The ion8xle point to point UBR can achieve up to 2 Gbps of aggregate UL/DL throughput. The radio's performance is supported by an "effective wireless algorithm" and features like Dynamic Data Rate Selection (DDRS), which switches to optimal modulation based on site conditions. It supports a variety of channel bandwidths, including 20, 40, and 80 MHz, as well as flexible channel bonding for combinations up to 80+80 MHz to maximize throughput. The specific range is dependent on the configuration and line of sight, but the product is engineered for high-performance links.
The ion8xle point to point UBR uses Adaptive RF Technology, which combines AI algorithms with RF systems to optimize wireless communication performance in real-time. Key features include:
The ion8xle is built for ease of installation with a Plug-and-Play model. This allows for effortless deployment; a technician can simply input the IP address, and the radio will automatically fetch its configuration from the EMS server, leading to a quick and seamless setup. This feature, along with LED and buzzer support for alignment , helps to minimize field deployment costs as devices can be set up without the physical presence of a wireless expert.
Yes, the ion8xle is built for extreme durability and is IP67 certified for outdoor ingress protection. This means it can sustain challenging weather conditions and extreme temperatures from -40°C to 55°C. It also supports wind loads up to 180 km/hour and includes surge protection of up to 4kV via its PoE port.
The ion8xle PTP UBR can be managed either as a standalone device via its GUI or through an appliance-based EMS (Element Management System). It also supports key features for integration and planning, such as GPS + GLONASS + IRNSS location tracking and a Dying Gasp feature that proactively monitors customer-end power outages.
A backhaul is the link that connects a remote network or a local sub-network to a main, high-capacity network. Think of it as the "road" that carries data traffic from smaller local streets (like your home Wi-Fi) to the main highway (the internet backbone). It's a critical component for any network that needs to connect multiple remote locations, such as cellular towers, Wi-Fi hotspots, or business branches.
Backhaul is arguably the most critical component of a wireless network because it determines the overall performance and reliability. Without a robust backhaul link, the entire network can become a bottleneck, leading to slow speeds, high latency, and dropped connections. A high-performance backhaul ensures that the end-user's experience is consistently excellent, making it a key factor in subscriber satisfaction and network profitability.
Point-to-Point wireless refers to any wireless technology that creates a dedicated, directional link between two locations. It's often used as a "fiber alternative" to provide high-speed, reliable connectivity over a distance without the expense and time of laying physical cable. Our P2P UBRs are a leading example of this, offering multi-gigabit speeds and low latency for mission-critical applications.
