Dual Pole Radio Mount
Horizon and AirPair can be configured with a Dual Pole Radio Mount (DPRM) to deliver an in-service scaleable solution of up to 1600 Mbps full duplex on a single antenna. The DPRM is mounted to a single antenna. Two radios are connected to the DPRM, one oriented horizontal and the other vertical polarized, to achieve the bandwidth doubling. DPRM optimizes a service provider’s footprint and reduces total network cost by reusing the antenna and tower space. Alternatively, DPRM can provide a redundancy option in load sharing or Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) configurations.
Power Split Radio Mount
Using a single antenna and link license, AirPair can be configured with a Power Split Radio Mount (PSRM) to provide 1+1 radio redundancy. The PSRM is mounted to a single antenna and two Horizon or AirPair radios are connected to the PSRM, configured in the same polarization. Each radio is connected to the same modems using the UpMast Radio Switch (UMRS) to achieve equipment redundancy. This configuration provides increased redundancy with significant savings over a fully redundant link. This configuration is also useful to reduce mean time to repair in situations where radios and modems are installed in hard to climb to places.
UpMast Radio Switch
Horizon DUO and AirPair configuration with the UpMast Radio Switch (UMRS) provides 1+1 radio protection using a single modem. The UMRS switch offers protection for radio failures, by enabling a stand-by radio with a two-second switchover time. This configuration provides increased redundancy with significant savings over a fully redundant link. It is especially useful to reduce mean time to repair in situations where radios are installed in hard to climb to places.
