The Aviat WTM 4800 is a unique new radio platform for E-Band and Multi-Band 5G transport applications. WTM 4800 Multi-Band is the industry’s simplest Multi-Band solution which significantly lowers total cost of ownership (TCO) compared to alternative Multi-Band solutions that rely on two, three and even four separate boxes. The highly integrated WTM 4800 includes single-channel 80GHz plus a single or dual-channel microwave (6-42GHz) in one self-contained outdoor unit.
The Aviat WTM has been recognized by the Wireless Backhaul Project Group as the first TIP-compliant wireless backhaul multi-band (E-Band + Microwave) solution with open netconf/yang interfaces.
"Multi-Band is a powerful tool for building reliable high capacity wireless links essential to 5G,” stated Shaun McFaul Aviat’s Senior Vice President, Corporate Development. “Multi-Band involves combining E-Band (70-80 GHz) with traditional microwave (6-42 GHz) on a single link to improve capacity typically achieved by microwave alone by up to 20 times at a much lower total cost of ownership.”
“MaxLinear is bringing to market cutting-edge transceiver and modem solutions that solve key challenges faced in wireless backhaul systems supporting 5G service rollouts,” said Brendan Walsh, Vice President of MaxLinear’s Wireless Infrastructure Group.
MaxLinear’s backhaul chipset includes the MxL1105 microwave transceiver, MxL85652 microwave modem, and the MxL85110 millimeter-wave modem. This IC chipset supports microwave and millimeter-wave transmission and is the market leader in terms of integration and performance.
The MxL1105 is a single-chip broadband microwave transceiver that supports all licensed and unlicensed bands from 5GHz to 44GHz, including channel spacing options from 5MHz to 112MHz. With built-in Full Spectrum Capture® (FSC®) technology, the device supports channel aggregation mode which enables a second channel of any channel spacing to be processed within the same IC. The MxL1105 incorporates a full receive, transmit, feedback path, and all synthesizer components on a single chip, and can support code rates up to 4096 QAM. The closed-loop digital pre-distortion provides power amplifier (PA) linearization for a wide variety of PAs.
The MxL85652 is a fifth-generation SoC for broadband wireless transmission systems. The MxL8565x family supports high integration with two modems (e.g., full XPIC in a single chip), embedded programmable DSP for add-on features and differentiation, multiple high-speed AFE for I/Q and IF interface, auxiliary AFE for RF circuitry and board control, packet fragmentation and header compression, synchronous Ethernet, and IEEE 1588 support.
The MxL85110 provides up to 20Gbps Ethernet capacity, ultra-low latency, and adaptive code modulation ranging from BPSK to 1024 QAM. The device can be programmed for flexible bandwidth from 25MHz to 2GHz, with independent asymmetric transmit and receive configuration. It also delivers the highest spectral and payload efficiency for productive utilization of wireless spectrum with no MAC-layer overhead. Additional features include carrier-grade synchronous Ethernet and IEEE 1588v2 synchronization and an integrated management channel.
