Infnet’s latest SDR platform has been designed based on a Software-Defined Radio technology aimed at increasing link performance several-fold. Quanta 5 / Quanta 6 addressing challenges such as limited spectrum availability, growing interference challenges and demands for yet more capacity. Due to Octopus SDR platform Quanta 5 / Quanta 6 allow to bring new PHY, MAC and upper layer features via a firmware upgrade even for the units operating in the field.
An integrated wireless device contains the radio and networking electronics. Implemented in a robust all-weather metal enclosure, this equipment can be used to create point-to-point wireless links at distances in excess of 150 km (depending on country regulations, antenna types, interference, terrain, climate zones, etc.). There are several possible version of Quanta 5 / Quanta 6 solution enclosures:
For grounding the ODU to the supporting structure.
RJ-45 socket for connecting to power supply and network via the PoE power supply. The network connection to the ODU is made via a 1000Base-T (Gigabit) Ethernet connection. Power is provided to the ODU over the 1000Base-T Ethernet connection using a standard IEEE 802.3at passive PoE power supply.
The "POWER" indicator has three possible colors:
Other indicators are used to perform coarse antenna alignment. The more indicators are on, the better wireless connection is established. The blinking indicator means an intermediate state.
