Ceragon’s Native2 MW radio technology

Native Carrier Ethernet

• Highest throughput - Optimal utilization of radio link bandwidth

• Lowest latency - <0.15msecs@400Mbps. Vital for VoIP & delay-sensitive applications

• Optimal radio link capacity utilization – No “legacy TDM” granularity constraints

Native TDM (E1/T1)

• Highest efficiency – no extra overhead typical of “TDM over packet” techniques

• Lowest latency

• Native TDM network synchronization – Meets the most stringent mobile network requirement

Extensive radio capacity/utilization statistics

• Statistics are collected for 15-minutes, and 24-hours intervals

• Statistics history is maintained

• Capacity/ACM statistics

• Maximum modulation in interval

• Minimum modulation in interval

• # of seconds in interval in which active modulation was below a user-

configured threshold

• Utilization statistics

• Maximal radio link utilization in interval

• Average radio link utilization in interval

• # of seconds in interval in which radio link utilization was above

a user-configured threshold

Ethernet in-band management

• IP-10 can optionally be managed through the traffic carrying radio and

Ethernet interfaces

• The in-band management support is based on a dedicated management

VLAN

• The management VLAN ID is user configurable

Eliminates the need for dedicated management interfaces and network
