Cambium Networks PTP 650 NIDU

Service providers and enterprises have invested significant time and resources into dedicated T1/E1 transmission systems. Based on TDM (Time Division Multiplexing), these circuits have been very popular and effective for voice and data long distance services, dedicated private lines and last mile access, but they are expensive.

There is a demand for a more cost effective solution that can reduce the dependency on leased lines and ease the transition to all-IP networks. Wireless broadband has proven to be an economical and reliable option. The PTP 650 Network IDU (NIDU) is a hardware device which enables the passing of T1/E1 TDM circuits over PTP 650 fixed wireless broadband connections. Using the NIDU, information from existing TDM circuits is delivered reliably, meeting the precise latency and jitter requirements needed for T1/E1 traffic. The NIDU combined with the PTP 650 delivers TDM traffic today while easing the migration to all-IP networks in the future whether for enterprise applications or Macro-cell backhaul for 2G/3G traffic

Main Differentiators

• TDM TRAFFIC PRIORITY TDM traffic is always placed in the highest priority queue for delivery over the air. The system uses a combination of lossless adaptive modulation, Dynamic Spectrum Optimization™ (DSO) and optimized air interface to provide reliable link availability for TDM traffic.
• HIGHLY ACCURATE CLOCK RECOVERY The Network IDU TDM delivery solution leverages the PTP 650's highly accurate timing architecture to provide precise timing recovery for each of the 8 E1/T1 interfaces independently. This functionality enables precise latency control and low jitter from physical port to physical port.
• SIMPLE, EASY DEPLOYMENT Cambium's TDM solution is designed for rapid deployment allowing for adding and removing of TDM circuits as demand changes. The Network IDU is managed from within the PTP 650 ODU's existing web or SNMP-based interfaces. The TDM and IP traffic co-exist with PoE on a single drop cable from the PTP 650 to the NIDU.
