IP-50E – 20Gbps/link Universal E-Band Radio

The IP-50E universal E-Band radio introduces ultra-high capacity of up to 20Gbps to your network, supporting a pay-as-you-grow strategy with up to two units in XPIC configuration with layer-1 carrier bonding over a single cable. Wherever you need fiber-like capacity for fronthaul, backhaul or wireless access applications, the IP-50E is your cost-efficient, easy-to-deploy fiber-replacement solution.

The IP-50E also allows extended E-Band reach with no compromise on availability, thanks to its unique multiband capability. Using layer-1 carrier bonding, the IP-50E enables you to combine this high-capacity carrier with any additional microwave, fiber or leased line connection, thereby insuring your high-priority service offering meets its SLA target.

Combined with Ceragon’s IP-50C or IP-20C 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.
