MicroStaff~ M/H is a family of point-to-point digital PDH
(Plesiochronous Digital Hierarchy) microwave radios
designed for rapid, easy deployment of short,
medium, and long links. A wide range of frequency
bands and protection configurations are available for
voice and data applications.
Based on a common platform architecture incorporat-
ing the most reliable design in the industry, MicroStar~
M/H has features ideally suited for cellular networks,
personal communications networks, and global
private or public communications systems.
For short link applications, at frequencies from 15
GHz to 18 GHz, the MicroStar® M/H offers an integrated
RF unit and a choice of parabolic antenna
configurations. Compact, lightweight, and very easy to
install, the rectangular form factor and small size
Outdoor Unit (ODU) lends itself to high-density urban
applications where site locations are at a premium.
With proven superior specifications and interference
rejection, frequency re-use and network planning are
simplified with the MicroStar® M/H.
The Outdoor Units are capacity independent while the
Indoor Units are frequency independent which reduce
equipment sparing needs. In addition, the embedded
software within the radio is also common
simplifying operation, configuration,
maintenance1 and training
requirements.
