ECLIPSE INSTALLATION MANUAL
Chapter 1. System Overview
This section overviews features and capabilities of the Eclipse node (INU/INUe) with
companion IRU 600 RF unit for use on the 5.8 GHz unlicensed band.
5.8 GHz operation is compliant with FCC CFR47 Part 15.247, and Industry Canada
RSS-210.
l It has been tested and certified for use with a parabolic antenna with a
maximum gain of 45.9 dBi or a flat panel antenna with a maximum gain of
28 dBi.
l The filters used in the IRU 600 RF unit allow for transmission only in the
frequency range 5725 - 5850MHz to ensure compliance with FCC CFR47 Part
15.247.
Operation is all-indoor, using rack-mounted indoor units, the INU or INUe, and one
or more IRU 600 RF units.
l Eclipse supports multiple radio links from a common indoor unit with
throughput capacities to 189 Mbit/s Ethernet, 100xDS1, 3xDS3, or 1xOC3.
l The IRU 600 RF unit is 1+1 optimized with two RFUs and an ACU. The RFUs
can be operated as independent links, or as a protected link.
l Path, equipment, and data protection options support comprehensive link,
network and data redundancy.
l Plug-in cards on the INU or INUe provide a wide choice of user interfaces and
radio link operation.
l The node-based concept eliminates most ancillary equipment and external
cabling, and offers smooth upgrade paths for next generation networks.
