TRACER® is an unlicensed digital microwave radio from
ADTRAN® that uses spread-spec-trum technology to provide two
independent T1 communication links.
As authorized under part
15.247 of the FCC rules, TRACER operates in the 2.4 to 2.4835
GHz and 5.725 to 5.850 GHz industrial, scientific, and medical
(ISM) band. TRACER equipment can operate license-free in the
U.S. and many other countries.
The TRACER system is composed of two primary hardware
elements: a Baseband Processor (BBP) and a Radio-Frequency
Converter (RFC). All signaling and power functions between the
BBP and the RFC are provided over a single coax connection.
TRACER’s two component construction provides system
configuration flexibility to suit the most difficult
installations.
In the rackmount configuration, the BBP and RFC are each
contained in a 19" x 1U (1.75-inch) chassis, suitable for
mounting indoors in a rack or tabletop.
Like the rackmount system, the TRACER mast mount system is
also composed of a BBP and an RFC. To minimize transmission
line loss, the weatherproof RFC can be mounted near the
antenna at up to 350 feet from the Baseband Processor using
one RG-8 size coax. All signaling and power functions between
the BBP and RFC are provided over this single coax connection.
TRACER transports two T1 or E1 digital signals in any
framing or line-code format and provides two DS-1/DSX-1 or
G.703 interfaces. A separate maintenance channel is embedded
in the TRACER data stream, providing remote configuration and
monitoring functions. The maintenance channel is provided
without impacting T1 capacity.
By using the latest technology and incorporating ADTRAN’s
ISO 9001 manufacturing processes, ADTRAN has designed TRACER
to provide the highest levels of reliability and durability.
As a result, TRACER includes an industry-leading five-year
warranty. In addition, every TRACER product is backed by
ADTRAN’s outstanding 24-hour technical support.
