Applications
The FibeAir IP-MAX Ethernet solutions offer cost-effective
high-capacity connectivity for private networks and carriers
in the fixed and cellular operator markets. The FibeAir
platform supports multi-service and converged networking
requirements for the latest data-rich applications and
services.
Campus Connectivity: Easy to install and operate, the FibeAir
IP-MAX Ethernet solutions provide transparent high-capacity
connection of enterprise LAN and PBX systems. Users can buy
capacity starting from 50 Mbps and can easily expand as
needed, using software upgradeable capacity. Hardware
optimization significantly reduces communication costs,
operating expenses and maintenance requirements. Ceragon’s
wireless connectivity is ideal for a variety of private
networks, such as corporate enterprises, education campuses,
governments, municipalities, hospitals, banks and others.
Backhaul for DSL Triple Play Networks: With the highest
available throughput on the market, FibeAir provides operators
with wireless GbE connectivity of IP-DSLAMs for economical
introduction of triple play services including VoIP, Internet
services and IPTV/HDTV over DSL. IP-DSLAM via wireless link is
essential where there is no fiber reach or as a cost-effective
alternative to leased lines.
WiMax Infrastructure Backhauling: Provides a robust and
cost-effective alternative to expensive leased lines, for
connectivity between WIMAX base stations expanding network
reach.
High-Speed Internet Wireless Backbone: Wireless Internet
Service Providers (WISPs) use backhaul to connect their Point
of Presence (POP). By deploying Ceragon’s wireless Ethernet
solutions, WISPs receive Fast/Gigabit Ethernet connectivity
and upgradeability paths for higher capacities, with the same
cost-effective system.
IP Backhaul for Point-to-Multipoint Networks: Delivers the
high-capacity necessary for broadband-rich applications, using
the same hardware package. FibeAir networks can be implemented
in mesh, ring and star topologies for full redundancy and
flexibility.
Cellular Network Backhaul and Access: FibeAir provides TDM for
cellular backhaul and Ethernet for data access, within the
same compact package. The system is suitable for 3G/UMTS and
“All-IP” networks, where carrier-grade Ethernet services are
required.
System Overview
Ceragon’s broadband Ethernet solutions enable native Ethernet
transmission with multiple frequencies, software selectable
capacities, modulation schemes and configurations for various
network requirements using the same hardware and
state-of-the-art technology. The system supports high-capacity
data services as well as traditional voice services, with both
Ethernet and TDM interfaces.
This innovative platform uses an “on-the-fly” upgrade method,
meaning that network operators only buy capacity as needed,
benefiting from savings on initial investments and OPEX.
The FibeAir IP-MAX IDU (Indoor Unit) can host up to two
carriers, each delivering up to 400 Mbps, optimizing the
solution for different network topologies and configurations.
Traffic capacity throughput and spectral efficiency are
optimized with the desired channel bandwidth. For maximum user
choice flexibility, channel bandwidths can be selected
together with a range of modulations, from QPSK to 256 QAM.
Two independent hotswappable Indoor unit modules (IDM) can be
used for hot-standby HW protection, diversity, East-West
configuration or double capacity (2+0).
High spectral efficiency is ensured by choosing the same
bandwidth for double the capacity, via two carriers with
vertical and horizontal polarizations. This feature is
implemented by a built-in XPIC mechanism.
TDM Voice Transmission with Dynamic Allocation - With nxE1/DS1
option, only enabled E1/DS1 ports are allocated with capacity.
The remaining capacity is dynamically allocated to the FE/GbE
ports to ensure maximum Ethernet capacity.
Fast Recovery Time to Support RSTP - When combined with a
switch/router that supports RSTP (Rapid Spanning Tree
Protocol), this feature enables fastest recovery time.
Highest Priority Level for BPDU Packets - To support optimal
operation of spanning tree protocols.
Fast Ethernet Indoor Modules (FE IDM)
Fast Ethernet IDM are hot-swappable modules that fit into the
FibeAir IP-MAX IDU providing a configurable high-capacity
Fast-Ethernet wireless transmission with quality-of-service
controls. Each Fast Ethernet IDM contains 2xFE ports or 2xFE
with 8xE1/DS1 ports and one radio interface.
Wire-speed FE IDM’s are available with a single FE port (100
or 50 Mbps throughput) or 2xFE ports with 200 Mbps full-duplex
throughput. Capacity upgrades using software-licensed keys
with specific serial numbers are available from 50 to 100 Mbps
throughput and from 100 to 200 Mbps throughput.
Physical Port Priority - If both Fast Ethernet ports are used,
total Ethernet capacity is dynamically allocated between the
two ports, or priority can be given to one port over the
other.
Built-in Quality of Service - Provides priority support
allowing user’s different classes of service, according to
VLAN priority (802.1p) and DiffServ / IPv4 TOS or IPv6 TC bits
values. All use 4 levels of prioritization with user
selectable options between strict priority queuing or weighted
fair queuing with 8:4:2:1 strict weights.
Layer 2 Switch – Enables two separate LAN connections while
ensuring security between them.
Gigabit Ethernet Indoor Modules (GbE IDM)
Gigabit Ethernet IDMs are hot-swappable modules that fit into
the FibeAir IP-MAX IDU providing Gigabit Ethernet wireless
transmission.
Each GbE IDM contains a GbE port or GbE with 8xE1/DS1 ports
and one radio interface. GbE IDMs are available with traffic
throughput of up to 400 Mbps full duplex per single radio
carrier.
Maximum Throughput - Of 800 Mbps over a single 56 MHz channel
is available, using co-channel & dual polarization (CCDP) with
XPIC and only one IDU (two IDMs with two carriers and two
different GbE physical interfaces).
Super Jumbo Frame Support - Gigabit IDM supports rame sizes of
up to 12,000 bytes. With this feature, FibeAir IP-MAX is ready
to support next generation Ethernet networks. In heavily
loaded networks, where continuous data transfer is required,
jumbo frames can significantly enhance the efficiency of
Ethernet servers and networks. Jumbo frames enable the
reduction of the packet processing by the server and thereby
increase end-to-end throughput.
End-to-End Network Management
Ceragon provides state-of-the-art management based on SNMP.
Our management applications are written in Java code and
enable management functions at both the element and network
levels. The applications run on Windows 2000/2003/XP and Sun
Solaris.
CeraView® is Ceragon’s SNMP-based EMS (Element Management
System) that enables the operator to perform element
configuration, RF and SDH performance monitoring, remote
diagnostics, alarm
reports and more. CeraView integrates with different 3rd party
NMS (Network Management System) platforms to provide
end-to-end system management.
PolyView™ is Ceragon's NMS server that includes CeraMap™, its
friendly and powerful client graphical interface. PolyView can
be used to update and monitor network topology status, provide
statistical and inventory reports, define end-to-end traffic
trails, download software and configure elements in the
network. In addition, it can integrate with Northbound NMS
platforms, to provide enhanced network management. |
