Multichannel - Adaptive Bandwidth Control (ABC)

• Multichannel ABC is an effective technology for transporting packets over

multiple dynamic “links”
• Works on layer 1 and is independent of frame types and packet flows
• Automatically scales with available channels/links
• Handles from 2 RF channels to 8 RF channels and from 10 to 400 Mb/s per
carrier (RF channel)
- Max aggregated payload (Layer2) is 1.6 Gb/s
