Next-generation all-outdoor packet microwave system lowers cost per bit, leads industry in spectral efficiency and allows zero footprint installations

To offset the cost and capacity challenges created by today’s high-bandwidth 3G applications and the accelerating rollout of 4G, mobile operators must find ways to increase overall system capacity. DragonWave Inc.’s (TSX: DWI / NASDAQ: DRWI) introduction of Horizon Compact+ provides operators with a key tool to address lifecycle cost in three critical areas: Spectrum utilization, capacity and location leasing costs.

As the first all-outdoor system to incorporate XPIC (Cross Polarization Interference Cancellation) technology, Horizon Compact+ also becomes the first to take advantage of XPIC’s spectrum-doubling capability. Building on the capacity increases from DragonWave’s previously announced Bandwidth Accelerator technology, this spectrum-doubling capability increases the data bandwidth of Horizon Compact+ to as high as 2 Gbps.

Cost containment is another Horizon Compact+ benefit. “Leasing costs are a more

DragonWave Horizon Harmony enables a seamless transition from TDM, ATM and Frame Relay traffic to a converged packet network

The impact of smartphones, Internet appliances and 4G are combining to speed up the evolution away from legacy backhaul solutions and toward high capacity packet microwave systems. With its Horizon® Harmony platform, DragonWave Inc. (TSX: DWI; NASDAQ: DRWI) is delivering a converged, software upgradable system that will transform what could have been an expensive, problem-prone transition to all-Ethernet transport into a competitive advantage for mobile operators.

DragonWave, a leading global supplier of packet microwave radio systems for mobile and access networks, has integrated pseudowire and packet microwave technologies together into a single packet-based, high-capacity system. Horizon Harmony completely bypasses the shortcomings of “hybrid” systems that have been optimized for legacy traffic and services and therefore do not offer a clear evolutionary path to a unified flat-IP network.
