PPC-100/STM-1 is wireless point-to-point
link that provide mm-wave radio performance for wireless 155 mbit STM-1
connectivity. These links are available at the following mm-wave bands:
40.5 - 43.5 GHz, 57.0 - 65.0 GHz, 71-76 GHz and 81-86 GHz, and 92-95 GHz.

Applications of
Point-to-point PPC-100/STM-1 Links
The primary applications for PPC-100/STM-1
with STM-1 interface are wireless SDH / ATM rings. ELVA-1’s
PPC-100/STM-1 systems provide an STM-1 optical interface, allowing
these links to be a part of the optical SDH ring. Especially in urban
areas where it is difficult to bring optical fiber due to cable
trenching problems, PPC-100/STM-1 links make a quick and
cost-effective installation possible.
Other general purpose applications are
the following:
- Wireless full duplex connection link
for remote LAN segments at corporate and university campuses
- Wireless backhaul for GSM mobile and
WiFi base station interconnectivity
- FSO (atmospheric laser) and fiber
channel back-up
- Multipurpose Fixed Wireless
communications for any field use

PPC-100/STM-1 links are featured with
remote management and parameter monitoring capabilities. To communicate
with the link for SNMP and parameter control, there is a special twisted
pair cable patch which has to be connected to any RJ-45 socket within LAN,
deployed in the building. This allows remote SNMP management and remote
parameter monitoring of
PPC-100/STM-1 links from a central location.
The 155 Mbps point-to-point millimeter wave
radio systems are available with a choice of three different sizes of
compact parabolic Cassegrain antenna - 30 cm, 45 cm, and 60 cm. Depending
of the link frequency, these antennas deliver operating distances from
about 1.5 mile to 9.5 miles (2.5 km to 15 km) for fair weather condition.
For easy adjusting of radios to a true line
of sight, PPC-100/STM-1 link is shipped with aux electronic adjusting
unit. This unit has own 1-line display to see changes in primary
parameters of the link gain during adjustment process.
Special PPC software application is used to
detect, monitor, and configure ElvaLink terminals connected within the
same network. The PPC Main window displays status readings and parameter
values for the active PPC-100/STM-1 terminal.
