CAMPBELL, CA--(Marketwire - June 2, 2009) - Exalt
Communications, the company that is reinventing microwave backhaul,
today announced availability of the EX-s Series GigE carrier-class, split-mount microwave radio
systems for the 6 to 40 GHz ANSI/FCC and ITU/ETSI licensed bands. These
point-to-point systems offer mobile operators, government agencies and
enterprises new levels of backhaul flexibility and functionality, enabling
smooth, low-cost TDM to IP migration and supporting mobile network
evolution from 3G to HSPA/4G/LTE.
The EX-s GigE
systems offer capacities from 20 Mbps to 365 Mbps per carrier, and
feature hitless and errorless adaptive modulation and coding to maximize
spectrum utilization and availability over any given channel bandwidth and
under changing environmental conditions. The EX-s GigE radios also support
Exalt's unique multi-radio, multi-band, capacity aggregation, enabling up
to four systems in any band combination, licensed or license-exempt, to
deliver up to 1 Gbps full-duplex throughput over a single Gigabit Ethernet
port.
"We've been watching Exalt since they entered the microwave backhaul market
three years ago," said Michael Howard, co-founder and principal analyst,
carrier networks, Infonetics Research. "I have been impressed with their
in-house approach to microwave technology development, which allows them to
be one of the few companies offering both licensed and license-exempt
product lines -- and now it is natural for Exalt to expand its global
product set with point-to-point microwave systems for both ANSI/FCC and
ITU/ETSI bands."
Featuring native TDM and native Gigabit Ethernet transport for HSPA/4G/LTE
migration, Exalt EX-s
GigE systems also include an integrated Gigabit Ethernet switch,
automatic transmit power control (ATPC), a built-in E1 cross-connect, a
built-in spectrum analyzer, AES encryption, QoS, VLAN and secure
management. The IDUs are fully software configurable and provide both PDH
and SDH capacities up to 2xOC-3 in a streamlined 1RU form factor that
eliminates the need for additional hardware modules.
"Unprecedented demand for bandwidth-intensive content, coupled with the
migration from TDM to IP networks, is forcing mobile operators and private
network owners worldwide to upgrade their backhaul capacities
significantly," said Amir Zoufonoun, CEO of Exalt Communications. "Laying
new fiber is cost-prohibitive, and leasing additional T1s simply does not
scale. Our new EX-s GigE microwave radio systems offer a full suite of
integrated features that enable cost-effective and risk-free network
migration including 3G to LTE evolution, and allow customers to
future-proof their networks while reducing CapEx and OpEx for a rapid
return on investment."
All
Exalt radio systems -- licensed and license-exempt -- are carrier-class
systems offering guaranteed link availability, guaranteed throughput and
low, constant latency. Systems are available in frequencies from 2 to 40
GHz and in capacities up to 1000 Mbps, providing a range of options to fit
countless network applications. Designed to enable a smooth transition to
IP, they offer native support for both TDM and Ethernet, and are fully
software configurable and upgradeable. For easy and secure management using
third-party network management systems, Exalt systems support SNMP v1, v2c
and v3. Data security is provided by available FIPS-197 compliant AES
128-bit and 256-bit encryption that adds zero latency to the transmission.
To simplify installation and maintenance, all Exalt systems feature an
embedded user manual and most include a built-in spectrum analyzer.
Exalt EX-s Series GigE microwave radio systems are available immediately.
