Super Dual Band

Super Dual Band (SDB) is a brand new cross-band
radio link aggregation technology. The use of the
SDB technology, employing enhanced physical link
aggregation(EPLA), adaptive modulation(AM) and
Quality of Service(QoS), ensures that the bonding
between common-band and E-band frequencies, is
the solution to the increased need for Multi Giga
transmission, without compromising long transmis-
sion distance or link availability KPIs.
This technology is now widely used in commercial
networks.

Long Di stance
Common-band microwave links employed to secure
transmission of high-priority services, reducing
availability requirements for E-band microwave links
and achieving a transmission distance 3 times that
provided by E-band alone.

SDB Dual-Band Antenna
Traditionally, two antennas are used to transmit
common-band and E-band signals respectively. This
poses high requirements for infrastructure
construction, deployment , and O&M at sites. After
continuous evolvement of the microwave transmis-
sion technology throughout the years, Huawei has
launched the industrys first Dual Band antenna
which supports the simultaneous transmission of
signals carried by two different frequencies. Dual
Band antennas reduce half the number of antennas
required in a Super Dual Band configuration and
optimize the TCO for the configuration.
