5 SYSTEM PRESENTATION
5.1 GENERAL
This document contains the description of features and capability of ALFOplus2 equipment.
ALFOplus2 (see Fig.5) is a Full Outdoor microwave radio that houses, within a unique unit, two complete
TX/RX radio channels (RF Multi-core definition) to double the radio capacity and includes a complete Carrier
Ethernet features set. With 4096QAM Modulators, Ethernet Header compression, MIMO ready architecture
and 2x112MHz canalization capability, ALFOplus2 set the new standard in point to point Microwave sys-
tems.
The ALFOplus2 must be used in RAL areas (Restricted Access Location) where an equipotent bonding has
been applied. The ODU unit has a supplementary specific connector for a permanent connection to ground-
ing point intended to be installed by technical staff only.

5.2 CHARACTERISTICS
This document contains the description of features and capability of ALFOplus2 equipment.
Dual Carrier ALFOplus2 is the first SIAE MICROELETTRONICA point to point microwave device capable of
providing, in a unique solution, highest modulation schemes and software defined architecture in a highly
integrated design.
ALFOplus2 flexibility makes it suitable perfectly to all the last generation network requirements fitting per-
fectly in Macrocell Backhaul, C-RAN CPRI transport, Macro-site Aggregations scenarios.
