STRIKE THE RIGHT BALANCEToday’s converged multi-service networks need high capacity, availability,reliability and security with low latency and true affordability. In addition,you have budgetary, environmental, infrastructure and deploymentrequirements that have to be considered. Satisfying all these conditionstakes a real balancing act. Our Cambium Point-to-Point (PTP) 800 SeriesLicensed Ethernet Microwave solutions strike just the right balance ofperformance and cost.THE PERFECT FITPTP 800i ALL-INDOOR SOLUTIONSPTP 800 solutions are designed to satisfy the demand forreliable, high-throughput, and secure Internet Protocol(IP-based) licensed-microwave communications at anaffordable price. Within the PTP 800 family of solutions,we offer two equipment architectures – split-mount andall-indoor. The solutions are designed to provideconnectivity and backhaul for a broad array of applications,while giving you the flexibility to choose the architecturethat best meets your tower and facility considerations.Our PTP 800i All-Indoor systems deliver up to 236 Mbps(full duplex) over configurable channel bandwidths from10 to 40 MHz. The radios operate over FederalCommunication Commission (FCC) and Industry Canada (IC)authorized 6 and 11 GHz frequencies and the FCC-authorized7 GHz frequency. For deployments where weather conditionslimit tower climbs or where towers are located in areas thatare not easily accessible, our All-Indoor solution offers anexcellent alternative. Once installed, you have convenientaccess to the equipment without a tower climb.TYPICAL CUSTOMERS Public Safety Agencies Government – Civilian andMilitary Oil and Gas Companies Transportation Organizations Utility Companies Wireless Internet ServiceProviders (WISPs) Banks and Financial Institutions Enterprises CarriersPTP 800 SPLIT-MOUNT SOLUTIONSOur PTP 800 Split-Mount systems deliver up to 368 Mbps(full duplex) throughput with user-configurable channelbandwidths from 7 to 56 MHz. The systems operate in the6 to 38 GHz radio frequency (RF) bands, providing a rangeof traditional licensed microwave options that comply withyour local regulatory guidelines.1 Our Split-Mount systemsare easy to deploy and typically are installed in a day or two.PTP 800 Split-Mount links consist of an outdoor radio unit(ODU), a Compact Modem Unit (CMU), an antenna and theappropriate accessories. The radio unit and antenna aredeployed on a tower, mast or rooftop. The ODU is connecteddirectly to the antenna and cable-connected to the CMUwhich is installed inside your building or equipment housingstructure. Our Split-Mount systems offer the convenienceof an indoor CMU with the cost savings afforded by cableversus waveguide.PTP 800Outdoor Unit (ODU)PTP 800i All-Indoor links consist of an Indoor RadioFrequency Unit (IRFU) and a CMU installed inside a buildingor equipment housing structure. Both units are designed tobe rack mounted. All-Indoor systems use the same CMU asour Split-Mount systems. The high-power radio sends andreceives transmissions through a waveguide which connectsthe IRFU to an antenna on a tower, mast or rooftop. You cancustom configure your PTP 800 solution as an all split-mountsystem, an all-indoor system, or a combination of the two,allowing you to engineer your wireless network in the mostcost-efficient manner.PTP 800i solutions offer the highest transmit power andsystem gain in their category, enabling the radios to transmitreliably over distances up to 50 miles (80 km) in a single hop.Embedded spatial diversity helps to overcome anyinterference and fading caused by atmospheric conditions. Local regulatory requirementsshould be confirmed prior tosystem purchase.1PTP 800i Indoor RadioFrequency Unit (IRFU)PTP 800Compact Modem Unit (CMU)PTP 800 BROCHURE from Release 05-00 – PAGE 2
So, you can communicate over water and flat terrain. Plus,the system’s eco-mode reduces power consumption.CAPACITY AS YOU GROWTypically, demand for capacity grows during the life of anetwork. To accommodate that growth, you can purchasethe PTP 800 throughput you need today and increasethroughput capacity as needed. This capacity-as-you-growscalability can reduce your initial capital expenditureby not having to pay for tomorrow’s needs with today’sbudget. Instead, you can match throughput capacity toyour application requirements or, for carriers and serviceproviders, to your developing demand and revenue stream.In addition, you can assign different throughput capacitiesto the up and down links.PTP 800 Compact Modem Units are shipped with a factoryset 10 Mbps capacity cap, meaning that throughput is set toa maximum of 10 Mbps at the user Ethernet port. When yourequire more than 10 Mbps, you can upgrade the throughputcapacity without any change to the hardware. Single-step orstep-by-step capacity upgrades can be implemented at thetime of purchase and/or anytime after deployment.ZERO-DOWNTIME ADAPTIVEMODULATIONThe PTP 800’s dynamic Adaptive Coding and Modulation(ACM) feature provides performance benefits for manyIP-based applications. When ACM is selected, the systemautomatically “up-shifts” and “down-shifts” the modulationand/or coding rate as path conditions change. This enablesradio transmitters and receivers to negotiate the highestmutually sustainable data rate.During good weather, the radio will “up-shift” to a highermodulation level and/or higher coding rate to improvespectral efficiency and increase throughput and availability.If the link’s Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) falls belowthe threshold that your link can sustain, as can occurduring heavy rain, the radio will “down shift” to a lowermodulation level and/or lower coding rate. The resultingimprovement in receive sensitivity enables your link tocontinue operating.With exceptionally smooth change steps, errorless codingand modulation technology, and a hitless algorithm, youwill experience no service interruption