Figure 3 Enclosure mount interconnection

For highest performance and reliability, it is advised to minimize the length of RF cable

and associated transmission system losses between the antenna and the radio’s antenna

port.

All models provide connections for a combination of the following data communication

interfaces:

• 10/100BaseT Ethernet

• Up to 16xT1/E1 interfaces for synchronous voice traffic (number of TDM interfaces

is determined by specific model and license-key configuration)

The i-Series radios feature a wide-mouth direct DC connection (24V or 48V), and are

also provided with an external AC adapter.

All models provide the following primary features and benefits:

• Low-latency optimization and control for voice and data connections

• Very high throughput and flexible interface configurations with voice+data

combinations

• Encryption for extreme wireless security

• Easy-to-use management and configuration

• Flexible utilized channel bandwidth selection for interference avoidance and

frequency coordination

• Flexible center frequency tuning for interference avoidance and frequency

coordination

• Flexible capacity to meet current connection requirements and future growth needs

• Carrier-class reliability and performance
