POINT-TO-POINT DIGITAL MICROWAVE LINKS

Aprisa XE: maximizing spectrum use and making challenging long distance The Aprisa XE in brief
links possible l Licensed 2.5 GHz frequency band
l Built-in cross-connect and multiplexer
l Efficient future-proof single-box architecture: the Aprisa XE’s built-in multiplexer and cross-connect l Up to 2392 kbit/s capacity
eliminate external equipment and minimize the over-the-air requirements, with customer-configurable l 250 kHz and 500 kHz channel sizes
interface slots integrating all IP, voice and data traffic. Configuration, performance monitoring and l QPSK to 64 QAM modulation
diagnostics are easy with the 4RF embedded web-based element management system, SuperVisor. l Range of 80+ miles
l Industry-leading reliability
l High capacity: class-leading spectral efficiency and up to 64 QAM modulation make the maximum use l Web server and SNMP management
of the available spectrum, with industry leading capacity of up to 2392 kbit/s in a 500 kHz channel. l All voice, data and IP applications
l MHSB and HSD protection options
l Long range: a single 2.5 GHz Aprisa XE can link distances in excess of 80 miles, overcoming the problems
of water, environmental conditions and topographical obstacles. Future-proof single-box architecture

l Carrier-class performance: Aprisa XE links are engineered to achieve ‘five 9s’ availability, benefiting
from state of the art forward error correction and inherent low latencies, for unrivaled quality of service.

l Cost effective: the Aprisa XE has a low total cost of ownership, providing a rapid return on investment
by minimizing both capital and operational expenditure.

l Redundancy options: Monitored Hot Standby and Hitless Space Diversity are available for protection in
mission-critical applications.

l Reliable: the Aprisa XE has an actual MTBF of 95.72 years. It can be relied upon to perform in the harshest
and most remote environments.
