5 FibeAir System Functions FibeAir systems consist of IDUs, RFUs, and antennas. IDU Functions The IDU is a compact, 17 wide, 1U or 2U unit, mount compatible for both ETSI and ANSI standard racks. The IDU includes physical line interfaces, a full-function SONET/SDH regenerator internal multiplexer, an advanced modem, and a main manager card. The IDU can also include optional encryption modules for secure data transfer. Modulates/demodulates the payloads. Local and remote system management and control (IDU and RFU). Provides interfaces for wayside channel, user channels, and the 64 kbps order wire channel. Provides I/O line alarms. Integral multiplexer enables Datacom and Telecom applications convergence. RFU Functions The RFU consists of high sensitivity RF circuitry with half band tuning range for most frequencies. An independent controller controls the RFU and its functions, and communicates with the IDU. This controller provides the IDU precise received levels (in dbm) and other indications. The RFU handles the main radio processing. It includes radio components for signal receiving, signal transmission, IF processing, and power supply. IF processing is a module that combines two signals, main and diversity, and uses the combined signal to overcome multipath phenomenon (for Space Diversity configurations). The RFU has different versions, depending on the frequency band. Antenna High-performance antennas are available in the following diameters: 1 (30 cm), 2 (60 cm), 3 (90 cm), 4 (120 cm), or 6 (180 cm). For low frequencies (6-11 GHz), other antenna sizes (8-15 ft) are available. FibeAir System Descriptions 2

6 FibeAir 1500P FibeAir 1500P is Ceragon s modular ultra high capacity network connectivity solution designed to meet growing market demands for increased spectral-efficient systems. FibeAir 1500P is designed to deliver double the capacity using a single 28 MHz channel. In addition, the system is modular, easy to install, and a cost-effective alternative to fiber. With FibeAir 1500P operating in co-channel dual polarization (CCDP) mode, using the cross polarization interference canceller (XPIC) algorithm, two STM-1 signals can be transmitted over a single 28 MHz channel, using vertical and horizontal polarization. This enables double capacity in the same spectrum bandwidth. XPIC also operates in systems configured with 2 x STM-1, and 1 or 3 x DS3. A cost-effective STM-1 ring configuration is achieved using a single FibeAir 1500P IDU located at each of the nodes, with one RFU providing the West connection and another providing the East connection. For upgrading to a 311 Mbps ring, the built in CCDP mode can be activated to use the same single 28 MHz channel and equipment. FibeAir 1500P can also be configured as an STM hot standby terminal, in a 1U IDU shelf, with either a single or double antenna installation. FibeAir 1500P is equipped with an internal SNMP agent for easy integration with standard network management systems, and can also be managed via CeraView, Ceragon s network element manager, and PolyView, Ceragon s network management platform. FibeAir 1500P also provides an internal Ethernet hub for in-band transmission of third party management information. FibeAir 1500P can operate together with any industry standard ADM.

20 FibeAir IP-MAX 2 FibeAir IP-MAX 2 is Ceragon s comprehensive Gigabit Ethernet wireless transmission solution that delivers fiber-like quality. FibeAir IP-MAX 2 enables native Ethernet transmission with multiple frequencies, software selectable capacities, modulation schemes, and configurations for various network requirements, using the same hardware and state-of-the-art technology. The system supports high-capacity data services as well as traditional voice services, with both Ethernet and TDM interfaces. This innovative platform uses an on-the-fly upgrade method, whereby network operators only buy capacity as needed, benefiting from savings on initial investments and OPEX. The IP-MAX 2 IDU (Indoor Unit) can host up to two carriers, each delivering over 400 Mbps, optimizing the solution for different network topologies and configurations. Traffic capacity throughput and spectral efficiency are optimized with the desired channel bandwidth.

In addition, it can integrate with Northbound NMS platforms, to provide enhanced network management. PolyView FibeAir System Descriptions 19

23 Management Types In-Band Management In-Band Management refers to a method whereby the network management software sends management packets through the same network it is managing. This differs from out-band management in which the network management software uses a different network (overlay network) in order to communicate with the managed elements. Ceragon IDUs are capable of forwarding IP packets to Ethernet ports, Serial ports, SDH lines (in the overhead) and Radio interfaces (in the overhead). The general idea of In-Band Management is that when a packet arrives at an IDU, the software in the IDU checks the IP packet and follows one of two basic scenarios: 1. If the destination IP address of the packet is the same as the IP address of the IDU, pass the packet to the IP layer for further processing. 1. If the destination IP address of the packet is different than the IP address of the IDU: If the packet arrived from within the ring, send it to the other side. If that side is down, send it back to its origin. If the packet arrived from outside the ring, send it to the radio side. If that side is down, send it to the line side. If the packet belongs to an address outside the ring, send it through the Ethernet port. Ceragon s FibeAir wireless system provides flexibility in In-Band Management implementation. The following methods can be used to implement In-Band Management in the FibeAir system: Transferring DCCr bytes through the radio and the network. Transferring DCCr bytes through the radio, but not through the network. Transferring DCCr bytes through the 10BaseT wayside channel. Out-of-Band Management Out-of-Band Management refers to a method whereby CeraView management signals are transmitted over E1s using FCD-IP/D routers. It is used when several Ceragon sub-networks (ring and chain) are connected to a SONET/SDH network that includes other vendor equipment which do not transparently transmit the DCCR/DCCM data control channels. In such cases, Ceragon sub-networks employ In-Band Management among themselves, and Out-of-Band Management throughout the rest of the network, via FCD-IP/D routers. Each Ceragon sub-network has a 10BaseT connection to CeraView at the NOC (Network Operation Center). The connection uses one E1 of the transport network, whereby up to 30 sub-networks can be managed using a sinlgle E1 connection. Management data is protected using the RIP protection method.
