6. Product Overview
FibeAir IP-10E CLH (Compact Long Haul) is a reliable and cost-effective all-
indoor wireless Ethernet backhaul product designed for high capacity, long
distance applications. IP-10E CLH has a compact design and ultra-low power
consumption that makes it an ideal fit for network deployments that require a
small footprint.
Designed uniquely for the North American market, IP-10E CLH enables
operators to deploy high capacity, long haul microwave systems in locations
where rack space and shelter real-estate are limited. With its compact design,
a 1+1 Hot Standby (HSB) radio configuration requires only three rack units
(RUs), while offering exceptionally high transmit power. IP-10E CLH supports
configurations of 1+0, 1+1, 2+0, and 2+2.
Lowering costs further, the systems ultra-high power transmitter transmits
the highest power in the industry, and can reach longer distances using
smaller antennas. To ensure that power is not wasted, IP-10E CLH employs an
innovative built-in Power Consumption Saving (Green Mode) mechanism,
which results in power savings of up to 30%. Green Mode enables the
deployment of smaller antennas, and reduces the need for repeater stations.
In addition, installation labor cost and electricity consumption are reduced,
achieving an overall diminished carbon footprint.
IP-10E CLH covers the entire licensed frequency spectrum with the addition of
the unlicensed 5.8 GHz band, and offers capacity of up to 370 Mbps over a
single radio carrier (40 MHz channel, with MAC header compression, up to
740 Mbps with XPIC enabled), using a single Radio Frequency Unit (RFU). By
enabling more capacity, at lower latencies, to any location, with proper traffic
management mechanisms and an optional downstream boost, IP-10E CLH is
built to enhance end user Quality of Experience.
Support for the 5.8 GHz unlicensed band is a special feature of IP-10E CLH.
Usage of the unlicensed band enables rapid deployment of radios that can be
migrated to the licensed 6 GHz band in the future. The unlicensed band also
ensures economically efficient system usage, since common hardware
platforms can be shared between the unlicensed and licensed systems. The
same antennas can be used after migration from 5.8 GHz to 6.2 GHz.
IP-10E CLH offers advanced Ethernet networking functionality, best-in-class
microwave radio performance, and risk-free cost-effective IP/Ethernet
network building.
FibeAir IP-10E CLH includes a powerful, integrated Ethernet switch for
advanced networking functionality. With advanced service management and
Operation Administration & Maintenance (OA&M) tools, IP-10E CLH simplifies
network design, reduces CAPEX and OPEX and improves overall network
availability and reliability to support services with stringent SLA.
Power Adaptive ACM IP-10E CLH sets the industry standard for
Advanced Adaptive Code and Modulation (ACM), increasing network
capacity over an existing infrastructure while reducing sensitivity to
environmental interferences. In addition, IP-10E CLH provides a unique
technological combination of ACM with Adaptive Power to ensure high
availability and unmatched link utilization.
6.2.5 Scalability
IP-10E CLH is a scalable solution that is based on a common hardware that
supports any channel size, modulation scheme, capacity, network topology,
and configuration. Scalability and hardware efficiency simplify logistics and
allow for commonality of spare parts. A common hardware platform enables
customers to upgrade the feature set as the need arises - Pay As You Grow -
without requiring hardware replacement.
6.2.6 Availability
MTBF. IP-10E CLH provides an unrivaled reliability benchmark, with
radio MTBF exceeding 112 years, and average annual return rate around
1%. Our radios are designed in-house and employ cutting-edge technology
with unmatched production yield, and a mature installed-base exceeding
100,000 radios. In addition, advanced radio features such as multi-radio
and cross polarization achieves 100% utilization of radio resources by
load balancing based on instantaneous capacity per carrier. Important
resulting advantages are reduction in capital expenditures due to less
spare parts required for roll-out, and reduction in operating expenditures,
as maintenance and troubleshooting occurrence is infrequent.

6.3.4 RFU
IP-10E CLH is based on the latest Ceragon technology, and is installed together
with Ceragons RFU-A.
The RFU supports multiple capacities, frequencies, modulation schemes, and
configurations for various network requirements. It operates in the frequency
range of 5.8 GHz (unlicensed) and 6-11 GHz, and supports capacities of from
10 Mbps to 500 Mbps.
For more detailed information about the RFU, refer to RFU-A Description on
page 67.
6.5 Licensing
This section describes IP-10E CLHs licensing structure. For more detailed
information, refer to FibeAir IP-10 License Management System,
DOC-00019183 Rev a.03.
IP-10E CLH offers a pay-as-you-grow concept to reduce network costs. Future
capacity growth and additional functionality is enabled with license keys and
an innovative stackable nodal solution using the same hardware. License keys
are generated per IDU serial number.
Licenses are divided into two categories:
Per Radio Each IDU (both sides of the link) require a license.
