Overview

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.

Benefits

• Up to 3 Gbit/s full-duplex Ethernet throughput in simple 1+0 link configuration.
• Highest spectrum efficiency (up to 1024-QAM modulation) provides more capacity for a channel size.
• Market-leading system gain for longer E-Band link range.
• Support of transport of Ethernet and native CPRI traffic in the same unit.
• Support of Synchronous Ethernet and IEEE 1588v2 TC & BC.
• Powering mode versatility (DC or AC) and small form-factor for deployment even in non-telco sites.
• Integrated radio link quality monitoring and diagnostics, offering enhanced channel quality monitoring, channel impairment identification and troubleshooting.
• Operation in low-licensing cost spectrum.
