SIAE MICROELETTRONICA, a global supplier and innovator of licensed microwave backhaul solutions, has announced the availability of its ASNKQ, Quad-Carrier microwave radio for carriers, service providers and enterprise networks in North America.
Used in conjunction with the AGS20L and AGS20M Universal Aggregation Platform, SIAE MICROELETTRONICA's ASNKQ delivers four simultaneous RF carriers in either ACCP (adjacent channel co-polarity) or XPIC (two carriers, cross-polarity) operation. Supporting independent RF channel bandwidths from 20 MHz to 80 MHz (FCC) or 14 MHz to 112 MHz (ETSI), ASNKQ yields unprecedented microwave radio capacity of up to 4 Gbps full duplex in a single outdoor unit. Simplifying installation, ASNKQ mounts directly to the back of the antenna without the need for combiners or waveguides. ASNKQ offers flexibility in link planning for congested networks, while its unique RF branching system eases the implementation of complex microwave radio links.
The AGS20 Aggregator provides carrier-class, multi-technology traffic aggregation with carrier Ethernet and IP/MPLS services while maintaining support for legacy PDH traffic.
Additionally, ASNKQ operates in conjunction with the ALFOplus80MBLX 10 Gbps millimeter wave radio system to provide a unique multi-band (MBL) solution for operators, service providers and enterprise users. Multiband Link operation extends e-band connections at multi-mile distances with the augmentation of licensed microwave traffic to maintain high availability connections.
"Our ASNKQ radio significantly improves multi-gigabit connectivity in the licensed microwave bands", said Adriano Mauri, General Manager, SIAE US/UK for SIAE MICROELETTRONICA. "The combination of ASNKQ with our ALFOplus80MBLX to form multi-band links solves carriers' and service providers' high-capacity connectivity challenges as they build out networks for 5G and beyond."
SIAE MICROELETTRONICA's ASNKQ and 80MBLX solutions were on display at the WISPAmerica 2025 show in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma from March 24 - 26, 2025.
