RAD upgrades broadband wireless multiplexer.

According to Udi Furman, managing director, RAD Data Communications, Australia, the device connects ‘data hungry applications’ such as cellular or WiMAX base stations to controllers, meeting the requirements of backhauling applications by transporting Ethernet traffic for maintenance and control.

“In addition, Wireless Internet Service Providers (WISPs) can use the Airmux-400 to backhaul their traffic from the point of presence (POP) to the network operation centre to achieve higher capacity and can offer bundled connectivity,” added Furman.

“The Airmux-400 also provides broadband Ethernet and leased line services to large enterprises and is ideal for networks spanning multiple sites that require transparent LAN connectivity across their campuses.”

RAD’s Airmux multiplexers have an outdoor unit and an indoor unit with redundant DC power supplies. The outdoor unit is suitable for mast or wall installation.

Data transmitted over the air interface is encrypted using Advanced Encryption System (AES) with a 128-bit encryption key.

RAD Data Communications distributors in Australia are: TR Telecom, Paclink and UGL.
