RADIOS/80GHz/ UltraLink-BX70
UltraLink™-BX70, an ultra-compact, all-outdoor Ethernet radio operating in the 71-76 GHz part of the E-Band spectrum, is ideally suitedfor use in cost-sensitive, high-capacity applications.
Operating in TDD mode, UltraLink™-BX70 can offer flexibility and efficiency in the delivery of services with asymmetric traffic profiles, suchas broadband access or camera backhaul services. It achieves throughputs of up to 1.6 Gbit/s aggregate, while offering a complete set ofCarrier Ethernet networking features to deliver standardized SLA-enabling services.
UltraLink™-BX70 is designed to be easily mounted on poles and lamp posts (up to 300 mm in diameter), to enable convenience and speedof installation in traditional telco, as well as, street-level environments. UltraLink™-BX70 perfectly meets the demands of applications suchas: last-mile delivery of wireless Gigabit To The Home / Building / Premises (GTTH/B/P) services, Gigabit connectivity services to SMEsand larger enterprises, connectivity for government / public service buildings, utilities & industrial complexes, university campus buildinginterconnection, security camera and Wi-Fi access point backhaul
Benefits
- Ideal for cost-sensitive wireless GTTH and enterprise connectivity services.
- Enables fast and flexible network deployment and services activation.
- Implements complex Ethernet distribution network topologies without external switch equipment.
- Maximizes spectral efficiency for asymmetric traffic broadband access and camera backhaul networks
High Radio Capacity with High Spectral Efficiency
UltraLink™-BX70’s 1.6Gbit/s aggregate L1 Ethernet capacity is achieved by combining an industry-leading spectral efficiency (using256-QAM modulation) with bandwidth optimization in a 250MHz-wide channel. The BX70’s high spectral efficiency enables the use ofnarrower channels. Operation in narrower channels also increases the overall number of available channel options in a band, which allowsfor denser link deployments through the reduction of frequency reuse and facilitation of RF planning for interference minimization.
Operating in TDD mode, UltraLink™-BX70 can, time-wise, allocate the use of the spectral resources in a way that it optimally matches thedownlink/uplink traffic profile. This improves the link spectral efficiency, with respect to FDD systems, for the delivery of services withasymmetric traffic profiles.
UltraLink™-BX70’s 7-level Hitless Adaptive Modulation and Coding can provide seamless system gain & capacity trade-off to enablehighest capacity/spectral efficiency for most of the time and continuous link operation under adverse propagation conditions.
Reliable & Flexible Carrier Ethernet Service Delivery
The UltraLink™-BX70 radio unit features two Gigabit Ethernet ports and an embedded Carrier Ethernet Bridge, which allows deploymentin complex network topologies such as, branched access distribution networks and protected ring topologies with add-drop functionality,without requiring additional switching equipment. When the delivery of business-critical services requires high availability, UltraLink™-BX70 can be deployed in ring configurations with fast protection, using the ITU-T G.8032v2 ERP standard protocol.
Standards-based Service & Link OAM Support
Support of Service OAM, based on the IEEE 802.1ag and ITU-T G.8013/Y.1731 standards, and Link OAM, based on IEEE 802.3ah standard,means that UltraLink™-BX70 is capable of offering Carrier-grade Ethernet OAM features, enabling operators to provide manageable L2end-to-end services to their customers.
Comprehensive QoS
UltraLink™-BX70 offers per-service QoS treatment of the transported traffic based on L1, L2 and L3 classifiers. Strict priority (SP), WeightedRound Robin (WRR), Weighted Fair Queuing (WFQ) or Hybrid SP+WRR/WFQ scheduling schemes are cleverly applied to eight CoS / queuesto enable the most suitable prioritization treatment for critical management, control plane or time sensitive traffic, while supportingrevenue-generating service differentiation for user plane. Colour-aware WRED is applied as a means to gracefully manage potentialqueue congestion. Furthermore, policing and shaping are applied to the incoming/outgoing service flows allowing the definition andconformance of services to the desired profiles.
Compact Units Designed for Deployment Everywhere
UltraLink™-BX70 is a lightweight, zero-footprint, all-outdoor system that offers deployment flexibility and ease for deployment on towers,rooftops as well as street-level environments. With its small form-factor ODUs (200 x 200 x 30 mm) and specially-designed mountingbracket, the UltraLink™-BX70 radios can easily be deployed on poles and even lamp posts with diameters of up to 300 mm. Configurationoptions with low-cost Class 2, 30 cm direct mount antennas, as well as, high-performance Class 3, 30 cm or 60 cm parabolic antennas, areavailable to cater for any deployment scenario.
