NetAxis is a native Ethernet wireless backhaul platform employing
state-of-the-art MW packet technology, providing superior deployment
flexibility for the most demanding backhaul network applications. It
achieves traffic throughputs of up to 400 Mbps over a single link (or
up to 800 Mbps with XPIC) with channelization up to 56 MHz. Higher
capacities can be achieved by the use of extra outdoor units on the
same IDU.

NetAxis incorporates statistical multiplexing for best optimization of
the available link capacity, advanced Radio Link Aggregation (RLA) and
hitless adaptive modulation – 4QAM up to 256QAM – for increased
service availability in all weather conditions.

Network configurations are flexible, ranging from single links to nodal implementations for traffic aggregation sites. Backhaul of legacy services is carried out seamlessly through Pseudo-Wire Emulation functionality, with low end-to-end latency, and through the utilization of E1, STM-1 (VC-12/4), and Gigabit Ethernet network interfaces.

With regards to protection capabilities, NetAxis provides various redundancy options (ODU, modem, Gigabit Ethernet), also allowing the implementation of Ethernet protected rings, as per ITU-T G.8032, of assured low recovery switching time (less than 50 ms).

The NetAxis efficient timing capabilities include traditional G.703-based synchronization, Adaptive Clock Recovery (ACR) and Ethernet synchronization based on Synchronous Ethernet and IEEE 1588v2 (transparent) standards.

Configuration

The NetAxis platform is offered in split
indoor/outdoor configuration and comprises:

The Outdoor Unit

Complete family of outdoor radios (ODUs) covering a
wide range of operating frequencies: 6 / 7 / 8 / 11 / 13
/ 15 / 18 / 23 / 26 / 38 GHz Antennas, integrated with
the ODUs, or standalone.

The Indoor Units

NetAxis IDU2 is the cost-optimized IDU for tail links
requiring up to two radios, whereas NetAxis IDU4 is
more appropriate for nodal sites of up to four radios.

IDU2

NetAxis IDU2 is a compact variant accommodating
up to two modems instead of four. This device is
flexible enough to be used at the edge of the
network, as a repeater node and even as a ring node.

IDU4

NetAxis DU4 combines
industry-leading modem density, up to four modems,
for system configuration agility (1+0 / 1+1 / 2+0 / 2+2
/ 3+0 / 4+0, FD / SD / HSB) and flexible network
deployments.
NetAxis IDU4 also constitutes the ideal solution for
excessive throughput requirements, as it supports
NetAxis IDU4 protected (1+1) XPIC nodes in 1RU.

Managing NetAxis Networks

The NetAxis NMS Unified Management Suite is a state-of-the-art solution for deploying, supervising and
managing contemporary telecommunication networks.

It is a carrier-class Element, Network and Service management platform for all Netronics wireless products (access, transmission and aggregation). Upon request, third-party products can also be managed through easy integration.
The mediation with the managed elements of the network is implemented through add-on drivers, for applying management functions, such as configuration changes, performance counters collection, alarms (traps) collection, service provisioning, inventory collection, and others.

NetAxis NMS provides convergent service provisioning capabilities addressing the need for automated service provisioning across multi-vendor networks and diverse IT environments

End-to-End Network Management

NetAxis NMS enables end-to-end management – network deployment, provisioning, real-time monitoring,
testing – all through powerful embedded tools:

“Just define the two end-points to connect” – simple end-to-end connection setup through user-friendly wizards that automatically create all necessary intermediate cross connections.

Reliable performance & fault management – NetAxis NMS automatically monitors availability, reduces alarms, correlates events and collects real-time and historical performance counters to be presented in powerful graphs.

Key Management Characteristics

Common management platform for all technology domains and associated services (WiMAX, Wireless transmission, xDSL, etc.)
Simplified end-to-end provisioning – service agnostic workflow (BPEL) and a design environment, for realizing rapid service provisioning
Sub-network Connections Management – circuits creation with powerful wizards, alarm correlation and impact analysis
High system availability (24x7) and fault-tolerant operation through Server redundancy
Advanced security features – hardened operating system ensures compliance to strict NOC security guidelines with fine-grained users, roles & privileges
Standardized northbound interfaces for easy integration with third-party systems
