An ultra-high-capacity turn-key solution for backhaul, fronthaul and midhaul

When fiber is limited, or unavailable, a point-to-point microwave radio link using E-Band represents the ideal solution. E-Band supports transmission of high-speed data over short distances. Orpheus is a high performance ODU-Ready E-Band Transceiver with fully integrated 71-76 GHz and 81-86 GHz modules. It has been developed as a turn-key solution for ultra-high capacity macro cell backhaul and fronthaul for C-RAN (Centralized Radio Access networks). Each module contains all the transmit and receive functions necessary for the RF section of an E-band link and provides a simple connection to a high data rate full duplex modem. The integrated diplexer connects directly to an antenna of choice via a standard WR12 interface. Internal, low phase noise VCOs are settable via an SPI interface in 31.25 MHz steps to support ECC/ITU channel arrangements.
