Native TDM and Native Ethernet
11+54.92.4
Feature Benefit
NativeTDM
> Available channel bandwidth carries user traffic – not overhead – thus conserving spectrum
> When T1/E1 ports are added, TDM throughput is traded bit-for-
bit for Ethernet throughput and vice versa, so rated throughputalways equals user-available throughput
> Delivers low and consistent latency performance regardless of
IP traffic behavior, including bursts
> Ensures TDM timing is maintained and delay is minimized inmulti-hop connections
NativeEthernet
> Zero latency introduction ensures the highest performance IPtransport over the radio link
VariableAllocation
> Protects value of investment by supporting both current andfuture traffic allocation splits between TDM and Ethernet

miles in upstate New York. In addition to the T1 for PBX extension, they desired additional
Ethernet capacity for new applications.
SolutionExalt Communications EX-2.4i
ResultsExalt radios were installed without upgrading existing antenna system in 4 hours. Achieved
200 Mbps capacity across this 19 mile link. More than 16X the throughput achieved by
the original system. In addition, a second 100Mbps link was collocated using
synchronization. Fine frequency tuning in Exalt radio also allowed collocation with FDD
radio operating at 2.4GHz on same tower.
Why Exalt?200Mbps capacity @ 2.4GHz + 4XT1 link replaced a 2XT1 radio system with no native
Ethernet capacity. Synchronization capabilities allowed for two collocated links. Simplicity -
Easy installation. Reused antenna system from original link.

South Texas Electric Cooperative
Business Description The South Texas Electric Cooperative (STEC) serves eight distribution cooperatives and
150,000 members across 33 counties in South Texas.
Technical Need STEC has been rapidly expanding their distribution network and adding more SCADA and
Ethernet traffic to their communications infrastructure. They needed a solution that could
augment the capacity of their 6GHz licensed DS3 backhaul links without costly infrastructure
upgrades or downtime.
SolutionExalt Communications EX-5i-16 wireless backhaul radio with Exalt 6GHz capacity expansion kit.
ResultsIn less than 5 minutes, the capacity of the legacy 6GHz link was expanded from DS3-only toDS3, 100Mbps Ethernet, and up to 16xT1. The unlicensed solution performs flawlessly even
when link conditions cause the space-diversity licensed radio to have outages. STEC is now
able to leverage their existing infrastructure and extend their IP services and applications across
licensed 6GHz links without costly overhauls.
Why Exalt?TDM and Ethernet capacity, variable bandwidth, interference rejection, RF performance, and
6GHz capacity expansion kit.
