2. Product Description
2.1 General Description
The Tsunami licensed radios provide high capacity transmission and operational convenience in a digital
communications network.
These Tsunami radios provide 1000BaseF intelligent bridging between two fixed coordinated locations.
Because each owner controls the operation of the link, there is no reliance on any outside services.
Tsunami radio operators are able to operate whenever needed, and to be in control of their own
network.
The Tsunami offers two primary benefits:
vCONVENIENCE Easy to install and operate with a user license
coordinated in the USA. (Other countries may also require
a user license and/or frequency coordination).
vCAPABILITY Full transparent Fast Ethernet connections with no
throughput reduction over any line-of-sight distance (within
legal limits of government regulation)
Tsunami radios are ISO Layer 2 Data Link Layer (use MAC address for filtering) devices where
they provide their full stated throughput. At level 2 (bridges) or 3/4 (routers) where hardware plays
the major part, the most common tester is the SmartBits 200 product from NetCom Systems. At
Application Layer 7, you will see less than 40% throughput from the maximum capacity measured with
SmartBits due to the increased protocol/software overhead at that level. Layer 7 can be tested with
software such as Ganymede's Chariot or Qcheck product (www.qcheck.net/index.html). Use Qcheck (or
equivalent), do NOT use PING for throughput testing (www.qcheck.net/whyqcheck.html)!
As an example: testing copper CAT5e cable with SmartBits will test 100% throughput (let's say you can
send/receive a full 100Mbps). At Layer 7 you will be transferring bits at the 100Mbps rate, but
approximately only 45Mbps of user data will transfer (Ethernet has a high overhead of bytes added to
each data packet frame each time you go up a layer). The advantage is the more complex overhead
makes the data virtually resilient to corruption and minor errors (i.e. collisions), it’s easy to reroute and
the network can use inexpensive plug/play devices like hubs/switches instead of multiplexers as used in
the telco industry (i.e. LYNX T1/E1/DS3 radios)
Western Multiplex tests for stated throughput at Layer 2/3 where bridges are defined. At layer 7
(application layer), you may see less than 50% or more depending on the other traffic that may be on
the LAN as this layer is more dependent on the type of data being sent (it does not matter if it's wire,
fiber or any Ethernet bridge -wired or wireless). Another way to look at it: the model 31145 12Mbps
(10Mbps 10BaseT+T1/E1 wayside) bridge will test the same as a piece of CAT5e Ethernet cable.

2.2 Specifications
All specifications are subject to change without notice.
2.2.1 Transmitter
Frequency Selection A1 channel model 272XX-G1A1 (center frequency Tx=5775)
A2 channel model 272XX-G1A2 (center frequency Tx=5300)
Frequency Range 5250 – 5350 MHz (100MHz BW)
5725 – 5825 MHz (100MHz BW)
Output Power +10 dBm (5.3 GHz band)
+17 dBm (5.8 GHz band)
(Note: output power is specified as guaranteed minimum before attenuation)
Control Range 16 dB min (at ODU)
DO NOT exceed the maximum transmit power setting as set at the factory!
Exceeding the factory-set power level will degrade the specifications of the
radio and may also violate regulatory compliance. Output power may be
attenuated from factory setting to comply with regulatory EIRP limits.
