Native2 Microwave Radio Technology

At the heart of the IP-10 solution is Ceragon's market-leading Native 2 microwave

technology.
With this technology, the microwave carrier supports native IP/Ethernet traffic together with
optional native PDH.
Neither traffic type is mapped over the other, while both dynamically share the same overall
bandwidth.
This unique approach allows you to plan and build optimal all-IP or hybrid TDM-IP backhaul
networks which make it ideal for any RAN (Radio Access Network)

In addition, Native2 ensures:

Very low link latency of <0.15 msecs @ 400 Mbps.
Very low overhead mapping for both ETH & TDM traffic
High precision native TDM synchronization distribution

Dust and weather proof

Compact size reduces the cost of leasing or
purchasing rack space.
Ideal for Greenfield areas, at solar-powered sites,
and at repeater sites adjacent to highways.
One-man installation and shorter cabling reduce
installation costs.
Environment-friendly: Greener deployments, saving
on power and air-conditioning costs.
