Ceragon Networks First to Boost Long-Haul Microwave to 1024 QAM
GovNET submits first orders for innovative Evolution Long-Haul solution
Mobile World Congress, BARCELONA, Spain, February 27, 2012/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
Ceragon Networks Ltd. [http://www.ceragon.com ] (NASDAQ: CRNT
[http://www.ceragon.com/investor_relations.asp ]), the #1 wireless backhaul specialist,
announced today that it has added 1024 QAM modulation to its Evolution IP Long-Haul
[http://www.ceragon.com/files/Ceragon_Evolution_Series_LH_feb2012_web.pdf ], making it the
first in the industry to offer this long-haul innovation. 1024 QAM is now the most
advanced modulation technology for microwave communications and boosts capacity by as much
as 25% over the widely implemented 256 QAM. Ceragon's Evolution IP Long-Haul with 1024 QAM
will be unveiled for the first time at Ceragon's booth at Mobile World Congress, Hall 1.0
- 1D01.
GovNET, a specialized telecommunications carrier, is building the world's most
advanced microwave network using a variety of advanced technology including 1024 QAM.
GovNET has chosen Ceragon's Evolution IP Long-Haul 1024 QAM solution to securely deliver
mission-critical broadband traffic for government agencies in public safety, education and
telemedicine sectors across US Western States. "We selected Ceragon because of their
ability to supply high-capacity bandwidth in an aggressive timeframe. Their advanced
technology and experience in deploying large projects made them a natural microwave
partner for our rapidly-growing network," said Patrick Barringer, CEO at GovNET Inc.
"Microwave capacity requirements continue to increase unabated," explained Eyal Assa,
EVP and General Manager of Ceragon Networks' Long-Haul Solutions Group. "We are committed
long-term to developing innovative solutions, like 1024 QAM, to help our customers stay at
the forefront of technology. This is another technology leap with an easy-to-implement
capacity boost for microwave applications."
Ceragon supports 9 levels of modulation ensuring a robust and reliable solution for
any network and capacity needs, under any weather conditions. QAM is used extensively as a
modulation scheme for digital telecommunications. It conveys data by changing aspects of
the carrier signal. QAM modulation techniques carry information in both the amplitude and
phase of the waveform in a single carrier.
