Solutions Overview
Fixed point-to-point Wireless Ethernet Bridges:
Currently, there are several families of products within the Fixed Point-to-Point (PTP) bridge offerings:
• PTP 100 Series (formerly the Canopy
®
10 and 20 Mbps Backhaul Modules)
• PTP 200 Series
• PTP 300 Series
• PTP 400 Series
• PTP 500 Series
• PTP 600 Series
All PTP radios, except the PTP 100 Series, are available in two versions: Integrated and Connectorized.
The Integrated systems have built-in antennas, while the Connectorized versions offer the gain advantage
of external antennas. In extremely adverse environments, Connectorized solutions enable connections over
greater distances with a higher level of reliability and speed than many comparable solutions.
PTP 100 and PTP 200 systems are based on the same technology as the Canopy
®
PMP systems. The only
difference is that the PTP 100 and 200 Series systems are configured as point-to-point solutions, rather than
point-to-multipoint. The PTP 100 Series products provide line-of-sight (LOS) connectivity, while the PTP 200
OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) products provide LOS and near-line-of-sight (nLOS)
connectivity.
PTP 300, 400, 500 and 600 Series systems use a unique combination of innovative technologies that
earned Motorola the market leadership in the global unlicensed Ethernet market. It’s these Orthogon-legacy
technologies working together that enable the PTP 300, 400, 500 and 600 bridges to deliver exceptional
range, capacity, reliability and performance – especially over water and long distances, in non-line-of-sight
(NLoS) or near-line-of-sight (nLos) conditions, and in areas where there is significant radio-frequency (RF)
interference such as a city. This unique technology combination includes:
• Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO)
•
Intelligent
Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (

• Advanced Spectrum Management with

• Adaptive Modulation
• Inherent Spatial Diversity
• Best-in-class radios with the highest system gain in their class
Accessories:
In addition to its point-to-point radios, Motorola offers the following accessory items for use with PTP 300,
400, 500 and 600 bridges:
•
point-to-point Lightning protection Unit (pTp-LpU):
The cost-effective PTP-LPU is designed to
shield PTP 300, 400, 500 and 600 radios from sudden power surges induced by electromagnetic
activity (lightning). Motorola strongly recommends including PTP-LPUs as an integral part of a
PTP 300, 400, 500 or 600 Series link. While purchasing the Motorola PTP Link Guard All Risk
Extended Warranty will cover the cost of replacing a radio damaged by lightning, deploying lightning
protection initially will help the operator avoid the delays and costs associated with taking down
damaged radios and installing replacement units. When correctly installed, the Motorola PTP-LPU
gives a PTP 300, 400, 500 or 600 radio the best protection from the harmful effects of lightning.
However, 100% protection is neither implied nor possible.
•
GpS Synchronization Unit:
Motorola partners with Memorylink to deploy the Memorylink
UltraSync™ GPS-100M Synchronization Unit. The UltraSync GPS-100M generates a precise timing
reference signal that is used by the PTP 600 radios as the timing reference for the PTP 600’s TDD
Synchronization functionality. A Memorylink UltraSync GPS-100M is required for each TDD-enabled
PTP 600 link.