Per Configuration Only one license is required for the system.
A 1+1 configuration requires the same set of licenses for both the active and
the protected IDU.
In nodal configuration for licenses that are not per radio, licenses should be
assigned to the main (bottom) IDU in the enclosure.
As your network expands and additional functionality is desired, license keys
can be purchased for the following features:
L2 Switch
Enables Managed Switch and Metro Switch. A license is
required for any IDU that requires the use of two or more
Ethernet ports. Refer to Ethernet Switching on page 51.
Capacity Upgrade
Enables you to increase your systems radio capacity in gradual
steps by upgrading your capacity license.
Network Resiliency
Enables Ring RSTP for improving network resiliency. Only one
Network Resiliency license is required for an east-west
configuration. An L2 Switch license must also be purchased to
enable this feature. Refer to Carrier Ethernet Wireless Ring-
Optimized RSTP on page 59.
Ethernet Synchronization
Enables configuration of an external source as a clock source
for synchronous Ethernet output (if the IDUs hardware
supports synchronization). Without this license, only a local
(internal) clock can be used for Ethernet synchronization.
Every node that is part of the sync path requires one license for
1+0 configurations or two licenses for 1+1 configurations.
Enhanced QoS
Enables the Enhanced QoS feature, including:
WRED
Eight queues
Shaping per queue
A license is required per radio. Refer to Enhanced QoS on
page 55.
7. Functional Description
Featuring an advanced architecture, IP-10E CLH uniquely integrates the latest
radio technology with Ethernet networking. The IP-10E CLH radio core engine
is designed to support native Ethernet over the air interface enhanced with
Adaptive Power and Adaptive Coding & Modulation (ACM) for maximum
spectral efficiency in any deployment scenario. The modular design is easily
scalable with the addition of units or license keys.
IP-10E CLH supports the following modes for Ethernet switching:
Smart Pipe Ethernet interface is enabled for user traffic. The unit
effectively operates as a point-to-point Ethernet microwave radio.
Managed Switch Ethernet switching functionality is enabled based on
VLANs.
Metro Switch Ethernet switching functionality is enabled based on an S-
VLAN-aware bridge.
For more information on IP-10E CLHs switching options, refer to Ethernet
Switching on page 51.
The CPU acts as the IDUs central controller, and all management frames
received from or sent to external management applications must pass through
the CPU. In a nodal configuration, the main units CPU serves as the central
controller for the entire node.
The Mux assembles the radio frames, and holds the logic for protection and
Space Diversity.
The modem represents the physical layer, modulating, transmitting, and
receiving the data stream.
Each nodal enclosure includes a backplane. The rear panel of an IP-10E CLH
IDU includes an extra connector for connection to the backplane. The
following interfaces are implemented through the backplane:
Multi-Radio
Protection
XPIC
IP-10E CLH IDUs are hot-swappable, and additional extension nodal
enclosures and IDUs can be added in the field as required, without affecting
traffic.
Using the stacking method, units in the bottom nodal enclosure act as main
units, whereby a mandatory active main unit can be located in either of the
two slots, and an optional standby main unit can be installed in the other slot.
The switchover time is <50 msecs for all traffic-affecting functions. Units
located in nodal enclosures other than the one on the bottom act as expansion
units.
Radios in each pair of units can be configured as either dual independent 1+0
links, or single fully-redundant 1+1 HSB links.

Dual Polarization
Note that on the right side of the figure you can see that CarrierR receives the
H+v signal, which is the combination of the desired signal H (horizontal) and
the interfering signal V (in lower case, to denote that it is the interfering
signal). The same happens in CarrierL = V+h. The XPIC mechanism takes the
data from CarrierR and CarrierL and, using a cost function, produces the
desired data.
Ethernet Switching
Each switching mode supports QoS. For more information, refer to Integrated
QoS Support on page 53.
Smart Pipe is the default mode. Managed Switch and Metro Switch require a
license. For more information, refer to Licensing on page 19.
All Ethernet ports are enabled for traffic in Managed Switch mode.
8.7.4 QoS Traffic Flow in Managed Switch and Metro Switch Mode
The figure below shows the QoS flow of traffic with IP-10E CLH operating in
Managed Switch or Metro Switch mode.
In contrast, WRED begins dropping packets randomly when the queue begins
to fill up, with increased probability. This increases capacity utilization to
almost 100%.
8.8.1 RSTP
RSTP ensures a loop-free topology for any bridged LAN. Spanning tree enables
a network design to include spare (redundant) links for automatic backup
paths, with no danger of bridge loops, and without the need for manual
enabling and disabling of the backup links. Bridge loops must be avoided since
they result in network flooding.
