Glenayre Western Multiplex Demonstrates Three New Microwave Radios at PT/EXPO COMM Products Include Spread Spectrum and Licensed Models, 4xE1 and Fractional Capacities SUNNYVALE, Calif., Oct. 28 /PRNewswire/ -- Demonstrating the product depth that has made it a leader in wireless interconnection, Glenayre Western Multiplex presented three new microwave radios at the PT/EXPO COMM tradeshow next week in Beijing. Two of these new products extend the LYNX family of license-free spread spectrum radios. The other is a new licensed microwave radio product. John Saefke, vice president of international sales states, ''These new products represent a significant opportunity for sales growth in our international markets.'' The LYNX.sc6 4xE1 is the highest capacity of this family, providing 8.192 Mbps full-duplex total throughput. Able to share frequencies with little possibility of interference, the LYNX family can be installed quickly without a user license in most countries. This model overcomes the typical problems of poor reliability and limited distance inherent to high capacity radios that utilize high-order modulation schemes. A unique architecture retains excellent receiver threshold and provides 4xE1 capacity without a significant drop in system gain. The LYNX.mini2 is a small (one RU), cost-efficient fractional data capacity radio serving wireless operators who require less than E1 capacity, but who want the reliability and performance of a LYNX spread spectrum product. It offers a primary data port with user-selectable data rates of 64 to 512 kbps and a user-selectable interface of EIA-530, V.35 (V.11) or RS-232, along with a wayside service channel (up to 38.4 kbps). The WM-1500 is a full duplex, 4xE1 capacity radio operating at 1.5 GHz, and providing point-to-point communications exceeding 80 km. The WM-1500 is designed for applications requiring low to medium capacity voice/data connections, short installation time and medium to long-range path lengths. Typical applications are spur routes of a public backbone network, base station connections in a cellular infrastructure, broadcast studio to transmitter links, railroad and pipeline communications, power distribution networks, or government or private organization wireless communications. All three of these new products are easily connected to voice and data multiplexers, routers and video codecs. Using these devices, they will carry a variety of traffic, such as telephone, fax, ISDN, Ethernet extensions and other data. They operate on path lengths from 1 to 80 km or more without rain fading. Their flexible power connections and lack of external adjustments make them easy to install and maintain. A wide operating temperature range allows users to install these radios in outdoor cabinets or shelters without additional air conditioning or heating.
