Each site installation consists of an integrated or connectorized outdoor unit (ODU) and a power injector (PSU) (Figure 1).
  • Page 26: Hardware Overview

    Chapter 1: Product description Overview of the PTP 650 Hardware overview The main hardware components of the PTP 650 are as follows: • Outdoor unit (ODU): The ODU is a self-contained transceiver unit that houses both radio and networking electronics. The ODU is supplied in the following product variants: Integrated or Connectorized: The ODU may be either Integrated (attached to its own flat plate antenna) or connectorized (without an antenna).
  • Page 27: Wireless Operation

    Chapter 1: Product description Wireless operation Wireless operation This section describes how the PTP 650 wireless link is operated, including modulation modes, power control and security. Time division duplexing TDD cycle PTP 650 links operate using Time Division Duplexing (TDD). They use a TDD cycle in which the ODUs alternately transmit and receive TDD bursts.
  • Page 28 Figure 2 TDD cycle Channel selection The PTP 650 series links are capable of transmitting and receiving on the same channel or on different channels. In other words, the slave-master direction may use a different channel from the master-slave direction. Independent selection of transmit and receive frequencies can be useful in planned networks or for countering interference.
  • Page 29: Link Mode Optimization

    • 2:1 – The capacity in the direction Master to Slave is twice that of the direction Slave to Master. The PTP 650 series achieves this by setting the Burst Duration of the Master to twice that of the Slave.
  • Page 30: Ofdm And Channel Bandwidth

    Spectrum management measurements The PTP 650 Series performs two mean signal measurements per TDD cycle, per channel. This mean measurement represents the mean received signal power for the 40 microsecond measurement period.
  • Page 31: Adaptive Modulation

    Adaptive modulation The PTP 650 series can transport data over the wireless link using a number of different modulation modes ranging from 256QAM 0.81 to BPSK 0.63. For a given channel bandwidth and TDD frame structure, each modulation mode transports data at a fixed rate. Also, the receiver requires a minimum signal to noise ratio in order to successfully demodulate a given modulation mode.
  • Page 32: Mimo

    Chapter 1: Product description Wireless operation Note PTP LINKPlanner includes an estimate of mean data rate, the data rate provided by each modulation and the percentage of time spent in each modulation mode. MIMO Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) techniques provide protection against fading and increase the probability that the receiver will decode a usable signal.
  • Page 33: Dynamic Spectrum Optimization

    Wireless operation Dynamic spectrum optimization The PTP 650 series uses an interference mitigation technique known as Dynamic Spectrum Optimization (DSO). Both the Master and Slave continually monitor for interference on all channels and then select the best frequency of operation. This is a dynamic process where the PTP 650 can continually move channels in response to changes in interference.
  • Page 34: Encryption

    Chapter 1: Product description Wireless operation Note Fixed frequency allocation is not recommended in radar avoidance regions, as any radar detection would cause a system outage of at least 30 minutes. Encryption The PTP 650 supports optional encryption for data transmitted over the wireless link. The encryption algorithm used is the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) with 128-bit and 256-bit key size.
  • Page 35: Ptp Networks

    Chapter 1: Product description Wireless operation PTP networks Using Dynamic Spectrum Optimization The Dynamic Spectrum Optimization (DSO) feature allows a PTP 650 unit to select wireless channels for a lower level of radio frequency (RF) interference. This approach is appropriate where the network consists of a small number of PTP links, or where the RF interference is predominantly from equipment belonging to other operators.
  • Page 36: Ethernet Bridging

    This section describes how the PTP 650 processes Ethernet data, in both the customer and system management networks. Ethernet ports The PTP 650 Series ODU has three Ethernet ports: • Main PSU: The Main PSU port provides a copper Ethernet interface for 100BASE-TX and 1000BASE-T, and accepts power from the AC+DC Enhanced Power Injector or the AC Power Injector to the ODU using a proprietary power over Ethernet (PoE) method.
  • Page 37: Customer Data Network

    Customer data network Transparent Ethernet service The PTP 650 Series provides an Ethernet service between one of the Ethernet ports at a local ODU and one of the Ethernet ports at an associated remote ODU. The Ethernet service is based on conventional layer two transparent bridging, and is equivalent to the Ethernet Private Line (EPL) service defined by the Metro Ethernet Forum (MEF).
  • Page 38 Fragments are reassembled on reception, and incomplete Ethernet frames are discarded. Wireless link down alert The PTP 650 Series provides an optional indication of failure of the wireless link by means of a brief disconnection of the copper data port or the optical data port allocated to the customer data network.

Caution It is the responsibility of the user to ensure that the PTP product is operated in accordance with local regulatory limits.
  • Page 102: Regulatory Limits

    8° Regulatory limits Many countries impose EIRP limits (Allowed EIRP) on products operating in the bands used by the PTP 650 Series. For example, in the 5.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz bands, these limits are calculated as follows: • In the 5.4 GHz band (5470 MHz to 5725 MHz), the EIRP must not exceed the lesser of 30 dBm or (17 + 10 x Log Channel width in MHz) dBm.
  • Page 103: Available Spectrum

    Chapter 3: System planning Radio spectrum planning Available spectrum The available spectrum for operation depends on the regulatory band. When configured with the appropriate license key, the unit will only allow operation on those channels which are permitted by the regulations. Note In Italy, there is a regulation which requires a general authorization of any 5.4 GHz radio link which is used outside the operator’s own premises.
