26
NetAxis Adaptive Coding Modulation (ACM)

• ACM with QoS

Ensuring maximum bandwidth under all weather
conditions With QoS guaranteed critical services
all the time Increasing capacity Extending reach
with lower availability
27
NetAxis Adaptive Coding Modulation (ACM)

• Radio Resource Control (RRC)

• RRC ACM is optimally combined with Automatic
  Transmit Power Control (ATPC)
• RRC achieves the perfect balance according to
  user selection between
• Maximizing at any time the available link
  capacity
• Minimizing at any time interference
• ATPC operational modes
• ATPC emitting the maximum available power per
  ACM mode
• ATPC emitting the optimum power per ACM mode for
  the remote receiver
• Manual power selection is also possible
• RRC algorithm for each link direction is
  controlled by the transmitter CPU independently
• Communication channel will exchange info on
  remote RX level, BER figures, C/N

Maximum Bandwidth with minimum power consumption
28
NetAxis Adaptive Coding Modulation (ACM)

• ACM Reach Extension Example

• Case Study of 14 MHz at 15 GHz
• Link length is now fixed at 30 Km
• 16QAM availability at 30 Km 99.996
• What is the 256 QAM availability at 30 Km?
• 256 QAM at 30 Km is up 99.8919 of time
• Availability just 0.1 lower than 16QAM
• Capacity doubled!

Over 100 length and Capacity increase - no
availability compromise

NetAxis XPIC Radio Link Aggregation (RLA)
(Roadmap)

• XPIC doubles air throughput over same Channel
  Bandwidth
• E.g., 1x28 MHz, XPIC, max 375 Mbps net traffic
• 11 XPIC in 1RU unit
• RLA combines 2 or more air links into one
  logical link
• E.g., 20 can achieve gross capacity 800 Mbps
• Link speeds may be different
• Benefits
• Higher total capacity of logical link
• Load balancing among air links
• Increased availability
• When a link fails its traffic will be forwarded
  to
• the other link and in case of congestion priority
  
• will be given to the high-priority ETH frames
• Combining RLA and XPIC enables the most
  efficient and resilient air link utilization

XPIC saves CAPEX - 100 less frequency bandwidth
allocation

NetAxis Advantages over Hybrid Radios
MW Hybrid
NetAxis

• Service-oriented transmission with no correlation
  between interface and transmission
• Dynamic capacity allocation between TDM, ATM and
  ETH services
• Services are treated according to their QoS
  requirements even on TDM
• Service Overbooking in a multi-technology
  environment TDM, ATM, Ethernet
• All services over a common layer, any kind of
  traffic can share a common radio pipe. Radio
  bandwidth is utilized at 100

• Direct correlation between interface and
  transmission
• Additional Ethernet switches overlaying
  mandatory TDM matrix
• No possibility to differentiate TDM services
  with different QoS requirements
• No aggregation, no overbooking on services using
  TDM connectivity.
• Inefficient solution in case of full Ethernet
  traffic (WiMAX, LTE) could require external
  switches

Less cost per bit - Ability to overbook
available capacity
