Ceragon RF Units 1

RF Units
Ceragon's RF Units were designed with sturdiness, power, simplicity, and compatibility in mind. These advanced systems
provide high-power transmission for short and long distances and can be assembled and installed quickly and easily. In
addition, the RFUs can operate with different FibeAir

Indoor Units, depending on the desired configuration.
FibeAir RFUs (Radio Frequency Unit) delivers the maximum capacity over 7-56 MHz channels with configurable
modulation schemes from QPSK to 256QAM. The RFU supports low to high capacities for traditional voice, mission
critical and for emerging Ethernet services, with any mix of interfaces pure Ethernet, Pure TDM or hybrid Ethernet and
TDM interfaces (Native

)
High spectral efficiency is ensured using the same bandwidth for double the capacity, via a single carrier, with vertical
and horizontal polarizations. This feature is implemented by a built-in Cross Polarization Interference Canceller (XPIC)
mechanism.
Ceragon range of RFUs address any network need be it Mobile backhaul, Backbone networks, Rural Broadband or
private networks applications.
RFU-C

FibeAir

RFU-C
High Performance, small footprint 6-38 GHz Radio Frequency Unit
RFU-C is a fully software configurable, state-of-the-art RFU (Radio Frequency Unit) that supports a broad range of
interfaces and capacities from 10Mbps up to 500Mbps . This innovative and compact unit uses an on-the-fly upgrade
method, whereby network operators only buy capacity as needed, savings on initial investments and ongoing OPEX.
With RFU-C traffic capacity throughput and spectral efficiency are optimized with the desired channel bandwidth. For
maximum user choice flexibility, channel bandwidths can be selected together with a range of modulations from QPSK to
256 QAM over 7-56 MHz channels bandwidth

RFU-HP

FibeAir

RFU-HP (1500HP)
High Power 6-11 GHz Radio Frequency Unit
FibeAir RFU-HP (1500HP) is a high transmit power RFU (Radio Frequency Unit). Within its unique branching design,
RFU-HP can chain up to five carriers per single antenna port, making it ideal for Trunk or Multi Carrier applications.
Depending on customer preference, the RFU-HP can be installed in either indoor or outdoor configurations.


Ceragon RF Units 1-3
The field proven FibeAir RFU-HP was designed to enable high quality wireless communication in the most cost-effective
manner. With tens of thousands of units deployed worldwide, the FibeAir RFU-HP serves mobile operators enabling
them to reach over longer distances while enabling the use of smaller antennas.
In order to ensure the maximum flexibility and transmission efficiency, FibeAir RFU-HP includes two receivers and one
transmitter in a single transceiver unit. This design gives it a built-in Diversity capability which increases the reliability of
the link.
