FibeAir RFU-HP

Introducing: Green Mode

Green Mode

Adjusting the power consumption is an errorless

process and designed to optimize power
consumption in normal fading environment
which is the case most of the time.

Please note

1. Green Mode is supported with IP-10 IDUs only

2. When ATPC is enabled, Green Mode cannot be enabled
3. When connected to 1500R or any other IDU and operated in lower TX power, there is
considerable reduction in power consumption according to the green scale (see
later~33Watt)

ATPC VS. GREEN MODE

ATPC:
Used to reduce interference to other radios in a dense MW
environment

Green Mode:
Green Mode is environmentally friendly
Saves OPEX and CAPEX through lower power consumption
Once fading becomes severe, acts like ATPC

When fading occurs, both transmitters try to
compensate for the losses by increasing
transmission power while maintaining RSL as
close as possible to the Ref. level

When fading occurs, both transmitters
compare the monitored RSL with the Green
Level (Ref.). As long as RSL> Ref. there is
no need to increase the TSL.

When RSL drops below the Green Ref. level,
we must increase the TSL to maintain the
fade margin and avoid low sensitivity
