CableFree LCR - Low Cost Microwave Radio

Wireless Excellence LCR is a range of high performance low cost microwave radios using licensed frequencies in the common 4-42GHz bands. Using advanced modulation techniques, mixed PDH and native IP/Ethernet traffic up to 170Mbps capacity can be transmitted reliably.

Microwave radio is an established technology used by telecommunication operators and organizations where quality of service is ensured through careful frequency and link planning. Wireless Excellence Microwave Radios are distinguished by high performance, advanced radio features and flexible reconfigurable network interfaces.

Wireless Excellence Microwave radios are high performance, modern generation wireless networking platforms supporting mixed IP/Ethernet and PDH interfaces, operating from 3.5 to 42GHz frequency bands and payloads from 16 to 170Mbps. Wireless Excellence has pioneered the use of Software-Defined Radio, which enables in-service upgrades, remote configuration, low equipment costs. Wireless Excellence Microwave systems offer users maximum useful lifespan and minimal capital and operating expenditure (CAPEX and OPEX).

Advanced networking features in the Wireless Excellence Microwave IDU include scalable Ethernet capacities up to 170Mbps and PDH interfaces up to 16E1/T1 channels. High availability configurations include 1+1 protection.

Operating distances vary depending on local weather conditions, specifically link frequency and rain intensity. Planning for microwave wave spectrum use must take into account the propagation characteristics of radio signals at this frequency range. While signals at lower frequency bands can propagate for tens of miles, higher frequency microwave signals can travel only a few miles or less. Higher frequency microwaves can permit more densely packed communications links, with very efficient spectrum utilization.
