Critical Infrastructure Applications

> Video Surveillance- Water Utility reservoirs and sensitive areas- Electric Utility Generation plants and Substations- Pipelines- Petro Chemical plants- Traffic Intersections and Rail Crossings- Schools- Borders

> Redundancy for Fiber and leased line backup> Two-way Radio backhaul to Dispatch> Interconnectivity between fire and Police Stations> SCADA Backhaul> Military Communications

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..

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

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.
