10 Gbps wireless fiber solution

The Integra-E: Having the same Integra family characteristics of high-reliability, carrier-grade features, performance and a 5-year warranty extend the Integra family into the E-band frequencies, delivering 10 Gbps capacity. The Integra-E supports Adaptive Code Modulation and Bandwidth (ACMB) in which the coding rate, modulation, and bandwidth changes are set in real-time based on the link’s conditions. This feature enables a significant increase in payload capacity and link availability. ACMB switching is hitless, that is, the link stays locked, and data is transmitted without errors. In most countries, E-band radios are easy to deploy with no or minimal licensing requirements thus reducing the time of deployment and Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). Integra-E is a great microwave radio communications system for top quality, high capacity backhaul networks.
