Considerations for Critical Infrastructure Backhaul
> Native TDM and Ethernet connectivity> All-Indoor radios AES Encryption> 4.9GHz First Responders band> 4.5GHz Federal Band> Licensed Bands = security> Products made in the US> 1+1 Hot Standby> GigE speeds for fiber backup> Vendor with strong financial footing> Warranty-minimum 2 years> Support of products in the US> Hardened devices- Temp, EMI, etc..

Exalt – Ahead of the Curve Again!
FCC approves 80 MHz channelsat 11 GHz!
Double the backhaul capacity for the
same CAPEX!
Available TODAY only from Exalt.

See the Difference in Maximum Data Throughput
Exalt ExploreAir® and ExtremeAir® systems provide twicethe single-carrier capacity achievable before the ruling –
without the need to buy additional hardware.
ExploreAir, ExploreAir LR, ExploreAir HP, and ExtremeAir radios support the 80 MHz channels now available in the 11 GHz frequency band
ExploreAir LR, also supports the 60 MHz channels now available in the 6 GHz Lower band
*Throughput based on theoretical maximum over the air data rates.

6GHz Capacity Expansion with 5GHz
> Provides connectivity to 6 GHz Part 101 licensed radios allowing instant DS3, Ethernet and T1 capacity upgrades using Exalt 5 GHz tri-band systems
> Systems only use 1 to 1.5 rack spaces > Does not require licensing> Can usually be installed in less than 1 hour per end> Provides maximum flexibility > Provides less than 1dB impact to existing licensed
radio> Costs much less than other alternatives

Customer Case StudyCity of Garland, Texas
Garland, Texas is home to more than 200,000 residents. The City’s network links 30-plus
facilities, and supports computer-aided police/fire dispatch systems, public safety radio traffic, VoIP
systems and office productivity applications.
Challenges Replace T1 lines to eliminate recurring
monthly charges Rapidly increase network capacity for
critical applications Minimize network latency for public
safety radio and VoIP applications Solutions
Deploy Exalt all-indoor 11 GHz and5 GHz microwave radio systems
Configure Exalt radio systems to deliver 27 Mbps of Ethernet, upgradeable via software license keys to 100 Mbps
Use Exalt native TDM to minimize latency for delay-sensitive applications
“If we want more bandwidth it’s just a license upgrade with Exalt. With a lot ofthe other vendors’ systems, you’re stuck – if you want more bandwidth you have to replace the whole radio.”
Jonathan MorganCity of Garland, Texas

Customer Case StudySouth Texas Electric Cooperative (STEC)
Challenges Increase IP and T1 capacity with the ability to
scale higher Eliminate truck rolls for configuration and
frequency band selection Ensure complete reliability
Solution Exalt all-indoor microwave backhaul systems
delivering 16 T1 lines and 200 Mbps Ethernet Exalt SNMPv3 web-based management
system for remote configuration Exalt managed failover feature eliminates
risk of outages
“We had deployed Exalt backhaul radios at other sites, and we consider Exalt to be a leader in the wireless backhaul industry because of some of their technical capabilities and other features.”
Warren BuckhornCommunications TechnicianSouth Texas Electric
Cooperative
STEC, headquartered in Nursery, Texas provides wholesale electrical power to eight
member cooperatives serving more than 150,000 members in 33 South Texas counties. STEC generates power from a variety of fuels, including natural gas, diesel and hydro-electric.
