ALFOPlus2XG 18GHz Outdoor Link, 300 Mbps full-duplex capacity, software upgradeable to 1500 Mbps, Sub-Band 1 (17700-18140MHz / 1

ALFOplus2 - The RF Multicore solution

ALFOplus2 is the next generation 2/4 Gbps full outdoor solution providing best TCO by boosting capacity and availability of the network and simplifies installation with fully integrated branching and zero indoor footprint.

Thanks to its unmatched spectrum efficiency and larger channel selection (1x 14 MHz up to 2x 112 MHz channels), ALFOplus2 offers the highest capacity and channel flexibility, with no restriction in channel allocations either adjacent or co-polar with best in class system gain.

With integrated XPIC capability, and using 34% less power consumption, ALFOPlus2 provides future proof architecture while quadrupling the throughput, achieving better link availability and reducing the antenna size, than two single carrier radios.

Coupled with ALFOplus80HDX, operators can deploy a full outdoor multicarrier aggregation over single antenna solution boosting capacity and distances.

Universal Product Architecture

Microwave radio products evolved in terms of functionalities and physical mechanical arrangements to cover in an effective and efficient way all the different applications.
