THE EMERGENCE OF E-BAND

• 10 GHz of spectrum available in the 71-76 and 81-86 GHz range

• Wide channels (up to 2000 MHz) means high capacity
• Light licensing regime – easy and lower fees than microwave bands

• But, E-Band comes with a few challenges …

• Limited reach – maximum link distances only up to 2 or 3 km, or less
• Risk of outage – high precipitation can take down a link for an extended period
• Difficult to align antennas – raises installation complexity and costs
• Susceptible to pole sway, due to narrow antenna beam-width – more outage risk

E-Band alone is not sufficient for critical backhaul links

WHAT IS MULTI-BAND?
COMBINES THE BEST OF TWO TECHNOLOGIES

WHY CONSIDER MULTI-BAND?

• Multi-Band realizes the capacity benefits of E-Band, but solves all of

the shortcomings, by seamlessly combining it with traditional
microwave (15/18/23GHz) on a single link, over single antenna
• You can extend the reach of your E-Band links up to 10 km,
depending on the location and rain zone
• Your most important traffic is now immune to outages due to rain and
pole sway - 99.999% availability, up to 2.5 Gbps with hours of
additional uptime
• Simplifies antenna alignment – same as for a regular microwave link
• Multi-band can even make sense to deploy instead of 15/18/23GHz
microwave 10-20x more capacity, but with the same availability for
critical traffic

Multi-Band delivers more CAPACITY and AVAILABILITY than E-Band alone

With Aviat’s Cloud Design App

• Single Multi-Band link design showing
combined view of availability and capacity for
the link
• Easy, fast, intuitive E-Band and Multi-Band
designs (all specs included, no PL files to
download or update, easy cloud access).
• All other solutions (Pathloss, etc) require
separate link calculations for Multi-Band, and
do not give a combined result for the link,
making it virtually impossible to understand
the expected link performance, capacity or
estimate the proper antenna size.
