SAF Unveils Next-Gen Microwave Radio System
SAF Tehnika (Booth 713) has launched
the second generation of its best-selling
microwave radio system, the Integra.
The SAF Integra-series next-generation
microwave radio platform combines the radio,
modem interfaces and mounting brackets into
a single unit, making it cost-efficient and easy-
to-install.
The radio can be purchased in three different
versions:
• As a single radio unit that is compatible with
any manufacturer’s antenna systems;
• Radio + integrated antenna that is made from
innovative, corrosion-resistant materials;
• And as a dedicated solution for wideband
applications.
Integra-series radios have a capacity of up to
1Gbps throughput with header compression in
1+0 configuration. The latest modem technology
also enables the covering of longer distances due
to better system gain at 256QAM, and hitless ACM
switching up to 2048QAM. The bandwidth range
goes from 3.5MHz up to 112MHz, making the
product fit for a variety of applications – from last-
mile to backbone connectivity.
With optional ETSI Class 4 antennas, Integra
can effectively be deployed in a dense microwave
environment. And, direct radio and antenna
integration (Integra-G) saves the time usually
spent on radio-to-antenna assembly and sealing.
All Integra products are made from an
innovative EMC-compliant composite material,
ensuring complete corrosion resistance
surpassing that of the classic microwave
antennas. The mounting bracket is optimized
for wind-load reduction too, which keeps the
radio link up even in rugged weather. And, a
significant addition is the software-controlled
LED, which indicates whether the radio has
been synchronized with the remote end and is
operating properly.
Meanwhile, a built-in multi-core network
packet processor enables Carrier Ethernet
performance with features like synchronous
Ethernet, header compression and RADIUS
authentication. Three Gigabit Ethernet ports
per radio also allow the use of the built-in high
performance Gigabit switch in all-outdoor
environment, eliminating additional cost from
expensive rack-mount switches and facilitating
shelter-free installations. o

Micronet Updates E-Band
Registration Options
Micronet Communications (Booth 204) has
upgraded its E-Band registration system.
The 70/80 GHz E-Band is a high-
frequency, very high-capacity (up to 10Gbps)
band used for short- to medium-range fixed
wireless backhaul. The FCC uses a lightly licensed
approached for this service, where the license
holder obtains a nationwide license and then
registers individual links with third-party database
managers. Micronet is one of the original
managers.
The upgrade now gives users a range of
new functions, including: Advanced frequency
selection; Google Earth site verification of
coordinates, elevation, antenna height and
building blockage of interference paths; and line of
site (LoS) verification.
To register or apply for a nationwide license, users
