Operating on the 5 GHz unlicensed spectrum, one RTN 5100 at a central site can handle up to two 1-Gbps channels and accommodate up to 128 remote sites. It supports networking modes like PtMP, PtP, and multi-hop relay, adding extra flexibility for access and backhaul of 4K ultra-HD video and broadband services across massive numbers of sites.
RTN 5100 operates in time division multiple access (TDMA) mode to enable access from multiple sites without mutual interference or conflict. It uses high-strength encryption algorithms, including AES256, over the air interface to enhance security, while utilizing redundant link backup to boost network resilience and ensure secure and reliable data transmission.
Jason Wang, President of Huawei Microwave Product Line, said, "The new unlicensed 5 GHz PtMP microwave solution is a key member of Huawei's agile, simplified, and resilient family of solutions geared toward enterprises. We will continue to dive deep into industries by providing all-scenario PtP and PtMP microwave solutions based on both licensed and unlicensed spectrum to help build a more efficient private-network foundation for industry users."
