About GE MDS Intrepid-HC HP
The GE MDS Intrepid-HC HP supports multiple capacities, frequencies, modulation schemes, and configurations
for various network requirements. Its RF transceiver units operate in the frequency range of 6-11 GHz.
GE MDS Intrepid-HC HP capacities can be upgraded from 45 Mbps up to N x 155 Mbps.
For long distance links and backbone requirements, GE MDS Intrepid-HC HP offers Space Diversity functionality.
Each transceiver can contains two receivers and one transmitter, which enable built-in diversity capability.
Built in Diversity in each transceiver increases the reliability of the link. In a 1+1/2+2 Hot Standby or N+1
configuration with Space Diversity, if a hardware failure occurs, the Diversity will not be affected.
