Introducing FibeAir™ 1500P
Continuing with its tradition of innovative high-capacity broadband wireless network solutions, Ceragon
Networks® presents FibeAir™ 1500P, the latest state-of-the-art FibeAir™ family product. FibeAir™ 1500P
is a response to the ever-growing demands by cellular, fixed, and private network system operators for
higher-capacity connectivity, more efficient management of increasingly complex networks, and more cost-
effective deployment and maintenance of their networks.

FibeAir™ 1500P is upgradeable for capacities of 100 to 622 Mbps, using the same 1U IDU, supporting 1+0,
2+0, 4+0 (with optional XPIC, Cross Polarization Interference Canceller mechanism), 2+0 East-West,
1+1/2+2 HSB, and 1+1 HSB with space or frequency diversity mode. Point-to-point, ring, star, and cascaded
chain topologies are supported.

With FibeAir™ 1500P operating in co-channel dual polarization (CCDP) mode, using the cross polarization
interference canceller (XPIC) algorithm, two STM-1/OC-3 signals can be transmitted over a single 28 MHz
channel, using vertical and horizontal polarization. This enables double capacity in the same spectrum
bandwidth.

FibeAir™ 1500P can integrate seamlessly in any SDH/SONET, IP, and ATM network, and supports a wide
variety of interfaces, including nxE1/T1, Fast Ethernet, and nxSTM-1/OC-3.

Advantages
FibeAir 1500P is an innovative product with many advantages in the broadband wireless market.

With FibeAir 1500P, Ceragon introduces a breakthrough in the point-to-point market with both XPIC and
double capacity in a 1U system, enabling a single system to reach 622 Mbps.

The versatility of FibeAir 1500P enables operators to deploy the same system throughout their networks in a
variety of different configurations.

The following is a list of some other FibeAir 1500P advantages:

Up to 2 independent, hot-swappable carriers in one 1U compact upgradeable chassis (100-622 Mbps),

supporting space and frequency diversity

311 Mbps - single carrier

Same 1U IDU configurations: 116 Mbps over 28 MHz, 311 Mbps over 56 MHz, 311 Mbps over
28 MHz (dual polarization with XPIC), 622 Mbps over 56 MHz (dual polarization with XPIC)

FibeAir 1500P Product Description 3

Applications
FibeAir 1500P enables rapid and cost-effective high-capacity connectivity for carriers, both in the cellular
and fixed operator markets, for private networks and enterprises.

Mobile Cellular Infrastructure - Ceragon’s FibeAir 1500P is an optimal solution for mobile cellular
networks, which require higher capacity due to an increase in subscribers, cell sites and data rich
applications. As an intelligent network element, FibeAir offers a smooth migration path from existing PDH
to SONET/SDH network functionality and to next generation ATM and IP.

Fixed Networks - To bridge the broadband access gap between end-user demands and the core network
infrastructure, Ceragon’s FibeAir 1500P offers carriers high-capacity wireless metropolitan ring and PTP
solutions in the core network. FibeAir 1500P delivers Internet access and integrated high-speed data, video
and voice traffic in a cost-effective manner.

Private Networks and Enterprises - The modular FibeAir is ideal for private networks, such as
educational and financial institutions, utility companies, and goverment and corporate campuses, providing
carrier-class voice ATM, IP private networks, and IP + TDM direct connections.

FibeAir 1500P Product Description 4

FibeAir 1500P System Configurations

FibeAir 1500P Product Description 5

FibeAir 1500P System Expansion
Crucial aspects of any network are its upgradeability and survivability, which means that the network must
be able to grow whenever the demand for increased capacity arises, and it must ensure reliable connectivity.
FibeAir 1500P was designed with upgradeability and protection in mind. Its multiple schemes of capacity,
modulation, and interfaces enable it to provide a complete one-box solution for your network growth and
protection requirements, with optimum cost-effectiveness.
As your network grows, FibeAir 1500P grows with it. When higher capacity is required, FibeAir 1500P is
upgraded on-the-fly, by replacing hot swappable modular units in the IDU, without interrupting system
operation! And, when protection is required, the same FibeAir 1500P 1U IDU can provide it.
The following illustrations show how FibeAir 1500P is upgraded as the network expands.

FibeAir 1500P Product Description 6

 Note that for protection in a system with one carrier, only an additional IDM (In-Door Module) is
required in the same IDU (In-Door Unit). For protection in a two-carrier system, an additional IDU is
required.

Phase 3: Same FibeAir 1500P Unit, 622/311/155 Mbps, in Link, Ring, and Star Topologies

As is evident from the illustrations, by upgrading the same units with higher capacity modules,
FibeAir 1500P provides ongoing support for network growth minus the cost of additional units.

FibeAir 1500P Product Description 7

Management
Ceragon provides state-of-the-art management based on SNMP. Our management applications are written in
Java code and can control Ceragon units at both the element and network levels. The applications run on
Windows 98/2000/XP/NT, UNIX, and Sun Solaris.
CeraView® is Ceragon’s SNMP-based EMS (Element Management System) that enables the operator to
perform element configuration, performance monitoring on RF and SDH levels, remote diagnostics, alarm
reports, and more. CeraView integrates with different NMS (Network Management System) platforms, such
as HP OpenView and SNMPc, to provide more comprehensive system management.

Example of CeraView® for FibeAir 1500P

PolyView™ is Ceragon’s network management system that can be used to change the network topology to
monitor network element status, provide statistical and inventory reports, download software and
configuration to elements in the network, and other network-level operations. Like CeraView, PolyView
integrates with other NMS platforms, such as HP OpenView, to provide more comprehensive network
management.

As shown in the photo above, the left section of the FibeAir 1500P front panel includes 2 Ethernet ports for
management, a Wayside channel connector, terminal and SLIP connectors, an external alarms port, and a
protection cable connector.

In addition, the front panel includes two drawers with internal modems, STM-1/OC-3 connectors, an
N-Type IDU-ODU connector, and a DC power input connector.

Each modem drawer includes its own independent power supply unit and can be removed/replaced without
causing other radio operation interference.

Built-in Ethernet Hub

For applications such as in-band transmission of third party management information, FibeAir 1500P
provides a built-in Ethernet hub, as well as an out-of-band connection.
Management information can be transmitted in the DCC overhead bytes, while the transmission can be
controlled via Ceragon’s CeraView® management software.
Since in-band management enables all management information to be transmitted within the SDH/SONET
frame, there is no need to install a separate management network.
