All-Outdoor Dual-Carrier IP Multi-Gigabit MW Transmission at 6-8 GHz

OmniBAS™-BXca is the new generation of dual carrier all-outdoor radios of the OmniBAS™ Point-to-Point MW family that addresses the operator need for advanced, cost-effective, multi-Gigabit IP transmission solutions at lower MW frequency bands (6 - 8 GHz).

OmniBAS™-BXca features a novel design to support 2x80 MHz carriers in a single compact unit with SW enabled CA (Carrier Aggregation) functionality.The unit includes advanced RF duplexer facilitating flexible combinations of channels according to operator's specific carrier allocations.

It offers leading modulations 4096-QAM per carrier and throughput up to 1.5Gbit/s per unit and 2.5 Gbit/s with two units, while employing advanced radio and traffic processing functionality to demonstrate exceptional IP MW radio performance at extended ranges.

OmniBAS™-BXca is compatible with OmniBAS™ Split-Mount and LH portfolio. A broad range of peripherals and integrated antennas (0.6 / 0.8 / 1.2 / 1.8 m) complements the OmniBAS™-BXca offering for complete MW link installations.
