streams that double/triple the throughput using same channel
bandwidth, providing superior spectral efficiency.
o Longer range and high reliability - by transmitting multiple lower rate
streams, MIMO achieves longer ranges and higher margins.
o Diversity increases availability and reliability - transmitting redundant
streams enables lower fade margins by choosing the highest quality
stream.
Figure 2: WipAir 8000 2x2 dual polarization MIMO
• Multiple access methods -

o FDD - upstream and downstream on different channels.
o TDD - upstream and downstream on same channel.
• High capacity – up to 1000 Mbps net throughput.
• Best latency - 1msec typical (PTP). Ideal for backhaul, multi-hop backhauls
and voice, video & interactive applications.
• More than 400,000 PPS (Packets per Second).

increases RF robustness by eliminating false receptions of noise and
maintaining stable operation with constant throughput and latency
(non-interrupted reception).
o TDMA based protocol - schedules link’s transmission and reception
time to maintain and guarantee collision-free operation and non-
interrupted transmission.
o Hitless ACM – Hitless Adaptive Modulation and Coding (or fixed
manual configuration) guarantees error-free operation.
o Fastest ARQ - Automatic Retransmit reQuest.
o Most advanced coding – LDPC.
• Quality of Service – built in QoS in both PTP and PTMP modes:

o 8 priority queues per remote and per direction (downstream /
upstream).
o 802.1p, 802.1q, TOS and DSCP QoS classification.
o MIR/CIR/BE Service Level Agreement (SLA).
o Traffic shaping per remote and per direction (downstream / upstream).
o Allows overbooking of system resources.
o Optimize system capacity according to remote station activity.
o Optimize system latency according to actual traffic load and remote
station activity.
