Radio Synchronization (future feature)
The radio synchronization feature improves the performance of Exalt radios operating in the same
frequency band and that are collocated (such as in repeater and hub configurations). Radio
synchronization ties radio systems together to operate off of a common clock system, ensuring that all
radios simultaneously transmit and receive, and thus eliminating near-field interference issues and
related radio system coupling.
Synchronization Modes
Synchronization can be implemented using either one or multiple GPS sources, or using the radios
'Internal' clocking signal. The following general configurations can be accommodated:
• GPS sync, using one GPS source (sold separately) per link. Ideal for links where the radios are not
collocated on the same rooftop or tower.
• GPS sync, using one GPS source (sold separately) to drive timing to multiple collocated links,
using one or more sync distribution accessories (sold separately). The ideal solution for networks
that have multiple links at one location, but also have more nearby radio links that are not
collocated, including repeaters and multi-link backbones.
• Internal sync, using one radio to synchronize another collocated link. This can be accomplished
with a simple cable and proper radio configuration, and ideal when only 2 radios are collocated.
• Internal sync, using one radio to synchronize to multiple collocated links. This can be
accomplished with one or more sync distribution accessories (sold separately). The ideal solution
for networks that have multiple links at one location and do not have other nearby links or
repeaters and multi-link backbones.

Note: In many cases, the system design will not be identical to the factory default
configuration, and in some cases, these differences prohibit the installation of the radio. If at
all possible, obtain a computer and configure the radio terminals using the browser-based
GUI. See Exalt Graphical User Interface (GUI)
for details.
