Doubling capacityFibeAir IP-20C’s multi-core technology allows it to start with a single core and provides the option to turn on the second core remotely, instantaneously doubling link capacity either with a single or dual polarization.

Doubling link distanceAsecondcorecanbeutilizedtodoublethelinkdistance.FibeAir IP-20C splits the bitstream between its cores using Multi-carrier Adaptive Bandwidth Control, thus lowering themodulation scheme and significantly increasing system gain(bothTxpowerandRxsensitivity).Thisresultsintheabilitytoachievelongerlinkspans–uptodoublethedistance.

Halving antenna sizeFibeAir IP-20C’s superior system gain can be leveraged to reduce antennasizeloweringinstallationcostssignificantly.Antennasizereductionof50%canbeachieved.
