The EX-2.4i-16 is the only 2.4GHz digital microwave radio with software expandability from 4 to 16 T1/E1 plus 100BaseT. The EX-2.4i-16 is a carrier class system with minimal latency, high spectral efficiency, security, and unprecedented spectrum management flexibility for the 2.4GHz ISM band.
The EX-2.4i-16 delivers maximum TDM capacity and IP functionality in one compact 1.5 RU package for the most demanding backhaul applications.
Exalt’s breakthrough spectrum-management technology provides up to 8 non-overlapping frequency channels, with 1 MHz fine tuning capability. This results in as many as 62 center frequencies of operation to choose from without new hardware or system re-tuning. As an additional interference countermeasure, the EX-2.4i-16 provides 8, 16, and 32 MHz channel bandwidths and synchronization to help maximize band usability and throughput. And, to support TDM to IP service migration strategies, the EX-2.4i-16 provides a smooth upgrade path to higher T1/E1 capacities and Ethernet services.
The system provides software expandability from 4 to 16 T1/E1 and a smooth upgrade path to higher capacity Ethernet services. TDM capacity may be convenienty expanded in groups of four ports via firmware option.
All this, while providing the lowest cost per megabit-mile in the market today!

* Firmware option required
** The figure listed is the actual aggregate user throughput, maximum, as measured at layer 2. T1 or E1 circuits may be enabled one at a time, as needed, and subtract 3.1 Mbps (1.544 Mbps full-duplex) or 4.1 Mbps (2.048 Mbps full-duplex), respectively, from the aggregate user throughput. Some combinations of frame size, link distance, T1/E1 enabling, bandwidth, mode and desired latency will result in reduced maximum aggregate throughput. See your Exalt Communications representative for details.
*** Firmware upgrade required.
**** Capacity may be increased in groups of 4T1/E1 from 4 to 16 via separately purchased software option.
***** For hot-standby protection, two complete links (4 terminals) are required along with protection kit and firmware option.
