Sophia-Antipolis and Barcelona, February 27th, 2012 – 3Roam, the innovator in high-capacity wireless backhaul announces today AERO® Duo, its 1024QAM Operators solution for a smooth migration to packet backhaul.

As the amount of data continues to surge through cellular networks, controlling spectrum costs becomes an absolute necessity. Thanks to its advanced 1024QAM modem, AERO Duo squeezes more traffic than competitive products into a given radio channel, enabling up to 30% savings in frequency rental costs.

AERO Duo solves today’s capacity bottleneck issues while providing a future-ready option for further backhaul evolutions: thanks to its advanced modem, using software defined radio technology, AERO Duo can be upgraded in the field and provide additional radio enhancements.

AERO Duo is an advanced radio with future-ready capabilities:
•         1024QAM modulation for up to 2Gbps aggregated throughput in a single  1U rack allowing for increased spectrum usage ;
•         Zero-downtime adaptive coding and adaptive modulation for increased transmission agility;
•         Ultra-compact form factor enabling rack-free installation in urban environment for small-cell backhaul solution;
•         4 ports Gigabit Ethernet, 1 Fiber SFP for direct LTE eNodeB connectivity;
•         Advanced traffic aggregation (2+0, 3+0, 4+0) through units stacking;
•         Native TDM variant available for smooth migration scenarios.

“We see a challenge in Operators expenses for the deployment of LTE networks. Increasing capacity is of great interest, but of larger importance is the possibility to keep control of spectrum costs. AERO Duo, allowing for up to 30% spectrum costs reduction, is the platform of choice for any Operator transitioning to new-generation wireless backhaul”, says Jean-Philippe Fournier, 3Roam VP of Sales and Marketing.

AERO Duo will debut at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain, February 27 - March 1st, 2012.
