Overview

Allgon Microwave, the true Ethernet Microwave Radio pioneer, continues to advance its position as the leading native Ethernet microwave supplier with the high capacity AMR Transcend 100. The AMR Transcend 100 is the first radio system to offer true Adaptive Coding and Modulation leading to higher availability, smaller antennas, and longer distances between antennas all translating into the lowest Total Cost of Ownership. The Transcend 100 microwave radio flexibly supports 100 mbps of IP traffic with an additional 4E1/T1s available for wayside traffic. The Transcend 100 microwave radio is ideal for IP or mixed IP/TDM networks where high capacity and the highest system availability is required such as backhauling IP/TDM networks such as Mesh WiFi, WiMax, 3G/4G, and private networks carrying data, voice, and video. Transcend 100‰’s ACM functionality adapts coding and modulation, without payload error, to changing environmental conditions. Instead of losing the connection due to heavy fading, Transcend 100 adjusts in real-time radio performance to maintain connection and maximize up-time and availability. In addition to true ACM, Transcend 100 includes several other path fade countermeasures including Low Density Parity Check, the most advanced forward error correction engine available today, adaptive time domain equalizer, and other advanced techniques. The result of these technologies is higher system gain which translates into higher availabilities. The AMR Transcend 100 access Node Controller (aNC) includes a 4-port 10/100BaseT Layer 2 Ethernet switch. The switch supports Quality of Service (QoS) which is required for IP-networks in demanding applications such as Voice over IP (VoIP) and Video on Demand (VoD). With built-in traffic priority, Transcend 100 ensures safe delivery of information together with low latency and a minimum of packet loss over the transmission. Transcend 100 includes a secure Embedded Element Manager (Web interface, Telnet). Allgon Microwave‰’s optional NetWay Manager‰™ is a complete network management suite compatible with all Allgon Microwave‰’s point-to-point microwave radios.
