This lightweight radio is available in a high power version that boasts 27 dBm of output power and as a standard radio with 19 dBm of power. It covers the 6 / 7 / 8 / 10 / 11 / 13 / 15 / 18 / 23 / 26 / 38 GHz bands with channel bandwidths from 20 MHz to 56 MHz, conforming to both American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) specifications. The RDL-5000’s high power and better sensitivity allow you to use smaller antennas. Its high capacity results in fewer links. The RDL-5000’s superior performance generates significant CAPEX and OPEX savings.
The integrated 2-port gigabit switch is the most powerful and versatile available in any radio. Electrical (RJ-45 connector) and optical data (SM or MM) interfaces are standard on the RDL-5000 unit, providing complete site-specific flexibility. The switch supports standard redundancy, ring and mesh topologies, and link aggregation for 1.6 Gbps total throughput. The unit also supports virtual LAN (VLAN), eight-level quality of service (QoS), Q-in-Q, spanning tree, and jumbo frames, thus providing total deployment flexibility. The switch operates with half the latency and four times the packet processing speed (PPS) of other solutions, ensuring all your IP applications work seamlessly over wireless. The integrated switch can reroute traffic via spanning tree (802.1d protocol) in less than 10 msec, allowing ring and mesh topologies to deliver consistent performance and reliability to pure packet microwave.
Redline custom tunes each frequency diplexer to the radio head-end, allowing the RDL-5000 to outperform any other microwave system, in any frequency. The RDL-5000 uses higher modulation rates to achieve higher throughput at longer ranges to support more applications and connect more sites with fewer radios versus the competition. Stable and hitless Adaptive Coded Modulation (ACM) eliminates the effects of rain fade and complex selective and multipath fading, ensuring zero lost packets, zero change in bit error rate, zero increase in latency, and zero increase in jitter so applications keep running despite the weather.
The RDL-5000 is available in an economic 200 Mbps version that can be upgraded via software to a speed of 800 Mbps. With a “green” power consumption of 35 watts and high reliability, the high capacity RDL-5000 provides the ultimate in licensed band PTP connectivity for pure packet networks.
Information technology professionals can quickly deploy and manage the RDL-5000 from any location with Redline’s ClearView NMS network management software. ClearView NMS is easy to deploy and runs on most Windows®, UNIX® and LINUX® operating systems. The strong network discovery capability quickly locates all devices throughout the network and presents them in an easy-to-read topology map. Clicking on a device on the map reveals its status and performance indicators and allows you to drill down to view detailed device configuration parameters. ClearView NMS provides centralized management for all wireless products in the RDL family.
The numbers behind the RDL-5000 tell the story: higher power and better sensitivity at every modulation; greater capacity and lower latency at any frequency; more switching functionality without added latency—all of this with the lowest power and the industry’s lightest all-outdoor microwave packet radio. Once again, Redline delivers a radio system to use when everything else falls short.
