Overview
Transcend VP is the Value Proposition solution to microwave radio links – designed and built for cost, reliability, and performance. The Transcend VP split-mount microwave radio is software adjustable up to 16 x E1/T1s with simultaneous support of TDM and Ethernet traffi c. Transcend VP delivers an optimized solution for telecom and data communication networks. With wide frequency support covering all licensed bands and bandwidths from 6 GHz to 38 GHz and the highest system gain in the industry, Transcend VP meets worldwide coverage demands for different network confi gurations and path conditions. Transcend VP includes full featured Ethernet switching and routing functionalities through its built in 4-port 10/100 BaseT Ethernet switch. Ethernet capacity can be fl exibly assigned with support for port-to-port VLANs, fl ow control, and statistics. Microwave network confi guration is simplifi ed through Transcend VPs ability for automatic discovery of other radios along a network via an Ethernet cable or a radio link. IP configuration is also fl exibly supported through RIP. Advanced Ethernet functionalities include traffi c shaping. Traffi c grooming, cross connection, expansion, and redundancy is supported through the integration of a front plane high speed serial interface. This ring network’s serial connection offers high bandwidth, forward compatibility with Allgon Microwave’s latest radios and fl exibility in radio and rack layout.
Transcend VP includes a secure Embedded Element Manager (Web interface, Telnet, and SSH) built upon open standards. Allgon Microwave’s optional NetWay Manager™ is a complete network management suite compatible with all Allgon Microwave’s point-to-point microwave radios.
