1-1 General
1-1.1 Products
The Link CX products are cost-effective, all-outdoor, pole-mounted, high-capacity, line-of-sight (LOS)
digital radio transmission systems, each operating in the license-exempt 5.25-5.35 GHz (5.3 GHz) or
5.725-5.825 GHz (5.8 GHz) frequency bands. The Link CX can be used for the following applications:
point-to-point or building-to-building, WLL (wireless local loop), backup solutions, temporary links, and
mesh cellular backhaul.
• The 5.3 GHz Link CX-DSX DS-3 and 10/100 versions conform to the FCC (Federal Commu-
nications Commission) Part 15.407 Subpart E describing U-NII (Unlicensed National
Information Infrastructure) operation. It operates at up to -1.0 dBm average transmit power,
and is intended for short-distance use.
• The 5.8 GHz Link CX-DSX DS-3 and 10/100 versions conform to the FCC Part 15.247
describing intentional radiators. It operates at up to +16 dBm average power, and is
intended for use over longer distances.
Both Link CX-DSX versions provide either a standard DS-3 (44.736 Mbps) interface adhering to
Bellcore GR-499-CORE (DSX-3) standards, or provides two Ethernet 10/100Base-T interfaces adhering
to IEEE 802.3 standards, with a combined nominal line rate of 45 Mbps.
