Easy to Deploy & Manage
The MDS Intrepid facilitates rapid deployment by virtue of unlicensed
frequency options, antenna alignment features, and simplified GUI-
based configuration and management.
Secure, Prioritized Communications
The MDS Intrepid transmits data using secure AES 128-bit encryption.
Quality of Service (QoS) facilitates prioritization of data so that the
most mission-critical communications receive required bandwidth.
Co-location for Optimized Tower Use
MDS Intrepid provides hub site synchronization that permits up to eight
radios to be located at a single hub site without causing self-induced
interference.
Application and Deployment Flexibility
Modulation options from QPSK to 256 QAM over 10, 28, 30, or 40 MHz
channel sizes are available to optimize range and throughput and to
comply with regulatory restrictions that may exist for certain license
pairs. Frequency band support from 6 to 38 GHz is one of the highest
in the industry, and optional high power options facilitate long distance
communications.
Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, SONET/OC-3, and multiple T1/E1s
interface options facilitate a wide range of applications. Support for
N+1, space diversity, and protected configurations make MDS Intrepid-
HC ideally suited for any deployment architecture.
Scalable & Fast
The MDS Intrepid-HC facilitates economical growth as throughput
requirements evolve. Indoor Modules (IDMs) are upgradable from 50
Mbps to 400 Mbps using a single carrier or up to 800 Mbps using two
carriers in a single receiver unit. This high capacity is provided as full
duplex at layer two of the protocol stack for Fast Ethernet.
Modular Architecture
The modular architecture of the MDS Intrepid-HC reduces capital and
operational expenditures and facilitates commonality of sparing and
reduced maintenance costs. Ethernet and TDM traffic is facilitated
simultaneously, each with native interfaces for an optimized shared
backhaul for networks with multiple applications.
Native Ethernet & TDM Interfaces
The MDS Intrepid-HC native Ethernet platform provides a more efficient
solution than those requiring extensive mapping over TDM circuits.

than ½ millisecond, which is paramount for VoIP applications.
