Summary – Key Differentiating Features of PTP 550
• 1.4 Gbps Headline Data Rate
• Asymmetric Non-Contiguous Channel Aggregation
– DFS and Non-DFS
– Aggressive and Resilient Network
• Asymmetric modulation between two channels
• Link Resilience:
– Only one channel can move during DCS, hence link is always established
• ARQ
• Compact and Durable Metal Form Factor
• SFP Port
