UltraLink™-GX80 is a high-performance, high-capacity E-Band (71-76 / 81-86 GHz) radio designed for use in demanding wireless transport applications. Its cutting-edge modem and RF transceiver technology deliver market-leading E-Band link range at 10 Gbit/s full duplex throughput. UltraLink™-GX80 is a uniquely versatile fully-outdoor radio suitable for wide variety of applications.

Ultralink-GX80 paraboli antenna 30cm

It supports Ethernet/IP, eCPRI or CPRI traffic transport, while offering a rich set of L2 and L3 networking features for the delivery of Carrier Ethernet and IP/MPLS-based services. UltraLink™-GX80 is ideally suited for 4G/4G+/5G RAN backhaul, midhaul and fronthaul or any transport application in Ethernet/IP-based networks as an alternative to optical fiber.

Benefits

  • Up to 10 Gbit/s full-duplex throughput, in 1+0 configuration, offering the most cost-effective alternative to optical fibre.
  • Up to 20 Gbit/s full-duplex capacity over a single antenna in 2+0 XPIC configuration.
  • Highest System Gain at 10Gbit/s, enabling 10Gbit/s operation for >14km ranges.
  • Dual Band configuration support, based on L1-link aggregation, with INTRACOM TELECOM or Third-Party MW radios enhances link range/availability for up to 10Gbit/s throughput E-Band-based links.
  • Transport of Ethernet, eCPRI or CPRI traffic on the same unit supports multiple 4G/5G RAN architectures.
  • Offers advanced L2 & IP/MPLS networking functionality without the need for additional networking devices.
  • Integrated radio link quality monitoring and diagnostics enables faster deployment and efficient troubleshooting.
  • As a compact outdoor radio it minimizes cabinet and pole space requirements and related TCO.
  • Operation in low-licensing cost spectrum.
