Overview

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 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 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 architecture. Legacy (TDM) 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-BXd, OmniBAS™-OSDR, OmniBAS-BXca) 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, GbE, 10GbE).

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