1. IntroducingIntelligentBackhaulRadio(“IBR”)
1.1 Overview
IBRcombinesaCarrierEthernetswitchandanAnyLOS™radiowhichcanoperatesimultaneouslyinnon‐,
near‐,andclearlineofsightradioconditions.Itisdesignedforsmallcelldeploymentindenseurban
environmentswherelineofsightbetweenradiosisdifficultorimpossibletoachieve.
IBRissmall,passively‐cooled,andenvironmentallyprotectedforusemainlyinmacro‐cellularbackhaul,
commercialservicesfiberfill‐in,andsmallcellbackhaulapplications.Itcanbemountedonmasts,poles,
walls,celltowers,orinothersuchlocationsandrequireslittleornoalignmentwhentheradiosarepointedin
thegeneraldirectionofoneanother.
NOTE:Forsafetyreasonsandregulatorycompliance,IBRshouldbeinstalledinarestrictedaccess
locationthatisaccessibleonlybyauthorizedservicepersonnel.
1.2 IBRModels‐Transmit&ReceiveFrequencies
TwomodelsofIBRtransmitandreceiveindifferentbandsandoperateasapairtoformthetwoendsofa
link.IBRmaybeaccessedremotelyoverthenetworkfromtelnetorSSH.ThedefaultIPaddressesare:
 192.168.128.101fortheradiothattransmitsinthe5.8GHzband(IBR101);and
192.168.128.102fortheradiothattransmitsinthe5.3GHzband(IBR102).
ThedefaulthostnamesareIBR101andIBR102respectivelyandthesubnetmaskis/16or255.255.0.0.
TheyarereferredtoasIBR101andIBR102throughoutthisdocument,andhavethefollowingcharacteristics:

1.3 RadioFeatures
IBRusesadaptiveratemodulation,proprietaryinterferenceavoidanceandcancellationtechniques,AES
encryption,andantennaarraysignalprocessingtodeliverreliableandsecurehighspeeddatatransmission
overlinkswhereline‐of‐sightbetweenradiosisdifficultorimpossibletoachieve.ThetablebelowshowsIBR
