IMT’s Nulinx-IP Compact is a powerful self-contained point to point bi
-directional microwave link, in an easy to install package that brings the
high reliability and scalability of carrier grade microwave to broadcast-
ers. The Nulinx-IP Compact supports data rates as high as 600 Mbps in a
30 MHz Part 101 channel using a single set of antennas, and as high as
1200 Mbps using MIMO technology. It operates with as little as 75 MHz
transmit/receive frequency spacing and can use traditional Part 74 (BAS)
and Part 101 (Fixed Microwave Service) microwave channels. Available
as an all-indoor or split system on any licensed or unlicensed band from
5.8 through 42 GHz, IMT’s Nulinx-IP Compact has the flexibility and
expandability to grow with the users needs.
In addition to providing the radio hardware, IMT provides full system
design and planning, and offers installation and commissioning services.
As broadcasters move from ASI to IP based video transport, IMT helps
you support today’s hybrid network requirements and provides a simple
transition path for microwave modernization.
As auxiliary spectrum becomes more and more scarce, making maximum
use of available channel space is essential. The Nulinx-IP Compact offers
adaptive modulation constellations up to 2048 QAM, so more bits move
in the same amount of spectrum. Adaptive modulation nearly eliminates
outages when atmospheric conditions, such as heavy rain, do not support
the highest data rates. Advanced Quality of Service (QoS) controls insure
that essential program traffic continues to flow. Header deduplication and
other built-in data compression techniques offer greater throughput in the
same spectrum space.
Nulinx-IP Compact consists of a rugged outdoor unit, and a power over
Ethernet (PoE) injector. Legacy ASI traffic is supported through a special
transparent ASI to IP multiplexer, that requires no PID remapping. Up to
four ASI streams may be transported in each direction.
IMTs delivers the industry’s most cost-effective and high-capacity solu-
tions for all backhaul and STL modernization challenges.
