Long Haul Wireless Transmission or ‘Trunking’

• Wireless remains the only medium

to enable many operators to deploy
nation-wide networks
• Provides backbone network where
fiber is not available, too expensive,
or not secure
• Spans difficult terrain over long
distances in challenging
environments

Chains of links can cover thousands of miles
across a continent
• Fast to deploy
• A national backbone network can be established
in less than a year
• Common infrastructure
• Shares the same towers as GSM/3G/WiMAX
networks

Designed for Maximum Trunking Performance

• Designed for highest level of performance and

protection, not adapted from a split-mount
product
• Dual plane propagation and equipment
protection architecture
• Wide ATPC dynamic range (Manual TPC
available)
• In-Phase (IP) combiner type Space Diversity
w/Automatic Static and Dynamic DADE
• Errorless/hitless N+1 Radio protection switching
(RPS) for carrier grade transmission

6 AVIAT NETWORKS | NOVEMBER 2012

Industry's highest rack density

• 16 radio channels in a single sub-rack

• Support for M+0, N+1 Terminal or Repeater and
(M+1/N+1) Terminal, ACAP/ACCP/CCDP
• Purpose-designed for all indoor installation
trunking applications
• Other competing radios are adapted from
access-type split-mount designs
• No cable interconnections between baseband,
transceiver modules and branching unit
• Very low power consumption

Adaptive Modulation

• WTM 6000 introduces 256QAM

Adaptive Modulation (AM) on a
trunking radio for the first time
• Dynamically varies link modulation
depending upon path conditions
• Allows use of 256QAM for higher
throughput, with little degradation
of path performance or length
• Reduces costs - smaller antennas,
less tower loading

GE-SW “Port” Protection in a card, 1 or 2 per shelf
GE-ADPT

GE-ADPT
x8 • GE-SW card supports 2 types of port protection

... 1. L2LA: Using Layer 2 Link Aggregation function

inside GE-SW
• When Port 1 fails, Port 2 can handle the packet data
Radio GE-SW
to/from 8 x GE-ADAPT cards (Up to 1 x 1GbE)

• Note: Both of Port 1 & 2 are in normal state, the total

throughput of line side is up to 2 x 1GbE.
Line

Port 2

2. L2LA: Spanning Tree Protocol, STP/RSTP

• GE-SW always selects Port 1 or Port 2 to handle the

packet data to/from 8 x GE-ADAPT cards. The total
throughput of line side is up to 1 x 1GbE, in this case.
