IP-20S: End-of-Life Product

For years, the FibeAir IP-20S delivered reliable, compact, all-outdoor wireless backhaul for many networks. As part of Ceragon’s product lifecycle, the IP-20S has reached End-of-Life and is no longer available for new orders.

If you're currently operating IP-20S links, Ceragon will continue to provide support in accordance with your applicable service agreement, with end of support currently expected in mid-2029. If you're planning new deployments or network upgrades, our current microwave solutions deliver greater capacity, flexibility, and room to grow in the same frequency bands.

The IP-20S is a compact, all-outdoor wireless backhaul node that is optimized for simple installation and operation, and helps you resolve challenges across your network – from macrocell to small-cell backhaul. Whether your challenge is establishing cost-effective connectivity to edge sites, reducing spectrum license fees, or reducing your energy-related expenses – the IP-20S is the solution for you.

The IP-20S operates within the entire microwave spectrum, offering high spectral efficiency across licensed and license-exempt microwave communications frequency bands (6-42GHz).

Optimized for tail sites, the IP-20S supports advanced capabilities such as Advanced Frequency Reuse (tail-site), which allows you to deploy your cell-sites where you need to, without wireless backhaul spectrum constraints.
