Indoor Unit (IDU): The IDU provides the customer interfaces/installed in customers premises for example- in a server room. Antenna: The antenna connects, typically, directly to the OCU and enables us to transmit our information to the far end of the link.
At Zycomm, we can provide microwave links for SAF. SAF offer a full range of microwave products. The main being: CFIP-108: Is an all outdoor solution providing up to 108 • Mbp/s of capacity with Ethernet and E1 interfaces. CFIP- Lumina: Is an all outdoor solution providing up to • 366 Mbp/s of capacity with Ethernet and E1 interfaces. CFIP- Phoenix: Is a split mount solution providing up to • 366 Mbp/s of capacity with a mixture of customer interfaces accessed via the IDU.
The benefits of SAF include: Industry leading development times Low power consumption <25W meaning solar/wind power can be used All outdoor solution meaning customers save on both capex and opex costs.
Microwave radios provide a quick and easy cost effective solution in linking two locations together. They provide high quality throughput and a reliable means of communication. They have a place in most networks, given a good line of site can be established.
