RAD’s Airmux-200 Broadband Wireless Multiplexer enables the user to connect Ethernet and E1/T1 circuits between two distant sites over broadband wireless. The Airmux-200 supports a radio air interface bandwidth of up to 48 Mbps, yielding a full duplex throughput of up to 18 Mbps for user traffic. This means the user can transport up to 4 E1/T1 voice circuits and have ample bandwidth remaining for 10/100BaseT Ethernet traffic. When combined with RAD’s IPmux solutions, the Airmux-200 can scale to support 7 E1 or 8 T1 circuits, plus Ethernet. |
