North America - March 18th, 2008

4RF Communications announces North America’s first complete portfolio of sub3 GHz microwave radio systems to use 128QAM modulation.

Latest innovation from 4RF Communications delivers higher capacity, better spectrum utilization and lower costs for rural operators in North America.

The Aprisa XE, distinguished as a market leader and deployed in over 95 countries has been enhanced to support 128QAM modulation. The resulting increase in capacity delivers more value for operators looking to maintain or deploy microwave radio networks operating in 900MHz, 1.7 GHz, 2.1 GHz and 2.3 GHz licensed frequency bands.

According to Jarlath Lally, Marketing VP at 4RF, "our 128 QAM Aprisa XE brings a new and compelling option to the table. Many operators struggle to address the combined challenge of delivering increased bandwidth across their existing links. With the Aprisa XE operators can 'upgrade' while continuing to use already established site and antenna infrastructure. This is the most cost effective option".

Federal, utility, telcos and cellular operators can all benefit from the Aprisa XE's ability to support more services and applications than possible with older generation technology. Specific product variants are available for federal users relocating to the upper 1.7GHz band or for network operators looking for alternatives in the 2.1GHz AWS and 2.3GHz WCS bands.

Lally also noted "the Aprisa XE provides up to 65 Mbit/s of payload, an integrated 32 port multiplexer with cross connect, and supports legacy and Ethernet interfaces. These attributes enable rural operators build more bandwidth efficient, spectrum efficient and cost efficient networks."
