SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

The RF-7800W HCLOS broadband Ethernet radio is designed to be used in multiple mission configurations to
provide a seamless extension of Layer 2 Ethernet Local Area Networks (LANs) and Wide Area Networks (WANs).
The RF-7800W-OU47x and RF-7800W-OU50x models provide high data rates by way of Multiple-Input, Multiple-
Output (MIMO) technology. Each wireless network consists of two or more RF-7800W systems configured either
for Simple Point-to-Point (SPTP) or Simple Point-to-MultiPoint (SPMP) operation. One radio in each wireless
network operates as a Sector Controller (SC) while the others operate as Subscriber Stations (SS).
The RF-7800W-OU47x and RF-7800W-OU50x model radios are designed to provide robust, long-range backbone
connectivity. The frequency range for the RF-7800W-OU47x is 4.4 to 5.0 GHz and the frequency range for the RF-
7800W-OU50x is 4.4 to 5.875 GHz. The radio models support four channel bandwidths (5, 10, 20, 40 MHz) in both
SPTP and SPMP modes of operation with operating frequency selection in increments of 0.5 MHz. The radios
feature easy-to-use management interfaces, an internal Global Positioning System (GPS) module, and a
management-only port. The GPS module provides the radio location and very accurate time synchronization. The
management port can be used to ensure isolation of user and management traffic when external Inline Network
Encryption (INE) devices are in use.
The RF-7800W-OU47x/-OU50x radio is FIPS 140-2 level 2 certified. Refer to RF-7800W-OU47X/-OU50X
Security Operation Supplement (10515-0426-4000) for more information.
The RF-7800W-OU47x and RF-7800W-OU50x radios can be installed with various antennas.
