MegaStar®155 PX

MegaStar 155 PX is a high-capacity synchronous digital microwave radio for OC-3 or STM-1 transport. It operates in the 5, 6, 7, 8 and 11 GHz bands, interoperating with standard SONET/SDH multiplexers and ATM switches. MegaStar 155 PX features a wide selection of antenna coupling unit (ACU) arrangements that accommodate both standard and non-standard channelization plans. The radio offers built-in performance recording with associated charting and analysis software, co-channel dual-polarized (CCDP) operation and anticipatory errorless switching in either of two compact, easily expandable configurations—1+1 hot standby or 0:N/1:N multi-line.

Key features

  • Competitive, comprehensive feature set for a backbone transport SONET/SDH digital radio
  • Full 0:8/1:7 capabilities in all of the 5, 6, 7, 8, 11 GHz frequency bands
  • Conformance with ITU, ETSI, CEPT, FCC, ANSI, CITEL, MII/SRRC and other international and North American standards
  • Wide selection of antenna coupling unit (ACU) configurations that accommodate both standard and non-standard channelization plans
  • Co-channel dual polarized (CCDP) operation and anticipatory errorless switching enable frequency reuse
  • Built-in performance recording with powerful optional Paperless Chart Recorder (PCR) charting and analysis software
  • Optional dual receivers and IF combining, providing robust and responsive diversity protection against multipath propagation outages
  • Interoperates with all standard multiplexer electrical and optical interfaces and can be adapted to non-standard and special applications and protocols, such as networks with encryption
  • FarScan™ element manager standard feature, compatible with all installed Harris microwave and adaptable to manage third party equipment
  • Optional NetBoss® network management system
  • SNMP proxy supports Open Network Management

Operational benefits

  • Easy to deploy into existing network infrastructures
  • Flexibly extends trunk communications across ring, linear or mesh network topologies
  • Capacity can be conveniently expanded with modular plug-in components from 1 to 7 OC-3/STM-1 high-capacity channels (155 Mbps each)
  • Very high reliability due to sound design and Harris Stratex Networks microwave experience
  • Convenient automated provisioning with remote software download
  • Remote inventory facility
  • Easy plug-and-play module replacement

Strategic benefits

  • Ideal solution for cellular/mobile, telephone/common carrier, private right-of-way, public safety and government operators worldwide
  • Dramatically reduces cost of ownership—through higher reliability, rapid deployment and easier operation and maintenance
  • Reduces operating costs—through high MTBF, lower cost of spares, easier integration into existing networks via SNMP, and highly stable operation due to intelligent equalizers and compensation functions
  • Shortens time to revenue—through easier network startup, auto-provisioning, self-calibrating functions and simplified reconfigurations and capacity upgrades
  • Protects your current investment—through compatibility with current Harris and industry-standard management systems
