IntelliCom WAN Mesh Radio Deployment Considerations
With MIMO
Without MIMO
Configuration selections establish the performance of an IntelliCom Mesh Radio network.
The following information shows maximum capacity for the IntelliCom WAN Mesh Radio.
System Parameters
A pair of mesh radios is installed outdoors, operating at a maximum modulation level of
64 QAM 5/6 in a Clear LOS PtP setup. Multiple streams are required to measure the system
performance with a single PC-to-PC test setup. Recommended measurement tools are:
•
Iperf version 1.7.0 for all iperf tests.
•
Iperf for all TCP tests.
•
IXIA for all UDP tests.
Operation Mode
Linear—
A single radio operating at 40-MHz channel bandwidth will yield 150 Mbps
UDP (120 Mbps TCP) throughput.
Bonded—
Both radios are enabled (dual-radio license key required); each radio operating
on a 40-MHz channel bandwidth in bonded mode configuration allows you to achieve
300 Mbps UDP throughput (240 Mbps TCP).
NOTE:
Taking advantage of IntelliCom’s unique dual-radio-capable hardware architecture
(in Linear mode configuration), both radios operate independently to enable sustained
bandwidth levels over an unlimited number of hops. The radios can also be deployed as
two standalone radios, each with a separate sector antenna, facing opposite each other,
for extended connectivity using a single hardware unit. This is used where a project
demands two radios at the same tower/pole site.

•

•

Operation Mode
Linear—
Single radio (radio 1) is operating at 20-MHz channel bandwidth—35 Mbps
UDP (30 Mbps TCP).
Bonded—
Both radios are enabled (dual-radio license key required); each radio
operating at a 20-MHz channel bandwidth in bonded mode configuration allows you
to achieve 70 Mbps UDP (55 Mbps TCP).
NOTE:
There is no support for 40-MHz channel bandwidth in 802.11 non-MIMO mode.
