Product Overview
The airHaul™ Nexus TOTAL [sB3013] is a low cost, quick to use and easy to install Near Line of Sight wireless backhaul solution for communication service provider and enterprise networks. It offers wireless service providers, enterprises and telco’s a point-to-point link, which can provide up to 10 Mbps of data throughput and a range of up to 25 miles (40 km).
Designed for rugged outdoor conditions the radio operates in the license free 2.4 GHz band (software selectable channels) to deliver three non-overlapping 20 Mhz channels. Furthermore, the airHaul Nexus TOTAL offers flexibility through an innovative integrated antenna and provision for an external antenna through the N Connector.
Additionally, the network processing capabilities, a host of intelligent Layer 3 networking features, the built-in wide area edge router capabilities allow operators to deploy large, scalable and hierarchical networks.
The airHaul Nexus TOTAL, with its intelligent networking features and carrier class attributes, is the best-in-class backhaul with a low price tag.

Unprecedented RF performance
Using the latest COFDM technology, the airHaul Nexus TOTAL radio operates in the license free 2.4 GHz band (software selectable) to deliver three non-overlapping channels. In the event of RF congestion, the software tunable Nexus radio can remotely change frequency bands.
The radio delivers high transmit power and ultra high receive sensitivity for long operating range. In addition, the radio employs advanced interference mitigation techniques to provide high availability to clients, giving reliable and high performance wireless backhaul links for distant subscribers.
Intelligent Networking for the Wireless Backhaul
Supporting the superior RF performance are the network processing capabilities combined with a host of intelligent Layer 3 networking features. The built-in wide area edge router capabilities allow operators to deploy large, scalable and hierarchical networks.
The Spanning Tree Protocol facilitates installation of redundancy in the network. The WatchGuard feature of the airHaul Nexus TOTAL giving reliable and high performance wireless backhaul links for distant subscribers continuously monitors the device and performs an automatic recovery to realize high system availability. The airHaul has a unified Web and SNMP (MIB II compliant) based remote management interface. This means quick integration of the airHaul Nexus TOTAL with the industry leading EMS solutions.
Carrier Class Attributes
The purpose built airHaul Nexus TOTAL with electrical overstress protection can withstand harsh outdoor operating environments ranging from -49º F to 140º F (-45º C to +60º C) and very humid or very dry conditions. The rust proof plenum rated metal enclosure with enclosed N Connectors give added protection from environmental conditions.
Quick and Easy Deployment
Field installation is expensive and time-consuming; therefore, the airHaul Nexus TOTAL is designed for rapid out-of-the-box installation. With the easy-to-use backhaul, simple-to-use software and audio tone antenna alignment aid, the network can be set up rapidly and cost-effectively. The radio kit is shipped fully assembled to save assembly time in the field.
The integrated high performance antenna is suitable for servicing most subscribers. For hard-to-reach units, an external high gain antenna can be connected to the N Connector. This flexibility allows the operator to use a single backhaul equipment to meet a variety of subscriber installation requirements.
