Network migration planning
The PTP 450 Series offers current network operators the ability to migrate to PTP 450 for
expanded network capacity and capability. The following sections are provided to aid in
establishing a planning framework for deploying a PTP 450 system.
Example PTP 450 deployment scenario
The following sections provide detail examples for network deployment scenarios of PTP
450 product. This table may be referenced to begin planning the PTP 450 deployment
based on the current network configuration (if applicable).
Definitions of deployment scenario terminology

Deployment scenario terminology descriptions
Term
Definition
Existing System Release
The current running system software release
Existing Modulation
The type of modulation used in the current
network. “FSK” indicates an existing PTP 1x0
series network, and “OFDM” indicates an
existing PTP 230 network.
Existing Ch BW (MHz)
The channel size, or channel bandwidth used in
the current system. For FSK (PTP 100 series)
deployments, the channel bandwidth is always
20 MHz. For OFDM (PTP 230) deployments, the
channel size may be 5, 10 or 20 MHz.
Existing Total Bandwidth Used
(MHz)
The total amount of spectrum, in MHz, which is
used by the existing system.
Existing Aggregate Tower
Throughput (Mbps)
The total amount of throughput, in Mbps,
available in the current network deployment.
Existing Additional Frequencies
Available (MHz)
The number of additional frequencies unused
by the current deployment that are available for
usage by PTP 450 equipment.
FINAL: Aggregate Throughput
(Mbps)
The aggregate throughput available after
upgrading to a PTP 450 network.
Resulting Number of Sectors
The number of sectors configured in the new
PTP 450 network installation.
Resulting Modulation
The modulation scheme utilized in the new PTP
450 network installation.
