Expanded AMR functionality

AMR is a technology to
improve robustness mainly in
the packet transmission
environment by utilizing
thermal threshold difference
between modulation hierarchy
such as QPSK and 256 QAM.
On the fine day, the operator
can get the 220Mbps
throughput over the link which
is designed for 53Mbps
throughput as illustrated in the
figure.
iPASOLINK support hitless
modulation switchover from
256QAM to QPSK as shown
in table.

iPASOLINK XPIC (Cross Polarization Interference Canceller)

Submission : Yes

iPASOLINK can double its transmission capacity up to 880Mbps in 56MHz

bandwidth by adopting NECs state of the art XPIC technology.
The additional required components for XPIC are;
Dual polarized antenna,
Additional ODU,
Associated IF cable kit,
Soft-key upgrade in IDU.
iPASOLINK400 can be configured 2 pair of XPIC links with one IDU.

(In case of iPASOLINK200, no cable connection is required at the front panel for XPIC )
