Operating at 6, 7, 8 and 11 GHz With Capacities of 4, 8, 12,
28xDS1, DS3, 3xDS3, and OC-3
The CM Series radio consists of a Customer Access Panel,
Signal Processing Unit, RF Waveguide Manifold and RF Modules,
all housed in one compact chassis. This basic design covers
many data rates and RF configurations for the highest possible
degree of commonality. It provides a unique facility for upgrading
capacity or altering protection configuration in the field
by only changing a few plug-in modules. The low power consumption
and the ability to install two protected terminals in one
rack minimizes user site requirements. These feature truly
optimize performance, reliability, operation, installation,
and maintenance.
The same chassis is used for all capacities and frequencies.
The modular architecture is specifically designed to add flexibility
in system design, installation, and maintenance.
Using state-of-the-art design and manufacturing techniques,
the CM Series offers high reliability for critical private
and public networks. Quality and reliability are this radio's
hallmarks.
The CM Series platform is one of the only radios to offer
quick and simple upgrades from 4DS1 to 3DS3 without replacing
the entire radio. Upgrading to a higher capacity in the same
bandwidth requires replacing a single plug-in card. Capacity
changes to a different bandwidth requires four cards. A typical
upgrade takes less than five minutes.
The common signal processing architecture and wide-band field
tunable RF units allows reduced sparing for radio networks
of mixed frequencies and capacities. This in turn saves on
up-front cost and eases the maintenance burden.
Requiring only 19 rack spaces for every possible capacity,
frequency, and protection configuration, this radio family
offers one of the smallest footprints in the industry. The
small size is ideal for equipment sites where floor space
is at a premium.
