Key Features of FA4800 Chapter 1
FA4800 User Manual Release 1.9.40 1-5
Ceragon's FA4800 products can be installed in a unique multi point-to-point architec-
ture. Multiple units are deployed in one hub site location, from where they provide a
dedicated, high-capacity connection to each remote site.
This unique concept builds on Ceragon Hub Site Synchronization (HSS) feature, which
synchronizes the transmission of collocated FA4800 and FibeAir 2000 units, thus virtu-
ally reducing mutual interference commonly experienced with collocated TDD radios.
» HSS Interoperability between FibeAir 2000 and FA4800
Site Synchronization is supported with any mix of FibeAir 2000 and FA4800 links.
FibeAir 2000 can be used to backhaul FA4800 collocated links without mutual
interference
» Monitored Hot Standby (1+1):
The Ceragon Monitored Hot Standby (MHS) protects up to sixteen E1/T1 services with
FibeAir 2000 and up to four E1/T1 services with FA4800. It is designed to provide high
reliability high-capacity Point-to-Point Links. The Ceragon MHS is -
• Designed to provide redundancy and high reliability for carrier class operators
• Optimized for high capacity links operating in license-free bands
• A comprehensive solution providing protection against both equipment failure
and loss of air interface, by simple connectivity between a primary link and a sec-
ondary link
Able to use a different band for maximum protection to the air interface
The main features of the Ceragon MHS are –
• Cut-over from the primary to the secondary link completely automatic
• Cut-over time no more than 50 ms
• Automatic restore to primary link as soon as it becomes available
• FA4800 can backup a FibeAir 2000 link
A major benefit of Ceragon MHS is that is can underpin an affordable Service Level
Agreement structure by protecting part of the FibeAir 2000 trunks with FA4800.
MHS supports TDM services; Ethernet services are carried by both links independently.
» Enhanced Air Interface Security
FA4800's AES 128-bit key encryption provides enhanced air interface security.
» Advanced Management and Performance Monitoring
The FA4800 Manager software has full local and remote management capabilities.
The user-friendly SNMP based management tool provides full end to end configura-
tion, event log, and performance monitoring capabilities.
» SFP support in the IDU-C
Standard SFP modules are used, enabling any type of Ethernet physical connectivity
including various fiber connections. E3/T3 or E1/T1 over Ethernet SFPs can be used as
well.
» Separate management and traffic VLAN support
» Ethernet Ring Topology
