2Overview

Lite is a complete sub-6 GHz microwave system housed within a single outdoor weath-

erproof enclosure. The system has standard Ethernet interfaces and the antenna can

be integrated or separated. The system is an integrated, zoning-friendly, packet micro-

wave solution, optimized for the urban environment.

Lite provides a host of benefits, including:

• Non-line-of-sight (NLOS) support across both licensed and unlicensed TDD spec-

trum;

• Complete scalability, supporting 20/40 MHz channel bandwidth;

• Advanced interference avoidance features including site synchronization;

• Flexible network architecture options.

In addition, Lite has the following advantages:

• support of adaptive coding and modulation (ACM);

• support of transition power control (TCP);

• support of 2x2 multiple-input and multiple-output (2x2 MIMO);

• support of dynamic frequency selection (DFS);

• support of dynamic channel selection (DCS);

• support of retransmission;

• support of configurable uplink/downlink ratio;

• support of QoS (advanced quality of service with 8 queues);

• support of power over Ethernet (P+E, PoE+);

• support of synchronization;

• support of co-site synchronization;

• support of OFDM modulation;

• support of low-density parity check (LDPC) encoding;

• software upgradable to support SyncE and 1588v2 transparent clock;

• support of up to 230 Mbit/s aggregate capacity;

• support of small cell optimized backhaul for NLOS applications;

• performance with very low delay;

• support of licensed or unlicensed spectrum;

• requirement of simple installation as an integrated outdoor unit;
