Self-Contained, Point-to-Point Hybrid IP/ASI Microwave Radio

IMT’s Nulinx-IP Compact is a powerful self-contained point to point bi-directional microwave link, in an easy to install package that brings the high reliability and scalability of carrier grade microwave to broadcasters.  The Nulinx-IP Compact supports data rates as high as 600 Mbps in a 30 MHz Part 101 channel using a single set of antennas, and as high as 1200 Mbps using MIMO technology. It operates with as little as 75 MHz transmit/receive frequency spacing and can use traditional Part 74 (BAS) and Part 101 (Fixed Microwave Service) microwave channels. Available as an all-indoor or split system on any licensed or unlicensed band from 5.8 through 42 GHz, IMT’s Nulinx-IP Compact has the flexibility and expandability to grow with the users needs.

In addition to providing the radio hardware, IMT provides full system design and planning, and offers installation and commissioning services. As broadcasters move from ASI to IP based video transport, IMT helps you support today’s hybrid network requirements and provides a simple transition path for microwave modernization.

As auxiliary spectrum becomes more and more scarce, making maximum use of available channel space is essential. The Nulinx-IP Compact offers adaptive modulation constellations up to 2048 QAM, so more bits move in the same amount of spectrum. Adaptive modulation nearly eliminates outages when atmospheric conditions, such as heavy rain, do not support the highest data rates. Advanced Quality of Service (QoS) controls insure that essential program traffic continues to flow. Header deduplication and other built-in data compression techniques offer greater throughput in the same spectrum space.

Nulinx-IP Compact consists of a rugged outdoor unit, and a power over Ethernet (PoE) injector. Legacy ASI traffic is supported through a special transparent ASI to IP multiplexer, that requires no PID remapping. Up to four ASI streams may be transported in each direction.

IMT delivers the industry’s most cost-effective and high-capacity solutions for all backhaul and STL modernization challenges.
