o FCC L6, U6 and 7 GHz o IC L6 11 GHz IRFU covers following band o FCC 11 GHz o IC 11 GHz

PTP800i support following different radio setups: IRFU 1+0 IRFU 1+0, ready to upgrade to 1+1 Tx MHSB with Equal Splitter IRFU 1+0, ready to upgrade to 1+1 Tx MHSB with Unequal Splitter IRFU 1+1, Tx MHSB with Equal Splitter IRFU 1+1, Tx MHSB with Unequal Splitter IRFU 1+1, Tx MHSB with Rx Spatial Diversity IRFU 2+0 IRFU Repeater (East/West) 3.2 Support of Switched Spatial Diversity System Release PTP 800-05-00 introduces switched spatial diversity for ODU-A, ODU-B and IRFU deployment. It is also compatible with both Fixed modulation and Adaptive Modulation. Spatial Diversity improves link availability by providing each end of the wireless link with two observations of the signal which has been transmitted from the other end of the link. It is particularly effective in combating multipath fading caused by atmospheric effects such as scintillation and ducting. Both these effects can occur to a significant degree in microwave links. It also combats fading caused by reflections from water. 3.3 Support of QoS based on Network Layer Classification

System Release PTP 800-05-00 introduces QoS control where frame classification is based on following network layer priority schemes: IPv4 DSCP IPv6 DSCP MPLS TC priority 3.4 Support of ASTRO UEM and Wireless Manager

System Release PTP 800-05-00 is compatible with ASTRO Unified Event Manager (UEM) (starting with UEM release A7.9) for Fault Management integration, which complies with all Information Assurance (IA) requirements required as part of UEM A7.9 system release. This includes SNMPv3, HTTPS, Identity-based user accounts, Strong Password enforcement rules, remote authentication user RADIUS-CHAP, and Syslog/local Logging. System Release PTP 800-05-00 is compatible with Cambium Wireless Manager for all fault management and configuration management.
