Maximized capacity wireless point to point backhaul 2.4, 5.4, 5.8 GHz Unlicensed and 4.9Ghz Licensed bands

​

The proliferation of IP devices and applications have resulted in a backhaul bottleneck, where the channel size required to carry data efficiently exceeds the network's capacity. The MDS Intrepid™ and Intrepid Ultra combats this challenge by providing higher capacity (25 Mbps to 200 Mbps), reduced interference, Quality of Service (QoS) and simple deployment options.

Application Flexibility

​

Indoor Unit / Outdoor Units
The Intrepid is offered as a split mount system consisting of an Indoor Unit (IDU) which contains interfaces and protocol firmware support, and an Outdoor Unit (ODU) which contains the RF and frequency-specific firmware. The ODU may be purchased with an integrated antenna or with external antenna connections.

The IDU is offered in an industrial-grade enclosure or a more cost effective standard enclosure. Alternatively, a Power over Ethernet (PoE) IEEE 802.3AF option is available.

Configurable
Both Intrepid and Intrepid Ultra can be configured as (1+0), (1+1), hot standby, space diversity and ring protection functionality. Intrepid is built using MIMO smart antenna technology which offers significant increases in data throughput and link range without additional channel size or transmit power.

 

Reduced Interference
The Intrepid Series has built-in interference combating technology to keep the over-the-air signal clear and strong, including Adaptive Coding and Modulation and Automatic Repeat Request. This, along with advanced Forward Error Correction for low overhead, minimizes the latency and the error rate, and is especially important for delay sensitive applications like Voice over IP.

Flexible Deployment
Both Intrepid and Intrepid Ultra can be used as a single point-to-point link from a central site using Hub Site Synchronization which synchronizes the transmission of collocated radios, reducing mutual interference. The Intrepid Series supports multiple frequency bands with the same hardware, making it easy to change frequency in the field without any new hardware. Frequency bands can easily be changed using the Link Manager, an easy, intuitive management and diagnostic tool.