In a general topology, there can be more than one loop, and therefore more
than one bridge with ports in a blocking state. For this reason, RSTP defines a
negotiation protocol between each two bridges, and processing of the BPDU
(Bridge Protocol Data Units), before each bridge propagates the information.
This serial processing increases the convergence time.
GE/FE output
Supports any radio link configuration and network topology
SyncE Regenerator mode
PRC grade (G.811) performance for pipe (regenerator) applications
In native Sync Distribution mode, the following interfaces can be used as the
sync references:
GE (SyncE)
Additionally, the following interfaces can be used for sync output:
GE/FE (SyncE)
Native Sync Distribution mode can be used in any link configuration and any
network topology.
The figure below illustrates a Native Sync Distribution mode usage example in
which synchronization is provided to all-packet Node-Bs using SyncE.
9. RFU-A Description
RFU-A is a high transmit power RFU designed for long-haul applications. RFU-
A offers a low scale trunk with up to four radio carriers.
Among other features, the traffic capacity throughput and spectral efficiency
of RFU-A are optimized with the desired channel bandwidth. For maximum
user choice flexibility, channel bandwidths can be selected together with a
range of modulations of from QPSK to 256 QAM. RFU-A capacities can be
upgraded from 10 Mbps up to more than 2 Gbps, and from one carrier up to
four carriers connected to one antenna. Each radio carrier can carry traffic
over 5 MHz up to 40 MHz bandwidth.
With the smallest footprint in the market, RFU-A is designed to enable high
quality wireless communication in the most cost-effective way, including an
ultra-high power transmitter that can reach longer distances using smaller
antennas.
EN 300 234: Transmission and Multiplexing (TM); Digital Radio Relay Systems
(DRRS); High capacity DRRS carrying 1xSTM-1/OC-3 signals and operating in

High 33-26 77
Medium 25-20 53
Low 19-11 43
Mute NA 24
Note that the power consumption values only represent the RFU (without the
IDU).
Operates in the frequency range of 5.8 (unlicensed) to 6-11 GHz (licensed).
Unlicensed operation allows rapid deployment of radios that can be
migrated to the licensed 6 GHz band in the future.
Usage of the unlicensed band also ensures economically efficient system
usage, since common hardware platforms can be shared between the
unlicensed and licensed systems. Additionally, when migrating from the
5.8 GHz band to the 6.2 GHz band, the same RFU and antennas can be used.
The system is scalable from low capacity unlicensed operation using 5
MHz channels delivering 30 Mbps to licensed operation using 30 MHz
channels or greater based on regulatory restrictions, delivering more than
200 Mbps.
Both the licensed and unlicensed radios are managed easily across the
entire network via SNMP management of common hardware elements.
Installation type: All-Indoor
Ceragons All Indoor system enables the installation of both the IDU and
the RFU in a single indoor rack. This installation uses minimal rack space.
All Indoor configurations are easier to service due to their location and
therefore help reduce operational and maintenance cost.
High transmit power of up to 31 dBm.
Configurable Ethernet capacity: from 10 Mbps to 500 Mbps
Up to 1 Gbps capacity can be achieved in a 2+0 XPIC configuration.
Configurable modulation: QPSK, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256 QAM
FibeAirs unique full range adaptive modulation provides the widest
modulation range on the market from QPSK to 256 QAM with multi-level
real-time hitless and errorless modulation shifting dynamically according
to environmental conditions, while ensuring zero downtime connectivity.
Note that maximum TX power for QPSK is 33 dBm.
Configurable channel bandwidth: 10/30/40 MHz
Interfaces for IP:
* 5 x FE (RJ-45)
* 2 x GE combo (RJ-45/SFP)
Ultra compact design - 1 RU for 1+1 configuration
On-site frequency change, using different branching drawer
Transmission frequency changes can be made on-site via Ceragons Web
Based Management System. This saves the time and effort spent on
adjusting the frequency at the factory.
Built-in XPIC (Cross Polarization Interference Canceller) and Co-Channel
Dual Polarized (CCDP) features for double transmission capacity and
higher bandwidth efficiency.
Adjustable Transmit Power Control (ATPC) with Power Consumption
Saving mode
ATPC adjusts transmitter output power based on the varying signal level
at the receiver. It allows the transmitter to operate at less than maximum
power for most of the time. When fading conditions occur, transmit power
will be increased as needed until the maximum is reached.
The ATPC mechanism has several potential advantages, including less
transmitter power consumption and longer amplifier component life,
thereby reducing overall system cost.
ATPC is frequently used as a means to mitigate frequency interference
issues with the environment, thus allowing new radio links to be easily
coordinated in frequency congested areas.
The Power Consumption Saving mode enables the system to adjust the
power automatically to reduce the power used, when possible.
Compatible with FibeAir IP-10E, IP-10G, and 1500R IDUs
FibeAir RFU-A works together with FibeAir IP-10E or 1500R IDUs to
