Redline RDL-3000 Radio Platform

 Redline

The RDL-3000 is Redline’s next-generation radio platform. The RDL-3000 incorporates 2 X 2 multiple-in, multiple-out (MIMO) and enhanced IEEE 802.16 radio technology to deliver industry-leading throughput and range along with Redline’s leading low latency making it ideal for next generation 3G and 4G / LTE networks. Chosen for its ability to be configured by software to provide point-to-point (PTP) or point-to-multipoint (PMP) links, the RDL-3000 is ideal for ultra high-capacity, extreme-range specialized wireless applications. Telecom service providers, local and state governments, the oil and gas industry and military organizations throughout the world use the RDL-3000.

Operating in the 4.9 GHz public safety band and the 5.2 GHz to 5.8 GHz band, the RDL-3000 is configured via software options and speed keys allowing you to purchase the features and throughput performance you need today and upgrade later without having to replace any hardware. With a simple software download, the RDL-3000 can be configured as PTP or PMP or can run specialized applications, from video surveillance to data acquisition, from high performance to ultra-high performance. This common radio platform approach simplifies network design and logistics while providing a high level of future-proofing.

Powered by Redline’s innovative fourth-generation IEEE 802.16 orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) technology, the RDL-3000 radio uses powerful hardware accelerators and MIMO technology that achieves the highest throughput, the lowest latency and the greatest line-of-sight (LOS) and non-line-of-sight (NLOS) ranges in the industry.

The RDL-3000 is fully compatible with Redline’s AN-80i, allowing existing AN-80i networks to easily upgrade to higher capacity and range by replacing sector controllers.

In the PTP configuration, the RDL-3000 has excellent range – over 120 kilometers – and delivers up to 100 Mbps Ethernet data rate, which is more than double the nearest competitor, making it the ideal choice for high-capacity backhaul applications. In the PMP configuration, the RDL-3000 delivers up to 100 Mbps Ethernet data rate, the highest in its class, and it supports a full range of quality of service (QoS) controls to enable premium access services for voice, data and video. Its industry-leading capacity also supports the maximum number of video cameras with the highest video quality. With either configuration, you are assured of the ultra-low latency – as low as one millisecond, which is as much as 10 times lower than the competition.

The RDL-3000 delivers unparalleled security with AES-128 and AES-256 encryption options, and X.509 certificate-based authentication. Its design is FIPS 140-2 compliant.

Available with a wide variety of antennas, the RDL-3000 is easy to install and manageable over-the-air (OTA) via Redline’s powerful ClearView NMS management software. Designed to meet stringent carrier-class requirements and IP67 rated for outdoor deployment, the powerful, versatile and reliable RDL-3000 is ideal for specialized point-to-point and point-to-multipoint wireless applications where high capacity, extreme range, security and reliability are paramount.
