TransLink
High capacity microwave link equipment especially suited for military applications. Nera TransLink is designed for special operations where mobility and durability are required, and offers full tuneability in the entire 4.4-5.0 GHz band.
The TransLink offers transmission capacity in the 50 Mb/s to 155 Mb/s range and multiple 155 MB/s by daisy chaining radio units.
The architecture is based on an indoor unit (IDU) with user interfaces and modem, and an outdoor unit (ODU) with microwave radio plus a software tunable branching filter unit. The IDU and ODU are interconnected by a coaxial cable with a maximum length of 300 meters. The ODU can also be mounted in a rack, with a waveguide or coaxial cable to the antenna.
TransLink offers:
- Fast and flexible frequency shifting by software
- Local and remote PC control
- Scalable from 1+0 to 3+0 by adding units
- Both RF filter and transceiver software tuneable within the whole 4.4 - 5.0 GHz band
Outdoor Unit (ODU) transmission configurations:
- 155 Mb/s in 40 MHz channels using 64 state modulation, in 28 MHz channels using 128 state modulation
- 50 Mb/s in 28 MHz channels using 32 state modulation, in 14 MHz channels using 64 state modulation
Indoor Unit (IDU) interfaces:
- 155 Mb/s electrical or optical
- 3x34/45 Mb/s
- 21x2 Mb/s without external mux
- Ethernet 10/100BASE-TX, 1000BASE-T and 1000 BASE-FX (SFP)
