. More importantly, the spectrum licensing fees represent a significant portion of the network s annual operating expenses. E-Band radio systems offer unique inherent advantages, such as Gigabit capacity on a single (1+0) radio link and considerably-reduced spectrum fees based on a new light licensing framework.
The Innovations of UltraLink TM -FX80 UltraLink -FX80 all-outdoor Ethernet radio realizes the profound advantages of E-Band technology, shaping the future of wireless connectivity. By introducing cost-efficient leading capacity, intelligently achieved through distinct innovations, UltraLink -FX80 revolutionizes the radio network economics. Demanding operators can thus benefit from a highly-valued solution that has primarily been developed to meet and exceed their expectations, offering at the same time a low cost of ownership. UltraLink -FX80 is compliant with both European and USA regulations.

Product Description UltraLink -FX80 accommodates everything - including the flat antenna - into a lightweight, compact (290 mm x 290 mm x 108 mm) and environmentally-hardened enclosure to minimize the size and cost requirements of the supporting infrastructure. Other antenna options (30 cm and 60 cm parabolic) are also available. UltraLink -FX80 assures a highly-efficient and reliable operation thanks to the hitless link adaptation, highly-integrated inner architecture and low power consumption. Multiple powering options - direct AC, direct DC and PoE - facilitate deployment in all kind of sites, telco or street-level. Synergies that Create Value UltraLink -FX80 establishes synergies with the OmniBAS aggregation nodes and with other OmniBAS products from the Intracom Telecom portfolio. Combining the strengths of UltraLink -FX80 and OmniBAS solutions extends both their capabilities and the possible applications. Highlights Up to 3 Gbit/s full-duplex ETH throughput from a single 500 MHz channel 7-level Hitless ACM up to 256-QAM Three Gigabit Ethernet interfaces (Provider Bridge for MEF compliant Carrier Ethernet services) and one CPRI interface Zero-touch configuration and service provisioning through Bluetooth communication with a standard Android tablet Synchronous Ethernet and IEEE 1588v2 Transparent and Boundary Clock support UltraLink FX80: compact & lightweight (shown with flat antenna) 5.15 290mm 290mm 135mm
Networking Flexibility UltraLink -FX80 satisfies and exceeds the peak rate requirements of multi-technology HSPA+ / LTE / LTE-A sites. With its comprehensive Carrier Ethernet functionality and QoS treatment of traffic, UltraLink -FX80 ensures seamless integration with IP systems and effective service delivery. The following two schematics show indicative E-Band link deployments. Fig. 2 depicts a Centralized Radio Access Network (C-RAN) comprising three Remote Radio Head (RRH) and one centralized Base Band Unit (BBU) sites, the latter interfacing toward the Evolved Packet Core. UltraLink -FX80 radios can be used to fronthaul CPRI traffic from the remote RRHs to the BBU. In particular, an UltraLink -FX80 is connected to each RRH through a CPRI optical interface. At the BBU site, three UltraLink -FX80 radios are installed onto the building roof to forward traffic from/to all served RRH sites and interface with the indoor BBU through their CPRI interfaces. Fig. 3 depicts a network that backhauls traffic from mobile base stations to the customer s Point of Presence (PoP), using E-Band links. A relay point, comprising two interconnected UltraLink - FX80 radios, is used to extend link range and provide local add/ drop capability at the same time. Connections toward the PoP and the served base stations are implemented using Gigabit Ethernet interfaces.
