CUSTOMER BENEFITS

– Full frequency 6 GHz to 38 GHz coverage to address any application, offering very high modulation schemes to reach 4 Gbps capacity transport in a single compact unit.

– SM-OS Single Operating system common to all the SIAE MICROELETTRONICA’s product platform.

– The SM-OS accelerates the distribution of new carrier grade features throughout the network. It guarantees common consistent behavior and operational capacity for the entire portfolio. It brings flexibility where it is needed.

– Unmatched spectrum efficiency and larger channel selection (single 10 MHz up to 2×80 MHz channels).

– Integrated XPIC capability using 34% less power consumption than dual single carrier solution.

– Future proof architecture that quadruples the throughput, achieves better link availability and reduces the antenna size.

– Best in class system gain for Microwave Backhaul in all the frequency bands.

– Drastic reduction in TCO thanks to high level of integration and Zero foot print.
