MDS 5800 II
Table 2-1 Key Benefits and Advantages of MDS 5800 II Radios
Benefits Advantages to Providers/Customers Reference
Wireless license-exempt system
ISM bands do not require expensive
license band fees or incur licensing delays.
Wireless connectivity supplements existing
cable (Ethernet).
Fast return on investment.
Lower total cost of total ownership.
Media diversity avoids single points of
failure.
2.2 –2.4
Easy to install units
Straightforward modular system enables
fast deployment and activation.
Carrier-class reliability.
Fast return on investment.
No monthly leased line fees.
3.4
Complete support of payload capacity with additional wayside channels
Aggregate capacity beyond basic payload
(34 Mbps or 50 Mbps or 100 Mbps).
Scalable and spectrally efficient system.
Separate networks for radio
overhead/management and user payload.
Increases available bandwidth of network.
Allows customer full use of revenue-
generating payload channel.
Up to 16 T1/E1 wayside channels supports
extension of PBX connectivity between
buildings without additional leased-line
costs.
Lowers total cost of ownership.
2.2– 2.5
Ring Architecture
Supports a ring (consecutive point)
configuration, thus creating a self-healing
redundancy that is more reliable than
traditional point-to-point networks.
In the event of an outage, traffic is
automatically rerouted via another part of
the ring without service interruption.
Ring/consecutive point networks can
overcome line-of-sight issues and reach
more buildings than other traditional
wireless networks.
Networks can be expanded by adding
more MDS 5800 II
units or more rings
without interruption of service.

deployment as well as network expansion
with reduced line-of-sight issues.
Increases network reliability due to self-
healing redundancy of the network.
Minimizes total cost of ownership and
maintenance of the network.
Allows for mass deployment.
