4. Target Markets
The Airmux-400 series is targeting the global markets of Cellular Backhaul, WiMAX and ISP Backhaul, Broadband Access and Private and Government Networks
All these markets require higher bandwidth (TDM & ETH) with longer range, robustness; while keeping the best price performance

5. Airmux-400 – Benefits
High bandwidth with longer range – 50 Mbps full duplex net throughput reaching up to 120 km
Combined Native TDM & Native Ethernet services on one platform
Competitive prices – higher Ethernet & TDM capacity for lower prices
Applicable to nLOS, over-water deployments and high capacity over extended range with improved robustness thanks to the OFDM, MIMO and antenna polarization features.
Flexible product usage (& stock reduction) of the configurable ODU
Fast and easy deployments via installation and alignments tools

Targeted for Cellular backhaul
Providing protection against
Equipment failure (ODU and IDU)
Loss of air interface
Using a primary link and a secondary link:
Two Airmux-400 links
A Airmux-400 link and a Airmux-200 link with new IDU-C
Two Airmux-200 links with new IDU-C (single dual-pol antenna can be used)

10. Diversity Antenna diversity
Capacity 25 Mbps
MIMO
Capacity 50 Mbps
Antenna diversity
Uses two antennas
Each antenna experiences a different interference environment
The system chooses the best received signal providing enhanced robustness
Antenna diversity requires antenna separation, possible by two methods:
Polarization Diversity - combines a pair of antennas with orthogonal polarizations
Spatial Diversity - employs antennas that are physically separated from one another

11. Diversity – Receive Combining

12. Diversity Vs MIMO – When to Use?
Use MIMO Mode to get the highest capacity, up to 50 Mbps full duplex
Use MIMO when the air conditions are similar between the antennas
Use Diversity instead of MIMO in the following cases:
When the system cannot operate in MIMO Mode due to link conditions
When you get higher capacity in Diversity Mode than in MIMO Mode
Note that Diversity Mode requires understanding of the nature of interference and of the correct solution to deploy. Advise PS.
Remember that the capacity in Diversity is ½ than that of MIMO

13. Spectrum View An RF survey tool
Support link installation before service activation
Activated by the installer
Helps selecting the best channel during installation
Supports quick and easy installation

14. Spectrum View – Display Information
Spectral measurement for each of the 4 receivers that make the link
Spectral power measurements in 5MHz channel granularity
Current, average and maximum power per channel
Channels free from radars, with radars and barred (for DFS bands)
Scanned and un-scanned channels
Channels selected for ACS
Current operational channel
Time stamp of the last spectrum scan
Zoom, selective view of antennas and sites and detail level

15. Spectrum View – Tool Capabilities
Save and restore – save the spectral information and also view retrieved spectral information from historical spectrum scans
Diagnostics - the Spectrum View information is logged as part of the Diagnostics Information to improve link and system diagnostics and remote support. It can be retrieved from the RADWIN Manager menu with Help  Get Diagnostic Information
Management Integration - Spectrum view information is supported in RADWIN’s MIB and can be used by external Network Management applications
Designed for Unlicensed Spectrum – the spectrum measurement algorithms are designed to show accurate information while accommodating with variances in frequency, temperature and interference power and overcoming anomalies that tend to occur in high interference environments
Scanning Time – ~10 seconds for an entire band scan. It is recommended to scan for a few minutes for accurate results.

18. Typical Applications

19. Targeted HSS Applications
Access and Corporate Connectivity
Where any links originate from a common hub site
With HSS by Airmux-400 such applications now support high capacity connectivity
Backhaul
HSS is needed in installations where a Airmux-400 link is the backhaul for many lower capacity access links
The backhaul link can be synchronized to the access links to mitigate potential mutual interference
Attack Plan
Identify existing customers with mixed network of Airmux-200 and Airmux-400
Propose the HSS solution for mixed deployment

20. Targeted MHS Applications
Provide high reliability high-capacity Point-to-Point links
Provide redundancy and high reliability for carrier class operators
Optimized for high capacity links operating in license-free bands
Additional values:
Each link can use a different band for maximum protection to the air interface
Affordable SLA can be offered by protecting part of the Airmux-400 trunks with Airmux-200
Go To Market
Present the capability to Cellular Operators

21. MHS Spec
Supported in Airmux-400 by software upgrade to the install base
TDM service cut-over from the primary to the secondary link is completely automatic, less than 50 ms
Automatic restore to primary link as soon as it becomes available
Supports up to 16 TDM services for Airmux-400 and 4 TDM services for Airmux-200
HSS is used between the links
Install both sites with HSS cables for additional protection
Ethernet services
No Ethernet 1+1
Ethernet traffic is always “on” on both links, while the TDM service is running only on one link
Each link carries different Ethernet traffic
