IP-MAX2 Product Description 1

Introducing FibeAir IP-MAX2

FibeAir

IP-MAX2

is Ceragons comprehensive Gigabit Ethernet wireless transmission solution that delivers

fiber-like quality.

FibeAir IP-MAX2 enables native Ethernet transmission with multiple frequencies, software selectable

capacities, modulation schemes, and configurations for various network requirements, using the same

hardware and state-of-the-art technology. The system supports high-capacity data services as well as

traditional voice services, with both Ethernet and TDM interfaces.

This innovative platform uses an on-the-fly upgrade method, whereby network operators only buy capacity

as needed, benefiting from savings on initial investments and OPEX.

The IP-MAX

2

IDU (Indoor Unit) can host up to two carriers, each delivering over 400 Mbps, optimizing thesolution for different network topologies and configurations.

Traffic capacity throughput and spectral efficiency are optimized with the desired channel bandwidth. For

maximum user choice flexibility, channel bandwidths can be selected together with a range of modulations,

from QPSK to 256 QAM. Two independent hot swappable Indoor Unit Modules (IDMs) can be used for hot-

standby hardware protection, diversity, East-West configuration, or double capacity (2+0).

High spectral efficiency is ensured by choosing the same bandwidth for double the capacity, via two carriers

with vertical and horizontal polarizations. This feature is implemented by a built-in XPIC mechanism.

In short, IP-MAX2

is ideal for all your IP network-building needs.

Main FeaturesMaximum Throughput- Supports over 800 Mbps over a single 56 MHz channel, using co-channel and dual

polarization (CCDP) with XPIC, in a single IDU (two IDMs with two carriers, and one GBE physical

interface).

Full range fast Adaptive Modulation - Increases network capacity while reducing CAPEX. Adaptive

Modulation uses the highest possible modulation at any given moment, according to the link quality. A

hitless switchover is implemented between the different modulations, which range from 256 QAM to QPSK,

and all modulations in between.

Unique Multi Radio transmission - When operating in dual-radio configuration, each carrier fluctuates

independently with hitless switchovers between modulations, increasing capacity over a given bandwidth

and maximizing spectrum utilization. Traffic is divided among the two carriers without requiring Link

Aggregation, and is not dependent on the number of MAC addresses, the number of traffic flows or on their

momentarytraffic capacity. This gives IP-MAX2

the ability to provide the maximum bandwidth to the

application that requires it most.

Built-in Quality of Service - Provides priority support for different classes of service with packet

classification, including: external overhead, VLAN 802.1p, IPv4/IPv6 precedence, MPLS, and UDP. All

classes use four levels of prioritization with user-selectable options, including strict priority queuing and

hierarchical round robin.

Fast Recovery Time to Support RSTP- When combined with a switch/router that supports RSTP (Rapid

Spanning Tree Protocol), this feature ensures the quickest recovery time.

Highest Priority Level for BPDU Packets - Supports optimal operation of spanning tree protocols.

Supports Flow Control according to IEEE 802.3x- Provides efficient networking during throughput

reduction.

Ethernet and Radio Performance Monitoring- Statisticsarebased on ITU-T G.826 and RMON/RMON2.

Super Jumbo Frame Support- The Gigabit IDM supports frame sizes of up to 12,000 bytes. With this

feature, IP-MAX2 is poised to support next generation Ethernet networks. In heavily loaded networks, where

continuous data transfer is required, jumbo frames can significantly enhance the efficiency of Ethernet

servers and networks. Jumbo frames enable the reduction of server packet processing, which, in turn,

increases end-to-end throughput.

TDM Voice Transmission with Dynamic Allocation - With the n x E1/T1 option, only enabled E1/T1 ports

are allocated with capacity. The remaining capacity is dynamically allocated to the GBE ports to ensure

maximum Ethernet capacity.

Both IDMs are hot-swappable modules inserted in the IP-MAX2 IDU, providing wireless transmission with

Quality-of-Service (QOS) controls. Each GBE IDM optionally allocates

8 x E1/T1 ports and one radio interface.The electrical Gigabit Ethernet provides configurable high-capacity 10/100/1000BaseT while the optical

GBE IDM has an SFP-based optics receptacle.

Capacity upgrades using software-licensed keys with specific serial numbers are available with 100, 200,

300 and 400 Mbps throughput settings.

IDC Auxiliary Channel Options

The Indoor Controller (IDC) provides advanced options, such as the Wayside channel, Engineering Order

Wire, external alarm interfaces, and Ethernet management interfaces. The controller is an extractable, hot

swappable, and non-traffic-affecting drawer, with four different models to choose from.

All four models include management, external alarms, and protection interfaces. Only the type of auxiliary

channel may vary in accordance with the specific system configuration.

IDC modules include the following:

Ethernet Wayside Channel - up to 2 Mbps Ethernet channels (one per carrier).

This IDC includes an Engineering Order Wire interface (G.711 CVSD) for point-to-point voiceconnectivity.

Built-in Ethernet Hub

For applications such as in-band transmission of third party management information, FibeAir 1P-MAX2

provides a built-in Ethernet hub, as well as an out-of-band connection.

Management information can be transmitted in the management overhead bytes, while the transmission can

be controlled via Ceragons CeraView

management software.

Since in-band management enables all management information to be transmitted within the frame, there is

no need to install a separate management network.

Dynamic Adaptive Modulation

Dynamic Adaptive Modulation refers to the automatic modulation adjustment that a wireless system canperform to prevent weather-related fading from causing communication on the link to be disrupted. When

heavy weather conditions, such as a storm, affect the transmission and receipt of data and voice over the

wireless network, the radio system automatically changes the modulation so that non-real-time data-based

applications may be affected by signal degradation, but real-time applications will run smoothly and

continuously.

