Introducing the most recent member of the Evolution Series: Evolution LONG HAUL. A versatile and effective microwave radio solution for long haul telecommunication networks.

The Nera Evolution Series LONG HAUL microwave radio system is part of the software defined microwave radio family, offering a unique flexibility and scalability. The long haul high capacity microwave radio is based on the Evolution Series common platform concept.

The Evolution single-platform architecture
One platform for all needs simplifies logistics and reduces life cycle cost dramatically. The long haul configuration is available as both all indoor installations and as a split-mount installation with the radio units mounted at the antenna.

The long haul configuration is available in the frequency bands 5-11 GHz.

Industry-leading power efficiency
The unique adaptive power control in Evolution Series results in the most power efficient long haul system in the market. This is directly translated into cost savings for the operator.

The power consumption in telecom equipment, directly results in heat and site heat management is costly. In solar power sites, this cost of power alone makes the business case for the Evolution Series even more compelling and unique.

The Evolution Series LONG HAUL gives you up to 25% less power consumption compared to previous long haul products.

Baseband Unit
Interface Unit (IFU) contains baseband functions and plug-in interface module(s) for both TDM and Ethernet services in Next Generation Networks. The scalable achtecture enables easy expansion of system capacity as well as reconfiguration of the system. The baseband unit also contains an optional XPIC (X-polar Interference Canceller) for frequency re-use configurations.

Radio Units
The radio unit uses direct RF modulations and covers a complete frequency band. Combiner Space Diversity is available, giving 3dB increased system gain. The radio units are fanless due to the unique power efficiency with less heat generated.

Auxilliary features
The auxillary features includes support for:

  • Engineering Orderwire (EOW)
  • 4x64k/s data channels
  • 2Mb/s (E1) or 1.5Mb/s (T1) Wayside Traffic
  • 2Mb/s Ethernet bridge with MAC learning
  • External Alarm input/output including analog inputs for site monitoring

Management
The managment system contains a web server for easy access to the management features. The users simply use a standard web browser for all system configuration and monitoring. The system also contains a SNMP agent for monitoring by a NMS system. The managment network connection is based on IP, and the controller unit contains an IP router (RIP/OSPF) for efficient DCN networking.
