Reliability
The CM’s rapidly growing installed population has demonstrated a long, uneventful service life. Available in non-protected, protected and space or frequency diversity configurations, the CM radio’s design and quality ensures both hardware reliability and path integrity. CM radios are used in Public Safety networks, 911 systems, airport flight control applications, and other mission critical networks where reliability is at the top of the priority list.

Flexibility
The CM Series includes products in the North American 6 and 11 GHz licensed bands and the international 7 GHz band. Data rates start at 4 x DS1 and extend to OC-3 (155 Mbit/s), with a variety of interface levels including North American DS1 and DS3, international E1 and E3 rates, STS-1 and STM-3 optical or electrical, and even 100BaseT fast Ethernet. The same chassis is used for each configuration

Growth
The CM is future-proof; it will grow to meet your increasing requirements. Start with low data rates to conserve bandwidth or reduce start-up cost, then easily upgrade to higher data rates with simple plug-in card substitutions. The active Radio Frequency sections of the radio, the transmitters and receivers, need never be replaced when upgrading data rates. One set of transmitters and receivers can handle any data rate from QPSK modulated 4 x E1 up to 128 QAM OC-3 at 155 Mbit/s.

Maintenance
Although the CM is basically maintenance free, the all-indoor design with front access to all components, hot-swappable plug-in modules, built-in test services and on-board alarm indicators ensures fast and easy fault isolation and repair.  Network management through either Airlinx’s TeleScan 3000 Network Management System or an SNMP based network manager allows remote monitoring and control of all aspects of the CM’s operation.