Since communication signals are modulated, varying the modulation varies the amount of bits that are

transferred per signal, enabling higher throughputs or better spectral efficiencies. It should be noted however,

that when using a modulation technique such as 64-QAM, better Signal-to-Noise Ratios (SNRs) are needed

to overcome interference and maintain a tolerable BER (Bit Error Ratio) level. Adaptive Modulation allows

the system to choose the best modulation, in accordance with the channel's condition, in order to overcome

fading and other interference.

FibeAir IP-MAX2

includes the Dynamic Adaptive Modulation algorithm, which ensures an increase in

capacity together with a parallel reduction of CAPEX.

The algorithm uses the highest possible modulation in accordance with link quality degradation. The

assumption is that while high revenue real-time applications such as video conferencing require constant

high performance transport, lower revenue non-real-time applications, such as email, require less stringent

transport performance.

In the following example, on a clear day, an IP-MAX2

transmits and receives data and voice at 400 Mbps,

using 256 QAM modulation. When the weather becomes overcast and stormy, the Dynamic Adaptive

Modulation algorithm changes the modulation to 32 QAM and the system transmits at 250 Mbps.

FibeAir


This switchover guarantees that the real-time voice applications will not experience signal degradation, while

at the same time reducing the amount of bandwidth required for the non-real-time data applications.

The modulation switchover is implemented using an Errorless and Hitless algorithm, maximizing spectrum

usage and enabling increased capacity over a given bandwidth.

As shown in the following illustration, as the weather conditions change, FibeAir IP-MAX2

alters the

modulation so that the highest availability of capacity is ensured.

All throughout the changes in modulation caused by medium deterioration, real-time services remain

unaffected.

FibeAir


Full Range Adaptive Modulation

Ceragon's Adaptive Modulation is extremely quick and switchovers can be performed as fast as tens of times

per second. When a switchover is performed it will step up or down through all the six modulation schemes

covered from 256QAM down to QPSK, and back up, covering all the modulations in between. This ensures

that the link will operate at the highest possible modulation in any given moment.

Adaptive Modulation and Built-in Quality of Service

Ceragon's Adaptive Modulation has a remarkable synergy with the equipment's built-in Layer 2 Quality of

Service mechanism. Since QoS provides priority support for different classes of service, according to a wide

range of criteria (see below) it is possible to configure the system to discard only low priority packets as

conditions deteriorate. FibeAir IP-MAX2

can classify packets according to the most external header, VLAN

802.1p, TOS / TC - IP precedence, MPLS experimental field, VLAN ID, and UDP packets. All classes use 4

levels of prioritization with user selectable options between strict priority queuing, weighted fair queuing,with 8:4:2:1 strict weights and user configurable weights.

If the user wishes to rely on external switches QoS, Adaptive Modulation can work with them via the flow

control mechanism supported in the radio.

Adaptive Modulation and Multi-Radio

FibeAir IP-MAX2

dual radio links can be configured to operate together with Adaptive Modulation. We call

it WALA (patent pending) - Wireless Adaptive Link Aggregation.

Typical 2+0 Llink Configuration

When operating in dual-radio configuration, each one of the carriers is independent to fluctuate while hitless

switchovers between modulations, increasing capacity over given bandwidth and maximizing spectrum

utilization. Traffic is divided among the two carriers without requiring Link Aggregation, and is not

dependent on number of MAC addresses or on their momentary traffic capacity. Hence the ability to provide

the maximum bandwidth to the application that requires it most. The result is 100% utilization of radio

resources; traffic load is balanced based on instantaneous radio capacity per carrier and is independent of

data/application characteristics (# of flows, capacity per flow etc.).

Quality of Service (QoS)

The Gigabit Ethernet Quality of Service method is based on the following data component order:

External Overhead

VLAN 802.1p

IPv4 /Ipv6

MPLS

UDP

Packet Classification

The system examines the incoming traffic and assigns the desired priority according to the marking of the

packets (based on the user port/L2/L3 marking in the packet). In case of congestion in the ingress port, low

priority packets will be discarded first.

The user has the following options:

- Priority bits designated VLAN ID source: None, External Overhead, VLAN 802.1p, IPv4/IPv6, MPLS

- Prioritized VLAN IDs: VLAN ID numbers and priority for each number

- First priority override: UDP packets

STP (Spanning Tree Protocol) Frame Prioritization

In radio links that are used to connect switches running spanning tree protocols, it is important to ensure that

the BPPU frames (transmitted periodically from the switches) are passed with the highest level of priority. If

BPDU frames are not received for a certain period of time, the STP will decide that the link is not active

(even though no problem exists) since BPDU frames did not get the highest priority and were discarded.

To ensure smooth STP operation, the system automatically gives the highest possible priority to BPDU

multicast frames. Just below this priority are located the user-defined highest priority frames.

Queuing and Scheduling

The system has four priority queues that are emptied according to three types of scheduling, as follows:

Strict priority (8:4:2:1)

In fixed priority, all top priority frames egress towards the radio until the top priority queue is empty.

Then, the next lowest priority queues frames egress, and so on. This approach ensures that high priority

frames are always transmitted as soon as possible.

Configurable Hierarchical Round Robin: each queue can be assigned with a user-configurable weight

from 1 to 16.

First queue as "strict" and the other three according to Hierarchical Round Robin (4:2:1)
