Do all of these offer >1Gbps on a single optical interface, or do they require 
external LAG?

I also believe the Dragonwave Radio is actually a full 80Mhz channel based on 
the throughput..

For instance, the Bridgewave/Remec Navigator 80Mhz/2048QAM radio is 1248 Mbps 
vs 1252 Mbps from the Dragonwave vs 1370 for the Aviat..

@Tim.. 

 

WTM platform may not support 80Mhz channel in 18Ghz, you may be stuck with 50 
Mhz according to the technical datasheet:

 





So, reviewing… The delta between 64Mhz and 80Mhz is not that high.. ~118 Mbps 
or around 9% which is interesting given the 25% more theoretical BW.

 

Aviat 50 Mhz/2048QAM = 850 Mbps

Aviat 80Mhz/2048QAM = 1370 Mbps 

DW 64 Mhz/2048 QAM  = 1252 Mbps

Just an FYI..

According to this chart, the occupied bandwidth is only 64.5 MHz so you will be 
losing capacity vs radios that occupy the full 80 MHz bandwidth.  The DW radio 
will have to be coordinated and licensed in one of the 80 MHz channel 
allocations as there are no FCC channel plans between 51 MHz and 79 MHz.  There 
are only 4-channel pairs available at 80 MHz and its difficult to coordinate 
multiple pairs in many areas as a result.  Finally, while these power levels 
are impressive, they don't tell the full story and you really need to compare 
the system gain values at the desired modulations.  The DW 64.5 MHz radio’s 
system gain at 2048 QAM is 83 dB vs. the WTM 4100 80 MHz  radio’s system gain 
at 2048 QAM which will be 73.5 dB.

+31 is the advertised 2048QAM output on the HP variant. Dragonwave contacted me 
offline and is indicating a March availability. Here is the table of power 
output levels for that radio. It should also support 4096QAM, but I’m not sure 
if that’s available in the software yet.

Looks like PTP820c is only +16.

 

You’re talking about xmt power actually at 2048QAM modulation, right?  +31 is 
hard to believe.

 

I remember hearing that Broadcom was supposed to have a chip with adaptive 
digital predistortion for high xmt power also 4096QAM not sure if that became 
real.

Dragonwave announced over a year ago the Harmony Enhanced 18HP, with +31 TX 
power at 2048 QAM, but have never made it to production as far as I know. From 
the top of my head, here are some of the major radios TX power in 18 Ghz band:

 

Dragonwave Harmony Enahcend HP – 31 <Vaporware?>

Dragonwave Harmony Enhanced SP – 22

Bridgewave Navigator – 19

Aviat WTM 4200 – 17.5

SIAE AlfoPlus2 – 17

 

Curious if anyone is aware of an 18Ghz dual core radio capable of higher TX 
power at 2048QAM? It’s quite difficult to license 6Ghz or 11Ghz paths in my 
market.
