ExtendAir eMIMO Series Digital Microwave Radios

Basic Features
ExtendAir eMIMO Series Digital Microwave radios are intended for all-outdoor mounting and
powered by a separately-purchased power injector. In some cases, the radio can be mounted indoors or
in an enclosure. Depending on the configuration purchased, the associated antenna is either integrated
as part of the unit or connected separately.
For the external antenna models, the unit is typically mounted very close to the external antenna to
minimize RF cabling and associated losses. Alternatively, the unit can be mounted at an easily
accessible location with longer RF cabling to the antenna. Proper lightning or surge suppression
devices and associated grounding are required for all connections.
Figure 2 Cabling and mounting
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.
The ExtendAir eMIMO Series radios provide connections for a combination of the following data
communication interfaces:
• One 10/100/1000BaseT (PoE) port and two 10/100 ports
ExtendAir eMIMO Series radios are powered by a combined Power/Ethernet cable, and associated
power injector. The power injector provides 48VDC to the unit. The power injector and/or external
power supply are sold separately.
The ExtendAir eMIMO Series radios 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
• High density collocation using ExaltSync
TM
(future feature release)
• Longer range with smaller antennas. Exalt provides the highest system gain advantage with higher
transmit power while sustaining higher throughput levels when competitors must lower
modulation levels to maintain the link.
• Space-Time Block Code (STBC) support: The space-time block code used in ExtendAir eMIMO
Series radios is based on an Alamouti sequence and uses two antennas to transmit a single data
