Pinnacle Digital Microwave Radios
Operating at 13, 15, 18, 23, 26 & 38 GHz with Capacities of 155 Mbit/s OC-3/STM1 and Ethernet 100BaseT

Pinnacle radios are specifically designed for high capacity synchronous and IP based applications including first and last mile network access, Sonet/SDH ring closure, and cellular base station backhaul. Pinnacle radios are meeting the growing demand for more bandwidth while maintaining high spectrum efficiency.

Pinnacle
Pinnacle’s versatile design allows low-cost transmission of high-capacity data through narrow or congested spectrum. This spectral efficiency is complimented by a physical architecture that promotes rapid and cost-effective installations. Using multiple plug-in modules, the indoor unit (IDU) provides various customer signal interface(s) as well as access to the SNMP and local management ports for on-site commissioning and maintenance. The outdoor unit (ODU) consists of an RF unit directly integrated with a low-profile antenna - all connected to the IDU through a single coaxial cable. For critical paths, Pinnacle can also be configured for redundant hardware protection (1+1) using either a single or dual antenna design.
