NEC Launches iPASOLINK EX Advanced, High Capacity Radio

NECs Ex Advanced takes a major step forward in Boosting E-Band technology
Irving, Texas August 9, 2016 NEC Corporation of America (NEC), a leading provider and
integrator of advanced IT, communications, networking and biometric solutions, today announced
the launch of the new iPASOLINK EX Advanced, an ultra-compact radio communication system
utilizing Adaptive Modulation and Bandwidth together enabling 10Gbps wireless throughput
capacity in a single channel.
This transmission capacity delivers carrier grade Ethernet functionality (H-QoS, ERPS) and is
equivalent to that of optical fibers, making the new product ideal for use in mobile backhaul
networks for high-speed mobile services, such as LTE-Advanced and 5G.
The new radio, adopting E-band millimeter wave frequency range (71-86GHz), achieves low
latency and high transmission capacity of 10Gbps within a single channel, more than three times
higher than NEC's previous iPASOLINK EX model.
The new product's Adaptive Modulation and Bandwidth Radio (AMBR) feature enables dynamic
adjustment of its modulation method and communication bandwidth according to the particular
application, weather conditions and link distance, allowing it to maintain high quality network
connections even in severe weather conditions.
The new iPASOLINK EX Advanced is approximately 30% smaller than the previous iPASOLINK
EX model, improving site acquisition and installation costs. The integrated 10GbE interfaces
allows it to efficiently transmit high capacity data via optical fiber to core networks.
"As data demands have increased, capacity has become a significant concern for network
planners who need to ensure throughput, security and availability, said Matt Engelmann, vice
president for NEC Corporation of America. These concerns apply to all transport mediums and I
am pleased to confirm our new radios like iPASOLINK Ex Advanced meet these demands and
help transport network operators deliver higher quality network services for enhanced user
experience. These enhancements are industry leading and indicative of NECs continued
investment in radio technology.

NEC representatives will be on site and available to discuss the new iPASOLINK EX Advanced at
the upcoming APCO conference in booth #427, August 14-17 at the Orange County Convention
Center in Orlando, FL.
