For the longer symbol times used by the X-100 system the cyclic prefix is only a small fraction of the total bandwidth.

The X-100 system has a small, all-outdoor, zero-footprint form factor that can be easily deployed on towers, poles, building sidewalls, or rooftops unobtrusively. Page 8 of 91...

  • Page 10: 100 System Description

    Release 1.0 2 X-100 System Description The BLiNQ X-100 system is designed to meet the requirements of network operators for high capacity and reliability in small cell base station backhaul applications, as well as in a number of other applications. The system can function either as Point-to-Point (PTP) or Point-to-Multipoint (PMP) wireless Ethernet bridge equipment.
  • Page 11 The X-100 system is small in size (31x21x8 cm) and low in weight (3.5 kg) so it can be easily mounted on the network operator’s existing tower assets. The small size and weight allows quick deployment of the RBMs at customer premises in different enterprise/corporate data backhaul applications or other types of industrial and commercial applications.
  • Page 12 Configuration Management: BLiNQ products are designed to minimize the configuration effort • by the network operator. For example, when deployed in the field, the X-100 system can obtain its IP address through DHCP rather than have it statically assigned by the user. Further, the X- 100 system provides a web-based configuration tool called the X-100 WebUI and a standard Command Line Interface (CLI) that run directly on the X-100 equipment.

  • Page 17: Link Budget And System Gain

    Release 1.0 4 Link Budget and System Gain Table 6 lists the link budget for the BLiNQ X-100 system at 3.65 GHz in a 2x2 Multiple Input Multiple Output-Spatial Multiplexing (MIMO-SM) operation. The X-100 system provides very high system gain (134 dB for 256 Quadrature Amplitude Modulation [QAM] 5/8 Modulation and Coding Scheme [MCS]).

  • Page 18: System Trade-Offs

    Range, capacity and reliability are three factors that can be traded off against each other. The higher the fade margin, the lower the reach of the X-100 is to achieve a certain capacity target. For example, Figure shows a system gain of 136 dB for 256-QAM 5/8 MCS which results in a throughput of 61 Mbps.

  • Page 20: System Synchronization

    When configured to synchronize on GPS, the X-100 system uses its internal GPS antenna and receiver module to synchronize to the GPS network. This allows all X-100 HMs deployed in the network to accurately synchronize their transmit and receive operations on the air interface. The GPS system also allows the X-100 system to determine accurate time of day and date information.
