DIGITAL RADIO RELAY

For more than thirty years now, SAGEM’s expertise has been behind the implementation of digital radio relay networks in over 80 countries around the world and under a wide variety of local climatic and topological site conditions. SAGEM’s full range of possibilities covers all the frequency bands from 7 GHz to 38 GHz and bit rates up to 16 x 2 Mbit/s, in a variety of network configurations :

! cellular networks, for base station-to-base station controller interconnections ;

! access networks, for simple, low-cost subscriber connections in rural or urban areas ;

! private networks, for implementation and interconnection of business networks and development of the transmission infrastructure of public utility services (electricity companies, railways and highways, etc.)

SNMP network management system

SAGEM-LINK F offers SNMP interfaces for the connection to a centralized Network Manage- ment System. SAGEM LINK F can be managed by IONOS NMS or by any other external NMS. IONOS NMS is the SAGEM’s solution to manage all transmission equipment (optical, copper and radio).

1+1 PROTECTION Fig. 2.2 : SAGEM-LINK F in 1+1 configuration

Economic protection solution

The 1+1 configuration is realised with 2 ODU per terminal and a single IDU equipped of 2 Cable Interface Module. All the transmission functions are duplicated with the exception of the tributary multiplexer. This architecture offers many advantages:

! The 1+0 and 1+1 Indoor Units racks are identical. This allows a significant saving on space and a reduction in the basic cost of the 1+1 configuration.

! Hitless protection switching is provided for all tributary signals and auxiliary communications channels.

! Only one network management interface is used, with the 1+1 terminal being managed as a single network element, and not as two independent network elements.

Analysis of the radio spectrum around the receive channel

The SAGEM-LINK PILOT software can offer the function of radio spectrum analysis around the receive channel. This function is only available upon installation or when carrying out maintenance operations. Unlike the margin measurement function, the spectrum analysis can only be carried out in a single link direction at once (from the terminal of the observing receiver). Analysis consists in scanning the receiver frequency in a frequency band specified by the user. The software then displays a diagram indicating the received signal level (RSL) for each frequency. Analysis progresses in steps of 7 MHz .
