MDS 5800 II
• 16E1 or T1 for cellular backhaul, enterprise voice applications and voice network
redundancy
For customers such as cellular carriers requiring backhaul and backbone extension as well
as service providers requiring network redundancy, new Points of Presence (POPs), and last
mile access, the
MDS 5800 II radio is a cost effective alternative to leased lines with carrier-
class quality of performance. The
MDS 5800 II is a cost effective solution to meet the
growing demand for enterprise Local Area Network (LAN) connectivity between buildings and
campuses as well as service providers requiring reliable products for infrastructure
expansion, extending Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) fiber access, and network
redundancy.
The MDS 5800 II includes integrated Network Management functionality and design features
enabling simple commissioning when the radio network is initially set up in the field at the
customer’s premises. Furthermore, a highlight of MDS radio products is scalability and the
capability to support a ring-type architecture. This ring or consecutive point radio architecture is
self-healing in the event of an outage in the link and automatically re-routes data traffic, thereby
ensuring that service to the end user is not interrupted.
The MDS 5800 II
is composed of a Software Defined Indoor Unit
TM
(SDIDU
TM
) and Outdoor
Unit (ODU). It supports 1+0 and 1+1 protection and ring architectures in a single 1 RU
chassis. The modem and power supply functions are supported using easily replaceable
plug-in modules. An additional feature of the SDIDU
TM
is provision for a second plug-in
modem/IF module to provide repeater or east/west network configurations.
The overall architecture consists of a single 1RU rack mount Software Defined Indoor Unit
(
SDIDU
TM
) with a cable connecting to an Outdoor Unit (ODU) with an external antenna.
