Introducing Intelligent Backhaul Radio (“IBR”)
1.1 Overview
IBR combines a Carrier Ethernet switch and an AnyLOS™ radio which can operate simultaneously in non-,
near-, and clear line of sight radio conditions. It is designed for small cell deployment in dense urban
environments where line of sight between radios is difficult or impossible to achieve.
near-, and clear line of sight radio conditions. It is designed for small cell deployment in dense urban
environments where line of sight between radios is difficult or impossible to achieve.
IBR is small, passively-cooled, and environmentally protected for use mainly in macro-cellular backhaul,
commercial services fiber fill-in, and small cell backhaul applications. It can be mounted on masts, poles,
walls, cell towers, or in other such locations and requires little or no alignment when the radios are pointed in
commercial services fiber fill-in, and small cell backhaul applications. It can be mounted on masts, poles,
walls, cell towers, or in other such locations and requires little or no alignment when the radios are pointed in
the general direction of one another.
NOTE: For safety reasons and regulatory compliance, IBR should be installed in a restricted access
location that is accessible only by authorized service personnel.

1.2 IBR Models - Transmit & Receive Frequencies
Two models of IBR transmit and receive in different bands and operate as a pair to form the two ends of a
link. IBR may be accessed remotely over the network from telnet or SSH. The default IP addresses are:
link. IBR may be accessed remotely over the network from telnet or SSH. The default IP addresses are:
192.168.128.101 for the radio that transmits in the lower frequency band (IBR101); and
192.168.128.102 for the radio that transmits in the higher frequency band (IBR102).
The default host names are IBR101 and IBR102 respectively and the subnet mask is /16 or 255.255.0.0.
1.3 Radio Features
IBR uses adaptive rate modulation, proprietary interference avoidance and cancellation techniques, AES
encryption, and antenna array signal processing to deliver reliable and secure high speed data transmission
over links where line-of-sight between radios is difficult or impossible to achieve. The table below shows IBR

over links where line-of-sight between radios is difficult or impossible to achieve. The table below shows IBR
performance in a typical installation.
