Introducing FibeAir 1500R
Whether its cellular, triple play converged services or legacy networks, today more than ever, operators are looking for a solution that will cover the most modern telecommunications trends. Based on a deep understanding of operator requirements and with future evolution in mind,
Ceragon created the FibeAir 1500R family of products, which answers the need for a future-proof, efficient wireless networking solution. State-of-the-art technology and a common hardware platform supporting multiple capacities, frequencies and configurations, make the FibeAir solution ideal for a broad range of network applications and ensures backhaul profitability.
Optimizing operator costs and reducing risk were the foundations of the
FibeAir 1500R system design.
With its rapid deployment and maximum equipment efficiency, Ceragon’s field proven solution allows operators to leverage their investments and OPEX by simplifying migration to higher capacity multi-service systems.
Integrated Solutions
TDM
Delivering carrier-class, high-capacity SDH/SONET with 1, 2 or 4 x STM-1/OC3 capacities, FiberAir 1500R radios constitute the power behind your transport network.
Packet/TDM Convergence
Full interoperability and management integration with field-proven MSPPs (Multi Service Provisioning Platforms) ensures a cost-effective alternative for IP-enabled transport networks. This combination enables FibeAir 1500R to deliver virtually any service with a robust fiber-like quality, converging TDM, ATM and Ethernet traffic interfaces can be provided within the same radio carrier.
Long-Haul
FibeAir RFU-HP (High Power RF Unit) is the first split-mount radio to be optimized for long-haul applications. Ceragon’s unique embedded space diversity protection, with dual receiver architecture, extremely high transmit power and IF combining algorithm, guarantee superior performance and errorless transmission. For operators, this means a carrier-grade solution that uses less equipment and smaller antennas, resulting in substantial savings on initial investments and operational expenditures.
System Overview
FibeAir 1500R provides wireless high-capacity digital transmission over short, medium and long distances, in a variety of network capacities, frequencies and modulation schemes.
Capacities
The FibeAir 1500R system can easily upgrade TDM capacities of 155 to 622 Mbps, using the same 1U IDU. The two independent modules in the 1U chassis can each deliver 155 to 311 Mbps for SDH/SONET, optimizing the solution for every network topology and configuration.
Topologies
Supported topologies include point-to-point, ring, star, mesh and cascaded chain. In East-West configurations (ring and cascaded topologies) one carrier is directed to the East and the other to the West, reducing equipment and resource requirements in each node, which in turn, increases network efficiency.
Configurations
A typical FibeAir 1500R configuration includes an Indoor Unit (IDU) consisting of a compact 1U chassis with two independent traffic modules, a single control unit for both modules, an RFU and an antenna.
The two independent, hot-swappable carriers can be used for protection, diversity or double capacity. High spectral efficiency is ensured by choosing the same frequency for double the capacity, whereby both carriers are used for vertical and horizontal polarization, implemented by the built-in XPIC mechanism. A 2U IDU that can host up to four carriers is available for optimized protected configurations using XPIC and space diversity.
Protection
Protected configurations for FibeAir 1500R include 1+1/2+2 HSB and 1+1 HSB with space or frequency diversity and with optional XPIC, Cross Polarization Interference Canceller mechanism. The hitless/errorless protection mechanism, provides superior resilience. Network protection schemes include SNCP/UPSR (e.g. 2+0 East-West configurations) and MSP 1+1. All traffic affecting circuitry has inherent redundancy.
Distances
FibeAir RFUs (RF Unit) are used for short to medium haul applications and operate in the frequency range of 6-38 GHz. FibeAir RFU-HP (High Power RF Unit) are used for long haul applications, operate in the frequency range of 6-11 GHz and can be installed outdoors in a split-mount configuration or all-indoor in a standard rack.
Seamless Integration
FibeAir 1500R IDUs can seamlessly integrate in any SDH/SONET, IP and ATM network, that support a wide variety of Ethernet and TDM interfaces, including nxE1/T1, nxE3/DS3, nxSTM-1/OC-3, STM-4/OC-12, nxFE and nxGbE.
This enables network designers to meet growing market needs, including integration of current and next generation technologies, using the same radio equipment.
