RTN 380

RTN 380 is Huawei's second generation full outdoor E-Band microwave operating at 71 GHz to 86 GHz and adopting carrier-grade design. Abundant spectrum resources mean a shorter licensing process. Compared with the microwave operating at traditional frequency bands, E-band microwave beams are narrow, which minimizes interference between sites, enables dense site deployment, and facilitates reuse of spectrum resources.

As highly-integrated full outdoor microwave, RTN 380 supports zero footprint installation, reducing network deployment costs. It connects to service-side equipment through GE ports.

With a capacity of up to 4 Gbit/s, RTN 380 can accommodate future bandwidth requirements. It may provide high-capacity links for hub sites, complement optical networks on MANs, or serve as a replacement in scenarios where deploying optical networks is difficult. In Huawei's Cloud-based Radio Access Networking (C-RAN) solution, RTN 380 can backhaul CPRI traffic from RRUs to the BBU.
