CONSTELLATION®
Constellation is a scalable narrow,
medium and high capacity, point-to-point digital
microwave radio designed to meet the transmission
needs of a wide variety of customers and applications.
A rich feature set delivers robust operation with
maximum system gain, superior T/I values to facilitate
frequency coordination, protection from far-end
transmitter and antenna feeder degradations through
Reverse Channel Switching, and security from fading
effects and module degradations using powerful
FEC, Adaptive Time Domain (ATDE), and Slope Amplitude
(ASAE) Equalizers.
Key Features
- Operates in the 6, 7/8, 10/11 GHz frequency
bands
- Transport of ANSI digital hierarchy capacities
