FLEX4G-3000 – 80 GHz Multi-Gigabit Ethernet, CPRI, and SONET/SDH Wireless Backhaul for 4G/LTE Networks

As mobile data consumption increases exponentially, operators are looking for a backhaul solution that provides the lowest Total Cost of Ownership with the flexibility to easily scale to meet tomorrow’s bandwidth demands. BridgeWave’s Flex4G-3000 with support for backhaul capacity of up to 3.2 Gbps per radio while operating in spectrally efficient 256QAM modulation has been designed to alleviate the strain of backhaul connections by combining advanced radio and modem capabilities with carrier-grade Ethernet, CPRI, and SONET/SDH features at the lowest total cost of ownership.

BridgeWave’s highly integrated RF and spectrally efficient signal processing techniques provide for the longest link distances, while maintaining multi-gigabit speeds in narrow channel bandwidths. Further enabling future-proof transport, Flex4G-3000 allows operators to flexibly provision links across multiple network topologies including mixing Ethernet, CPRI, and SONET/SDH traffic.

Carrier Ethernet services are provided through the use of an integrated low-latency switch supporting jumbo frames and advanced Ethernet functionality including Quality of Service (QoS), VLAN support, Provider Bridge (Q-in-Q), Radio Link Aggregation (RLA) and Ethernet OAM management. Flex4G-3000 provides comprehensive timing support required for 4G/LTE deployments including Synchronous Ethernet and IEEE1588v2 with hardware-based timestamping for one-step or two-step clocks.

With ultra-low power consumption and PoE power along with direct DC power, Flex4G-3000 provides all of the above in an environmentally friendly, compact and lightweight, zero-footprint all-outdoor solution.

Flex4G-3000 leverages BridgeWave’s expertise in providing high reliability gigabit millimeter wave wireless solutions. BridgeWave has delivered tens of thousands of gigabit millimeter wave radios worldwide.
