3 Gbit/s E-Band radio

promo image for Ultralink product

UltraLink™-FX80 Compact Node (CN) is a native Ethernet E-Band radio that achieves a throughput of up to 3 Gbit/s full duplex. It supports a complete set of Carrier Ethernet networking and packet synchronization features. UltraLink™-FX80 CN's small size, weight and powering flexibility makes it ideal for installation in places where space is at a premium and support structures and powering arrangements are not of telco grade, such as street-level locations.

UltraLink™-FX80 CN can fit in a multitude of use cases, such as, macro, micro, and small-cell backhaul and fronthaul applications for 2G, 3G, 4G RAN, fixed wireless access (FWA) base station/ WiFi backhaul, connectivity services for government / public service buildings, large enterprise and factory sites, shipping ports, logistics depos, university campuses, industrial park sites to name a few.
