Two-Way Multi-Carrier STL (Studio-To-Transmitter Link) Cable AML has installed a high-capacity, two-way, multi-carrier STL (Studio to Transmitter Link) operating in the millimeter-wave bands of 27.5 – 28.0 GHz (downstream) and 31.0 – 31.3 GHz (upstream). The link is designed to interconnect an LMDS headend with a remote Base Station featuring Cable AML’s wideband, high-power transceivers.

Cable AML’s broadband multi-carrier system design makes it possible to interconnect several base stations to a single LMDS headend where all the digital modulation and demodulation equipment is housed, reducing system cost and complexity.

Conventional system designs based on single-carrier radios are implemented with one full duplex link per carrier and require digital re-modulation at each base station. Cable AML multi-carrier approach drastically reduces the cost and complexity of the interface equipment between the STL and the LMDS transceivers at each base station.
