Multi-Gigabit IP/MPLS MW Transmission

OmniBAS™ is a multi-Gigabit smart packet Point-to-Point microwave (PtP MW) solution that ideally fits today's and tomorrow's bandwidth-intensive IP/MPLS transmission applications.

OmniBAS™ ideally implements the MW access & aggregation segments of mobile 4G+ / 5G networks, extends the reach of fixed broadband to rural areas and rapidly deploys IP/MPLS communication and control links for utility companies and governmental agencies. It offers multi-Gigabit IP radio capacity supporting market-leading modulations (4096-QAM) and channels up to 112 MHz, while at the same time enables an evolved and smooth migration to an IP/MPLS architecture. Legacy (TDM/SDH) services are seamlessly transported over Pseudowires with carrier-class reliability and the highest availability.

OmniBAS™ allows highly-flexible and cost-optimized link configurations through the use of all-outdoor (OmniBAS™-BX, OmniBAS™-OSDR) and split-mount (OmniBAS-2Wcx) units in tail sites, or through medium/high nodal solutions (OmniBAS-4Wv2 and OmniBAS-4Wcx / OmniBAS-4Wv2e, OmniBAS-4Wr and OmniBAS-8W) in traffic aggregation sites, all from the same platform.

OmniBAS™ CBAN (Converged Backhaul Aggregation Node), in particular, is a unique multi-technology solution allowing aggregation of PtP, Point-to-MultiPoint (PtMP) and E-Band links, and supporting a wide range of connectivity options (E1, SDH, GbE, 10GbE).

The advanced radio and smart packet networking features of OmniBAS™ products assure bandwidth optimization, carrier-class service delivery and highest-possible availability.
