» Monitored Hot Standby (1+1):
The RADWIN Monitored Hot Standby (MHS) protects up to sixteen E1/T1 services with
RADWIN 2000 and up to four E1/T1 services with WinLink 1000. It is designed to
provide high reliability high-capacity Point-to-Point Links. The RADWIN MHS
is -
• Designed to provide redundancy and high reliability for carrier class operators
• Optimized for high capacity links operating in license-free bands
• A comprehensive solution providing protection against both equipment failure
and loss of air interface, by simple connectivity between a primary link and a sec-
ondary link
• Able to use a different band for maximum protection to the air interface
The main
features of the RADWIN MHS are –
• Cut-over from the primary to the secondary link completely automatic
• Cut-over time no more than 50 ms
• Automatic restore to primary link as soon as it becomes available
• WinLink 1000 can backup a RADWIN 2000 link
A major
benefit of RADWIN MHS is that is can underpin an affordable Service Level
Agreement structure by protecting part of the RADWIN 2000 trunks with WinLink
1000.
MHS supports TDM services; Ethernet services are carried by both links independently.
» Spectrum View
Spectrum View displays a visual representation of spectrum availability during the
link installation. It is an RF survey tool supporting the link installation prior to service
activation.
Use Spectrum View to assist you to choose the operating channel.
» Diversity
RADWIN 2000 links using dual bipolar antennas may be configured to transmit the
same data through both radios. This feature provides added data transmission integ-
rity under harsh conditions.
» Simple installation and management
RADWIN 2000 systems are extremely simple to install and maintain. They are typically
up and running in less than an hour.
The RADWIN Manager application has full local and remote management capabilities.
The user-friendly SNMP based management tool provides full end-to-end
configuration, event logging, and performance monitoring capabilities.
» Enhanced Security
The security features of RADWIN 2000 include:
• RADWIN 2000's AES 128-bit integrated advanced encryption support provides
enhanced air interface security for carriers and private networks. It ensures user
data protection with one of the most sophisticated commercially available com-
bined encryption and authentication techniques, CCM/AES. This technique com-
bines message authentication (preventing anti-spoofing and replay protection)
with commercial encryption, and complies with the IEEE 802.11i (phase iii) secu-
rity recommendations.
