Millimeter wave (mmW) wireless transport is an attractive alternative to traditional microwave technology for data backhaul and wireless access. Utilizing the E-band within the mmW range offers high capacity with low latency at reduced cost, addressing spectrum shortages in other ranges. This makes E-band a robust alternative for scenarios previously dependent on microwave connectivity.
At Ceragon, we leverage our radio’s capabilities to deliver superior wireless transport solutions. Our systems provide fiber-like capacity, high reliability, and cost-effectiveness, empowering CSPs and ISPs to stay ahead. One challenge with E-band links in the 70-80GHz range is their limited range of typically just a few kilometers. Ceragon's unique E-Stabilizer antenna supports easy installation and operation of 3ft antennas that enhance range and availability by 45% over traditional E-Band solutions, through higher system gain. The E-Stabilizer also delivers automated link alignment to enable best performance in harsh conditions.
Ceragon offers carrier-grade E-band solutions delivering up to 20Gbps capacity. Our smaller, lighter solutions enable easier installation and faster deployment, reducing operational costs.
The Smallest Carrier Grade mmW Radio
The IP-50EX is a small form factor system that provides up to 10Gbps in 1+0 configurations and 20Gbps in 2+0 XPIC, with seamless traffic distribution and improved survivability. As a carrier-grade solution, it comes equipped with an integrated Carrier Ethernet services switch that includes a 25GbE traffic interface and MEF CE 2.0 compliance. Its Adaptive Coding Modulation and Bandwidth ensures transmission during fading. Suitable for macro backhaul to small cells, it meets diverse networking needs.
Fiber-like Ultra-High Capacity
The IP-50E universal radio delivers ultra-high 20Gbps capacity. Using layer-1 carrier aggregation, you can combine its high capacity with microwave, fiber or leased lines to meet SLA targets. Combined with Ceragon’s IP-50C, IP-20C, or a 3rd party radio - and a multiband antenna - you can achieve a compact, all-outdoor, direct-mount 3-carrier solution (single-carrier E-Band + two-carrier microwave). This saves on tower load and shelter requirements while simplifying installation, allowing faster time to market, and enhancing operational efficiency.
Ceragon’s family of mmW radios introduces cutting-edge technological innovations, utilizing the most compact radios and providing the highest bandwidth support. These advanced solutions are meticulously designed to deliver optimized performance with low latency, high availability, and high capacity. Embrace these flexible solutions to maintain a competitive edge in the era of digital modernization.
