The EX-5i lite tri-band wireless backhaul radio from Exalt offers the unparalleled carrier-class features, performance, and expandability of the EX-5i for applications requiring less than 4xT1/E1 or sub-100Mbps Ethernet/IP starting capacity.

The EX-5i lite provides the highest level of flexibility and expandability in a software-defined, carrier class system with high spectral efficiency, security, and unprecedented spectrum management flexibility.  This new breed of tri-band, indoor 5 GHz radio operates in the 5.25-5.35 GHz, 5.47-5.725 GHz, and 5.725-5.850 GHz bands and provides 2xT1/E1 +13Mbps Ethernet with unique expandability to 4xT1/E1 and 200Mbps user throughput capacity to accommodate emerging services and network expansion strategies world-wide. In addition, features such as SNMPv3 management, AES 128/256 encryption, collocation, VLAN, and spectrum analyzer make the EX-5i lite an unparalleled value.

Exalt’s breakthrough spectrum-management technology provides up to 54 non-overlapping frequency channels, with 1 MHz fine tuning capability across the three 5GHz bands. This results in as many as 415 center frequencies of operation to choose from without new hardware or system re-tuning. As an additional interference countermeasure, the EX-5i lite provides 8, 16, 32, and 64 MHz channel bandwidth to help maximize band usability and throughput.  And, ExaltSync™ provides unmatched synchronization capability for high-density collocation and spectrum reuse.

The EX-5i lite supports TDM to IP service migration strategies and provides a smooth and cost-effective upgrade path to higher T1/E1 capacities and Ethernet services. All this, while providing highest value and lowest cost per megabit-mile in the market today!
