Feature & Benefit Overview

page 19

2.4

4.9

11+

Native TDM and Native Ethernet

Feature
Native TDM

Benefit
> Available channel bandwidth carries user traffic not overhead thus conserving spectrum > When T1/E1 ports are added, TDM throughput is traded bit-forbit for Ethernet throughput and vice versa, so rated throughput always equals user-available throughput > Delivers low and consistent latency performance regardless of IP traffic behavior, including bursts > Ensures TDM timing is maintained and delay is minimized in multi-hop connections > Zero latency introduction ensures the highest performance IP transport over the radio link > Protects value of investment by supporting both current and future traffic allocation splits between TDM and Ethernet

Native Ethernet Variable Allocation

Interference Avoidance & Spectrum Management

Feature
1MHz tuning resolution
Precisely tune the center frequency of the selected occupied bandwidth

Benefit
In a crowded RF environment, narrow, specific gaps of available spectrum can be exploited

Selectable occupied bandwidth

8, 16, 32 and 64 MHz

Allows for maximum flexibility in matching utilized radio BW to available spectrum within a band -- a single Exalt radio can accommodate a variety of BW constraints and can make full use of a wide available bandwidth Allows for a wide degree of flexibility in trading off throughput and system gain

Selectable modulation

ExaltSync
High-density system collocation of multiple Exalt radios

> Provides ability to mount radios and antennas in close proximity and frequency without self-interference > Reduces tower and rooftop space requirements and operational costs > Uses single frequency channel to support up to N:1 channel re-use for maximum spectrum utilization > Leaves other spectrum clear

page 22

Throughput Symmetry Control

Feature
Selectable Throughput Symmetry
Five settings: 20/80, 80/20, 35/65, 65/35, 50/50

Benefit
> Enables ultra-efficient bandwidth allocation for heavy asymmetric traffic types such as video broadcast, surveillance and storage backup > For asymmetric deployments, enables link to operate at a lower modulation than would otherwise be required, increasing system gain > For asymmetric deployments, enables link to occupy less channel BW than would otherwise be required, increasing system gain and freeing up spectrum for other uses and/or reducing licensing cost

TDM Protection
TDM operation automatically protected in asymmetric modes
page 23

> Allows application of variable symmetry without concern for accidentally interfering with TDM traffic

Latency Optimization and Control

Feature
Selectable Fixed Latency

Benefit
> Allows for maximum flexibility in trading off between latency and throughput, enabling a single radio to be used to either ensure performance of latency-sensitive applications or to maximize spectrum utilization for best effort services > Provides guaranteed latency performance for latency-sensitive traffic, including mobile voice services and utility infrastructure control > Allows aggregate latency for multi-hop networks to be minimized while continuing to meet requirements associated with latency-sensitive traffic, e.g. TDM, VoIP, video > Provides optimal throughput for non-latency sensitive traffic traditional IP services such as web access and email

Minimum Fixed Latency Setting of 0.5ms

Maximum Fixed Latency Setting of 5ms

5 GHz Tri-Band Operation

Feature Benefit

Bandconfigurable for 5.2, 5.4 or 5.8 GHz

> Provides a wide range of spectrum alternatives, allowing user to choose which sub-band works best at the time of installation > Provides insurance in the event that the originally chosen band of operation later becomes less desirable > A single SKU supports operation in all three bands, thus minimizing inventory and sparing costs > Minimizes OPEX by enabling a one-time only antenna installation and alignment applicable to operation in all three bands

Simplified Sparing
Feature
Configurable Endpoint Identifier
2.4, 4.9, 5 GHz

Benefit
> Enables same radio/SKU to operate at either end of the link, reducing CAPEX associated with sparing > Simplifies logistics, procurement and deployment, saving administrative expense and reducing time-toservice > Enables the same IDU SKU to be used for all 11, 18, 23 GHz licensed bands, reducing CAPEX associated with sparing > Reduces time associated with frequency transition through ODU-only swap > In the event of frequency change, reduces CAPEX by allowing IDU reuse > Reduces training burden: all IDUs are the same, regardless of frequency

South Texas Electric Cooperative

Business Description
The South Texas Electric Cooperative (STEC) serves eight distribution cooperatives and 150,000 members across 33 counties in South Texas.

Technical Need
STEC has been rapidly expanding their distribution network and adding more SCADA and Ethernet traffic to their communications infrastructure. They needed a solution that could augment the capacity of their 6GHz licensed DS3 backhaul links without costly infrastructure upgrades or downtime.

Assumptions:
> FCC Regulations > 1dB coax jumper loss for external antennas, each end (except integrated) > Average climate, average terrain, no unusual multipath > 99.995% one-way predicted availability and >15dB fade margin Note: Exalt does not recommend cross-polarized 5GHz links greater than 16.3 miles for >99.995% availability
