Johannesburg, South Africa – 10 February 2012 – Multisource, South Africa’s leading wireless technology provider, is pleased to announce the introduction of a new interference-free backhaul solution developed by Czech-based Alcoma - a global leader in the provision of wireless solutions for Ethernet, PDH, and SDH networks.
Designed as a carrier grade and licensed spectrum link, Alcoma and Multisource are now offering links in the freely available and un-congested 17 GHz band. Not only is this frequency largely unused but is also well outside of the frequency interferences of the mass-market 2.4 and 5.8 multipoint access market.
The features of this offering include:
• Capacities of up to 384Mbps full duplex
• 2 x Ethernet 100Base-Tx or 1-2 x Ethernet 1000Base-Tx interfaces
• Optional additional Optical Ethernet interface (for Ethernet 1000Base-Tx)
• Optional 1+1 or 2+0 configurations
• Built in spectrum analyser
• Indoor and Outdoor surge protection
• Frequency bands 17.1-17.3 GHz
• Channel bandwidths of 7, 14, 28 Mhz (56MHz for the MP360 unit)
• SNMP based diagnostics and ASD configuration, management, and diagnostic system.
Alcoma has been designing and producing Ethernet/PDH/SDH point to point microwave radio relay links and radio equipment for the past two decades.
In this time, the company has delivered in excess of 12,000 links across 26 countries in Europe, Asia, Latin America and now, through Multisource, in Africa.
The radio equipment is designed to operate on the 4 – 80 GHz frequency bands, including 5, 17, 24 and 80 GHz free-bands both in split and all outdoor
design for transmission capacity from 5 Mbps to 1,5 Gbps.
The new partnership positions Multisource as the exclusive distribution partner for Alcoma products in South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, Swaziland,
Lesotho, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Malawi, Tanzania and Kenya.