as the modulationsteps from one level to another. Many comparable systemsneed several seconds to adjust the modulation mode whichcauses outages as the radios switch modes.PTP 800 BROCHURE from Release 05-00 – PAGE 3FAILSAFE COMMUNICATIONSThere are many applications such as 9-1-1 dispatch,video surveillance, and online stock trades for which acommunication outage is just not acceptable. In suchcrucial situations, you will want hardware redundancyto support your vital functions with uninterrupted, realtime communications. While hardware redundancy is notrequired to deploy PTP 800 links, it is recommended for eachlink which supports a critical application or process.MULTI-LEVELSECURITY FIPS 140-2 128/256-bit AES encryption HTTPS/TLS and SNMP v3 Authenticated SNTP Identity-based user accounts Event management Quick-restore configurationfile Vulnerability scanning andresolutionPTP 800 links can be deployed as 1 1 hot standby (HSB)links, 2 0 redundant links in a ring or mesh configuration,and non-redundant links. HSB links are designed to providefull redundancy in the event of a single CMU (CompactModem Unit) or radio (either ODU or IRFU) failure at one orboth ends of a link. If a failure occurs, the secondary unitwill automatically take over communications. You can alsoachieve redundancy by deploying PTP 800 systems in aring or mesh configuration with two independent links andan external switch. Non-redundant links are good choicesto support applications for which you would not incursignificant consequences in the event of a failure. If youdeploy a non-redundant link, you can later upgrade to a 1 1or 2 0 configuration without changing your hardware.INFORMATION SAFEGUARDSWhile many traditional microwave solutions offer fewersecurity features, our PTP 800 systems support a robust,multi-layered approach to information security. To protectyour over-the-air transmissions, PTP 800 radios include ourproprietary air interface. Added protection can be appliedwith Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) 197compliant 128-bit or 256-bit Advanced Encryption Standard(AES) encryption.PTP 800 systems also meet FIPS 140-22 guidelines forcryptographic algorithms, key security and tamper evidence.Together AES and FIPS 140-2 offer robust security to protecthighly sensitive information from malicious incidents. (AESand FIPS 140-2 are optional features.)Added security features include: HTTPS/TLS and SNMP v3: HTTPS/TLS, the secureversion of HTTP, protects the system’s managementinterface. Simple Network Management Protocol(SNMP) version 3 adds security and remote configurationenhancements to SNMP. In certain cases, a license key isrequired to implement these capabilities. Authenticated SNTP: PTP 800 systems supportauthenticated Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP)messaging. FIPS 140-2 certification statusmay be confirmed tml2
RADIUS: You can employ identity-based user accountswith configurable password rules to control user accessto the radios. Then Remote Authentication Dial-In UserService (RADIUS) can be used to remotely authenticateusers and their levels of access based on your networkpolicies. Event Management: Security and other events arelogged locally and, optionally, can be sent to a centralizedlogging server using syslog. Typical messages includesuccessful and failed log-in events and changes tosecurity configuration. Disaster Recovery: Our “save and restore” feature letsyou back up a radio’s operating configuration file. Thenthe file can be restored quickly and easily if a unit mustbe reset or replaced. Vulnerability Management: Using commerciallyavailable tools, we regularly scan PTP 800 systems forvulnerabilities and those that pose significant risk areresolved.It is less expensive to pay and insure ground-basedpersonnel to deploy and maintain the equipment than itis for specialized personnel to climb towers and work onelectronic equipment. So, eliminating tower climbs cansignificantly reduce operating costs. In addition, tradeunions can be reluctant to approve tower climbing by theirmembers, making all-indoor systems more viable in suchcases.EASY, ACCURATE LINK PLANNINGEND-TO-END WIRELESS MANAGEMENTOur easy-to-use Cambium PTP LINKPlanner tool allowsyou to accurately project performance characteristics priorto purchase based on your specific radio path conditions.You can plan and optimize a single link or multiple linkssimultaneously, obtain configuration details to speeddeployment, display a comprehensive overview of yourentire wireless network via Google Earth and receive acomplete licensed-microwave Bill-of-Materials to simplifythe ordering process. LINKPlanner is available as a standalone tool on our web site.REDUCED INSTALLATION COSTSOptimized hardware design and easy-to-follow deploymentassistance information significantly reduce deploymentman-hours and costs. A Split-Mount solution includesan ODU and a CMU. The ODU and CMU are connectedby a single intermediate frequency (IF) cable. The CMU’sextremely small, physical footprint greatly reduces rackspace requirements. You can even mount the CMU on a wallor place it on a table if rack space is scarce or non-existent.In our All-Indoor solution, the IRFU and CMU are installedindoors with only the antenna on a tower or rooftop. So, youdo not have to climb a tower to install either the IRFU orCMU. The IRFU and antenna are connected by a waveguide.Typically, both the IRFU and CMU are rack mounted. EachIRFU can support up to two transceivers and two antennaports – one port for the main antenna and one for a diversityantenna. All assemblies in the IRFU are field replaceable,including the transceivers, fans, branching units and RFcables.PTP 800 BROCHURE from Release 05-00 – PAGE 4SYSTEM INTEGRATIONAll PTP 800 systems integrate seamlessly with our PTPlicense-exempt and defined-use licensed systems, as wellas our Point-to-Multipoint systems.
