5.3 APPLICATIONS
ALFOplus2 is the ideal solution in urban environments for all carrier-class applications in which the typical
requirements are Ethernet connections:
• full IP radio, providing the foundation for a leading edge network
• fully integrable with 3G, 4G, LTE nodes and backhaul
• ideal for a fast and flexible evolution towards full IP network
• complementary solutions for fiber deploy
• last mile fiber extension for business customers
• ISP high capacity and performance, for LAN-to-LAN connections
• emergency wireless links
• zero footprint applications
ALFOplus2 doesn’t need any indoor unit and the power supply can be provided directly by POE through the
data cable or through a dedicated auxiliary port.
5.3.1 ALFOplus2 connectivity
ALFOplus2 offers 4xGbE traffic ports (see Fig.6):
• 2xGbE Electrical ports (1Gbps line rate): LAN3 and LAN4 (with PoE)
• 2xGbE Optical interfaces (1Gbps or 2.5Gbps line rate): LAN1 and LAN2.
Interconnection ports are present for communication between two ALFOplus2 when 2+2/4+0 configura-
tions are implemented.
Auxiliary connectors are in place for Direct Power supply feeder, Local Access and RSSI indication.
In case of protected configurations one traffic port is used as signaling interconnection interface.

5.3.2 Universal product line architecture and single SM-OS
The increased number of application segments demands for a spread of microwave technologies in order
to address each of the segments in an effective and efficient way.
This scenario brings to a higher complexity in microwave portfolio challenging for the consistency of the
overall network solution and streamlined roadmap.
