PDH Microwave Transport Solution

ML-EC Indoor Series

Features

Standard compliant system for 7-23GHz of 4E1 or 8E1 capacity.

7MHz channel occupancy for both 4E1 and 8E1 using QPSK and 16QAM
respectively.
Adaptive Transmit Power Control (ATPC) and high sensitivity to improve link
reliability and stability.
Automatic Gain Control (AGC) function to compensate IF cable length.
Digital Signal Processing (DSP) and Forward Error Correction (FEC) technology to
improve transmitting quality.
Built-in testing functions to facilitate commissioning and troubleshooting.
Local management via CIT to facilitate commissioning.
NMS for end-to-end link performance, monitoring and diagnosis with SNMP
management.
Shared AUX/EOW interface via external AUX/EOW converter.
Wide operating range on power supply.
Tool-free ODU installation.

Product Description
Comba Digital Microwave System allows transmission links to be established rapidly and easily to meet a variety of
transmission needs, brings cost savings and helps rapid network rollout. The EC Indoor series PDH-Radio System
provides an applicable substitute for the facilities used in the areas required of basic capacity coverage. This solution
comprises of: antenna, outdoor unit, and indoor unit.
Antenna: A range of antenna is available to satisfy path design requirements. ODU connection is by direct mounting to the
antenna feed.
ODU: Converting between IF signal and link frequency, programmable channel and power including comprehensive
monitoring is achieved with the integrated Monitoring & Control Unit (MCU).
IDU: Performing base band signal processing locally, multiplex/demultiplex and modulation/demodulation functions,
providing tributary, auxiliary data and EOW interfaces.
Please consult us for exact and detailed product requirement for the territory(s) concerned, and to use the Microwave
Parabolic Antennas datasheet to select the required antenna(s) for each link.
