DRAGONWAVE APPLICATIONS
4G-Optimized Backhaul Engineered for the requirements of tomorrows networks, DragonWaves solutions respond to the needs of WiMAX and LTE service providers, delivering native packet transport, sub 0.1 ms latency, multi-Gigabit capacity and convergence of existing TDM traffic. Multi-Generation Mobile Backhaul DragonWaves backhaul solutions offer a smooth transition from 2G to next generation 3G or 4G networks by offering TDM and packet interfaces and a single end-to-end management framework. Leased Line Replacement Replace TDM leased line services and eliminate expensive recurring telecom costs while improving capacity and availability with an Ethernet packet network. Last Mile Fiber Extension Extend high-speed IP services beyond your existing network. DragonWave products are ideal for network hardening and disaster recovery, as well as for applications that require both legacy TDM services and carrier-grade, high-capacity native Ethernet. Network Evolution DragonWave offers the industrys only software-configurable microwave solution that can easily switch from hybrid to fullpacket transmission, providing a simple and intelligent future-proof network evolution. New Service Enablement Cable MSOs, fiber providers and other packet network operators gain immediate new revenue opportunities by offering profitable traditional services such as T1/E1 private line and PBX voice backhaul, as well as advanced Carrier Ethernet services. Private and Enterprise Networks Municipalities, healthcare facilities, financial institutions, schools, government institutions and other organizations can build carrier-grade private networks, achieving payback within the first year. Public Safety DragonWave provides essential inter-site connectivity and backhaul solutions for first responders, city facilities, wireless mesh networks, surveillance systems, city fleets and sensor networks. Microcellular Networks DragonWaves fully integrated, zoningfriendly microcellular platforms allow mobile operators to expand their mobile presence, improve in-building coverage and increase network capacity in high user-density areas.

AVENUE
INTEGRATED MICROCELLULAR PLATFORM
DragonWaves Avenue portfolio comprises several microcellular solutions ranging from a single microcell backhaul link (Avenue Link), to a fully-integrated microcellular unit (Avenue Site) containing up to three high capacity packet microwave backhaul radios and antennas, Ethernet switching, power supply, battery backup and a slot for a 3G/4G micro base station. All Avenue solutions are integrated within an environmentally hardened enclosure that is optimized for street-level deployment in urban environments. Engineered to provide the greatest flexibility for mobile operators, Avenue products can be deployed on any number of structures including street lamps, traffic light poles, or building sides. Avenue systems are designed to meet size, weight and aesthetic requirements set by city zoning officials, allowing the units to blend into urban environments. Avenue systems operate in 24, 28, 31, 38 and 60 GHz bands and are completely interoperable with other DragonWave solutions. Avenue Site offers a fully integrated microcellular platform: Up to 3 independently aligned packet microwave radios Battery backup Power supply Ethernet switching 3G/4G RAN slot Flat-mini antenna(s) Avenue Link includes integrated backhaul radio and flat-mini antenna Zoning-friendly, environmentally hardened enclosure Backhaul powered by Horizon for unparalleled packet microwave performance

HARMONY
PACKET HYBRID MICROWAVE
As the industrys only software-selectable evolution from hybrid to all-IP packet networks, Harmony is the intelligent solution for operators looking to future-proof their network investment. This unique solution can operate in hybrid or full-packet traffic modes, enabling a simple migration path from TDM to all-IP backhaul with true zero-touch on the existing hardware. This results in simplified operations, reduced capital cost and significant savings in total cost of ownership, while meeting the most stringent network requirements for highly time-sensitive applications. With the ability to operate either standalone or with the Harmony First Mile or Hub indoor units, the Harmony Multi-Radio can be optimized for each site, saving on capital and operations by reducing the number of elements in the network. For high capacity, long-haul applications, the Harmony Trunk offers high power transmission and a simple software-enabled migration from full-TDM to Hybrid TDM/IP to full-IP. Software-selectable hybrid and/or full packet air interface 3.5 to 42 GHz frequency coverage Pay-as-you-grow scalability up to 1 Gbps per 56 MHz channel XPIC for double capacity in the same channel bandwidth Network synchronization with SyncE and 1588v2 Service-aware radio to support differentiated QoS with up to 8 hardware queues Hitless Automatic Adaptive Modulation (HAAM) All-outdoor, split-mount and all-indoor deployment options Pay-as-you-grow with automatic remote scalability Space and frequency diversity with multiple protection options 802.1ad provider bridging and 802.1Q bridging E-LINE and E-LAN services Comprehensive Ethernet OAM support (802.3ah, 802.1ag, Y.1731) Ethernet ring protectionn
