TORRANCE, Calif., April 2, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Escape Communications, Inc., a leading provider of cost-optimized microwave radio Indoor Units (IDUs), today announced the availability a software update that reduces end-to-end latency of 12.9 μS on their Low Latency Indoor Unit (EXM-2LL).
The EXM-2LL is targeted towards time-critical applications such as electronic trading and specialized scientific networks. With 12.9 μS end-to-end latency the EXM-2LL is the market leader in the ultra-low-latency Point-to-Point Microwave market. The EXM-2LL provides a dedicated 100 Mbps Ethernet port for low-latency traffic. The software update enables error correction within the IDU to be bypassed and achieve latencies of 12.9 μS under specific link conditions.
The EXM-2LL builds on the proven EXM-2L platform, highly flexible and IDU that can be paired with a customer-unique or off-the-shelf outdoor unit (ODU) to provide a point-to-point (PTP) microwave connection and includes several key features:
- Carrier-grade IDU for licensed band operation (serving ANSI and ETSI markets)
- Native Ethernet transmission
- Embedded layer-2 switch with port-based VLAN security, rate limiting and QoS priority queuing for non low-latency traffic
- Extensive link management capabilities: SNMP, custom MIB and HTTP GUI support
"This software update solidifies Escape Communications as the leader in the low-latency microwave market," said co-founder and CEO, Michael Stewart. "By partnering with Escape for a low-latency solution, OEMs can capitalize on the rapidly growing market for time-critical applications."
