EX-5i-16 Field-upgradeable 4-16xT1/E1 + 10/100BaseT - Tri-band Wireless Backhaul Microwave Radio

The EX-5i-16 wireless backhaul microwave radio from Exalt Communications is a new breed of all-indoor 5 GHz radio, specifically designed for demanding mobile backhaul applications requiring remote field-upgradeable capacity expansion.

The EX-5i-16 is the only tri-band 5GHz digital microwave radio with software expandability from 4 to 16 T1/E1 plus 100BaseT. Operating in the 5.25-5.35 GHz, 5.4-5.725 GHz, and 5.725-5.850 GHz band, the EX-5i-16 is a carrier class system with minimal latency, high spectral efficiency, security, and unprecedented spectrum management flexibility.

The EX-5i-16 delivers maximum TDM capacity and IP functionality in one compact 1.5 RU package for the most demanding backhaul applications.

Exalt’s breakthrough spectrum-management technology provides up to 54 non-overlapping frequency channels, with 1 MHz fine tuning capability across the three 5GHz bands. This results in as many as 415 center frequencies of operation to choose from without new hardware or system re-tuning. As an additional interference countermeasure, the EX-5i-16 provides 8, 16, and 32 MHz channel bandwidths and synchronization to help maximize band usability and throughput. And, to support TDM to IP service migration strategies, the EX-5i-16 provides a smooth upgrade path to higher T1/E1 capacities and Ethernet services.

The system provides software expandability from 4 to 16 T1/E1 and a smooth upgrade path to higher capacity Ethernet services.  TDM capacity may be convenienty expanded in groups of four ports via firmware option.

All this, while providing the lowest cost per megabit-mile in the market today!
