2.9.2Protected Diversity
In Protected Diversity mode, the link between each pair of modems is the same, as
shown in Figure 2-10, providing complete redundancy. This arrangement requires
bandwidth for both links and non-interference between the links, but it provides hitless

TM
supports both frequency and spatial
diversity.
