SANTA CLARA, Calif., Feb. 8,
2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Aviat Networks, Inc. (Nasdaq: AVNW), a
leader in wireless transmission solutions, today announced the
Eclipse IDU GE3, an ultra-compact indoor unit (IDU) that
combines the very latest Carrier Ethernet networking and advanced
radio features for hybrid TDM/Ethernet or all-Ethernet/IP wireless
transmission. Supporting link throughputs up to 400 Mbps, the
IDU GE3 will provide more than enough backhaul capacity for
the overlay of new 4G/LTE base stations, and offers significant
advantages over costly fiber deployments or leased lines. The
Eclipse IDU GE3 will debut at Mobile World Congress in
Barcelona, Spain, from
Feb 14-17, 2011.

The Eclipse IDU GE3 enables the deployment of
cost-effective wireless tail-end cell-site connections and
standalone point-to-point links. In conjunction with the nodal site
capabilities of the Eclipse Packet Node, the IDU GE3 optimized
backhaul cost and performance. The IDU GE3 shares the very latest
in Ethernet Switch technology that is at the core of the recently
announced Eclipse DAC GE3 nodal Gigabit Ethernet card: to provide
seamless extension of Carrier Ethernet features from the node to
the cell site. This new embedded switch provides the most advanced
Carrier Ethernet features available in a microwave platform—for
hybrid or all-packet microwave transport. Available in a
space-saving one-half rack unit (RU) package, IDU GE3 offers
features that include:
- Full 256QAM Adaptive Coding and Modulation (ACM)
support—enabling up to a fourfold increase in spectral efficiency
over non-ACM systems;
- High port density with six Gigabit Ethernet (GigE) and 16
native TDM (E1/T1) ports;
- The latest Carrier Ethernet features, such as VLANs, advanced
Quality of Service (QoS) traffic priority assignment and Ethernet
OAM (Operations, Administration and Management); and
- Packet synchronization options—SyncE, IEEE 1588v2 and Eclipse
Distributed Sync (EDS)
"The IDU GE3 extends Eclipse Packet Node Carrier Ethernet
features in a new optimized package suitable for last mile
cell-site or simple link applications," says Shaun McFall, chief marketing officer and senior
vice president of Aviat Networks. "This new indoor unit packs an
incredible combination of transmission features and network
intelligence into a smaller footprint than ever before."
The new IDU GE3 is fully compatible with the Eclipse Packet Node
nodal indoor units and the complete line of Eclipse indoor and
outdoor RF units, enabling operators to immediately deploy this new
unit into existing Eclipse-based transmission networks with minimal
cost and operational impact.
Aviat Networks will be displaying the IDU GE3 at Mobile World
Congress in Barcelona, courtyard
pavilion CY08.
