Airmux-400 in Brief

• Airmux-400 is a point-to-point radio solution for
  combined Ethernet and TDM traffic over license
  free frequencies

TDM supported in version 2.2
3
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

Cellular Backhaul Applications
Temporary Backhaul
Rural Area Deployment
Urban Area Deployment
NLOS Backhauling
Intermediate Backhaul
Access Service
Backhaul to Low ARPU Areas
Backup to Wired Backhaul
TDM supported in version 2.2

Cellular Backhaul Applications

• Alternative to Leased Lines
• Complementing existing networks in Rural Areas
• Remote communities locations
• Low ARPU communities
• Hard to reach locations and NLOS scenarios
• Overlay to network coverage in Urban Areas
• Enhance coverage and capacity
• Providing service to low-ARPU locations in the
  city
• Hard to reach locations Problematic trenching
  or N-LOS scenarios
• NLOS scenarios
• Addressing peak hours requirements and temporary
  events
• 3G ramp-up (More base stations More capacity per
  site Street-level locations)
• Intermediate backhaul
• Backup

6
Broadband Access

• Expand broadband data and voice to rural and
  underserved markets
• Eliminate costly rollout investments and speed
  time to market
• Telco grade Long range High capacity (x 10
  more than leased line)

TDM and collocation supported in version 2.2

Airmux-400 Benefits

• High bandwidth with longer range 50Mbps full
  duplex net throughput reaching up to 120km
• 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 single configurable ODU.
• Fast and easy deployments via installation
  and alignments tools

TDM supported in version 2.2

Spatial Multiplexing MIMO

• MIMO Multiple Input Multiple Output
• A high rate signal is split into multiple lower
  rate streams and each stream is transmitted from
  a different transmit antenna in the same
  frequency channel.

Lower rate streams
Streams merged into one signal

Benefits of MIMO-OFDM

• MIMO achieves significant increases in capacity,
  range and reliability without additional
  bandwidth or transmit power
• Increased range and reliability
• The Ethernet data stream is split into two lower
  rate chains.
• These chains can be transmitted in lower rates,
  achieving longer ranges and higher reliability
• Increased capacity and improved spectral
  efficiency
• Each radio (chain) carries the full OFDM channel
  capacity
• Both radios use the same 20MHz channel
• Thus doubled capacity per the same channel
  bandwidth
• Improved availability
• The streams arrive at the receivers in different
  quality. MIMO chooses the best stream available
• Paths in poor quality are thus eliminated and
  availability increased
