2. System Description

This manual is written for those who are involved in the “hands-on” installation of the

EVENT 5800 in a microwave point-to-point link, such as installation technicians, site

evaluators, project managers, and network engineers. It assumes the reader has a basic

understanding of how to install hardware, use Windows based software, and operate

test equipment. See the EVENT 5800 User Interface Guide (Moseley Document #602-

15173-01) for information about how to operate the unit.

2.1 Introduction

The Moseley family of digital radios provides high capacity transmission, flexibility,

features, and convenience for wireless digital communications networks. The digital

point-to-point radios represent a new microwave architecture that is designed to address

universal applications for video, audio, data, PDH and SDH platforms. This advanced

technology platform is designed to provide the flexibility to customers for their current

and future network needs.

EVENT 5800 supports a wide range of network interfaces and configurations:

 16/32/42/63 x E1/T1

 1/2 x 100BaseTX Ethernet

 1000BaseTX Ethernet

 1/2 x STM-1/OC-3

EVENT 5800 is spectrum and data rate scalable, enabling service providers or

organizations to trade-off system gain with spectral efficiency and channel availability for

optimal network connectivity. EVENT 5800 enables network operators (mobile and

private), government and access service provides to offer a portfolio of secure, scalable

wireless applications for data, video, and Voice over IP (VoIP).

The Moseley EVENT 5800 is a digital microwave radio terminal. A built-in radio

transceiver unit establishes the frequency of operation over the Unlicensed 5.8 GHz ISM

band. Some applications are described below:

2.1.1 Example Applications

EVENT 5800 can be used for unlicensed high-capacity full-duplex Telecommunications

data and broadcast applications for data rates to 100 Mbps:

 5.8 GHz band between 5.725 to 5.850 GHz for ISM in 5, 10, 20, and 30 MHz

channels.

EVENT 5800 can be used for Unlicensed high-capacity full-duplex data and broadcast

applications for data rates to 100 Mbps.

2.1.2 Operational Overview

EVENT 5800 digital radios support diversity, 1+0, and 1+1 protection and ring

architectures. The modem and power supply functions are supported using easily

replaceable plug-in modules. A second plug-in modem/IF module can also be installed to

provide diversity, repeater or east/west network configurations.

EVENT 5800 includes integrated Operations, Administration, Maintenance, and

Provisioning (OAM&P) functionality and design features enabling simple commissioning

when the radio network is initially set up in the field at the customer’s premises. EVENT

5800 is scalable and capability of supporting a ring-type architecture. This ring or

consecutive point radio architecture is self-healing. In the event of an outage in the link,
