Enterprise CPE-XR brings extended range and link stability

TORONTO, March 31, 2016 /CNW/ - Redline Communications (www.rdlcom.com) Group Inc. (TSX: RDL), a leading provider of wide-area wireless networks for the most challenging applications and locations, introduced today a new fixed broadband wireless device which enables telecom service providers to offer enhanced data services to their enterprise customers.

The new "Enterprise CPE-XR" (Extended Range) is the newest addition to Redline's award-winning RDL-3000 family of wireless solutions. It works in conjunction with the RDL-3000 base station to bring high-end wireless connectivity to any end point without the cost and inconvenience of cabling.  The Enterprise CPE-XR has three times the power and a much narrower wireless dispersion than the existing Redline Enterprise CPE, bringing greater range and a much smaller interference profile for improved performance, especially in dense urban and high-interference scenarios.

"Telecom Service Providers that focus on the high-end Dedicated Internet Access (DIA) market are dealing with never-ending demands from their business customers for better data performance from the network," said Rodney Cronin, associate vice president, product management for Redline Communications. "Redline's Enterprise CPE-XR allows service providers to easily deliver wireless service with data speeds exceeding 100 Mbps at ranges up to 12 miles (19 kilometers), even in areas that are affected by interference from other wireless systems."

The new integrated antenna on the Enterprise CPE-XR utilizes a technology that creates a very narrow wireless dispersion, which makes the link between the CPE and the base station much more robust when other systems are operating in the same wireless spectrum – such as is common in dense urban areas. The Enterprise CPE-XR also brings telecom service providers an increased service footprint as it extends the range of their RDL-3000 Base Stations without the use of large and more expensive parabolic antennas at customer locations.

The release of the Enterprise CPE-XR comes just months after Redline released enhanced smart-radio (STBC & MRRC) and smart-antenna (MIMO) upgrades that added range and capacity to the RDL-3000 family of wireless products in the different deployment scenarios.

"Redline has reinvented the RDL-3000 family of radios to address the business challenges of the Telecom Service Provider," added Cronin. "Wireless telecom service providers operating in licensed spectrums are looking for greater Revenues per MHz of spectrum and unlicensed spectrum providers are looking for greater capacity under harsh interference and they're both looking to increase their wireless footprint from each base station. The Enterprise CPE-XR helps fulfill all of these needs."

The Enterprise CPE-XR is available in all of the RDL-3000's "Universal Wireless Transport" spectrums including the popular 5GHz unlicensed bands, 3.3 – 3.8 GHz and 4.9 GHz public safety.  Designed as a point-to-multipoint (PMP) system for maximum cost effectiveness, the system also supports point-to-point (PTP) configurations, whereby two Enterprise CPE-XR units can be programmed via software as an independent PTP link.

The RDL-3000 Enterprise CPE-XR is fully backward compatible with all of Redline's RDL-3000 systems deployed around the globe by telecom service providers, oil and gas producers, public safety agencies, governments and other private networks.  The product is available today.
