Benefits
Advantages to Providers/Customers
Reference
Easy to install units
Straightforward modular system enables
fast deployment and activation.
Carrier-class reliability.
Fast return on investment.
No monthly leased line fees.
3.1, 3.4, 3.6
Complete support of payload capacity with additional voice orderwire
Aggregate capacity beyond basic network
payload.
Scalable and spectrally efficient system.
Separate networks for radio
overhead/management and user payload.
Increases available bandwidth of network.
Allows customer full use of revenue-
generating payload channel.
Lowers total cost of ownership.
2.2 – 2.5
Ring Architecture
Supports a ring (consecutive point)
configuration, thus creating a self-healing
redundancy that is more reliable than
traditional point-to-point networks.
In the event of an outage, traffic is
automatically rerouted via another part of
the ring without service interruption.
Ring/consecutive point networks can
overcome line-of-sight issues and reach
more buildings than other traditional
wireless networks.
Networks can be expanded by adding
more ATX-II Digital Radios or more rings
without interruption of service.
A separate management channel allows
for a dedicated maintenance ring with
connections to each ATX-II Digital Radio
on the ring.
Enables network scalability.
Increases deployment scenarios for initial
deployment as well as network expansion
with reduced line-of-sight issues.
Increases network reliability due to self-
healing redundancy of the network.
Minimizes total cost of ownership and
maintenance of the network.
Allows for mass deployment.
