Benefits
Advantages to Providers/Customers
Reference
Scalable and spectrally efficient system.
Separate networks for radio
overhead/management and user payload.
Up to 16 (FOUR.9 Series) or 32 (SIX.4
Series) T1/E1 wayside channels support
extension of PBX connectivity between
buildings without additional leased-line
costs.
Lowers total cost of ownership.
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 Digital Radio Series
unit
s, or more
rings without interruption of service.
A separate management channel allows
for a dedicated maintenance ring with
connections to each 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.
2.6,2.7,2.9
Adaptive Power Control
Automatically adjusts transmit power in
discrete increments in response to RF
interference. For EIRP compliance, the
power output is limited to the maximum
established at the time of installation, per
FCC Part 90 (FOUR.9 Series) or 101
(SIX.4 Series) rules.
Enables dense deployment.
Simplifies
deployment
and
network
management.
2.11
Comprehensive Link/Network Management Software
A graphical user interface offers security,
configuration, fault, and performance
management via standard craft interfaces.
Suite
of
SNMP-compatible
network
management tools that provide robust
local and remote management capabilities.
Simplifies management of radio network
and minimizes resources as entire network
can be centrally managed from any
location.
Simplifies troubleshooting of single radios,
links, or entire networks.
