High-Capacity OC-3 Wireless Connectivity

Lynx OC-3 is a License-Exempt digital microwave radio that provides wireless full-duplex
OC-3 connectivity for distances exceeding 7 miles (11 km)at a significantly lower cost
than leasing dedicated OC-3 lines or trenching for fiber.
Using high-quality radios and standard SONET interfaces, Lynx OC-3 allows you to
quickly connect locations or add redundancy to existing SONET network infrastructure.
Lynx OC-3 offers significant cost savings compared to leased-line connections, and
provides a time-to-connection advantage where new lines are impossible or too costly.
In addition, Lynx OC-3 is license-exempt, so you can install it where and when you need
it, without right-of-way limitations, frequency licensing delays, or waiting for your
telecommunications provider to deliver new lines.
Extend or Enhance Your Network Overnight
With Lynx OC-3, there are no leased-line hassles, antenna restrictions or right-of-way
issues to negotiate. You no longer have to worry about man-made barriers to overcome.
Easy installation and operation allow network planners to quickly deploy SONET OC-3
(155 Mbps) capacity between locations, making it the ideal solution for:
Enterprises desiring fiber redundancy or fiber alternatives
Service Providers and Local Exchange Carriers extending fiber or creating a wireless
backbone
Cellular carriers extending backbone infrastructure and backhauling traffic
