PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Siemens versatile, high-performance A53685 Airlink Mars Radio Hardware Platform is
capable of operating all Airlink Software Applications including the IEEE 802.16s and 802.16e
air interface protocols and operation as a Base Station, Fixed Remote or Mobile Remote Radio.
The Airlink Mars radio, with transmit power up to 100 watts at the antenna port, offers the
network operator many advantages including significantly greater range and capacity and
improved performance. Mars can be especially useful in high noise environments.
Airlink Mars supports any frequency band from as low as 70 MHz up to 6 GHz. Furthermore, the
Airlink Mars radio Hardware supports flexible channel sizes ranging from as narrow as 12.5 kHz
up to 10 MHz.
Airlink Mars' ability to operate a variety of software applications combined with its frequency and
channel size independence minimizes future obsolesce allowing the operator to plan for a
minimum 15-year life cycle.
The Airlink Mars supports transmit power up to 100 Watts at the antenna port (before antenna
gain) with industry-leading radio receiver sensitivity as low as -117 dBm. The combination of
100 Watt TX power, excellent receiver sensitivity, flexible channel sizes, and frequencies, leads
to exceptional range in a point-to-multipoint wireless data system with 30+ mile non-line-of-sight
of connectivity.
Mars uses front-to-back forced-air cooling to operate within a wide temperature range from -
40°C to +70°C.
