Press Release For Immediate Release

NEC's New iPASOLINK Series Radio Pushes Limits of Radio

Performance with Highest Power Radio Transmitter Available.
NEC Targets Service Providers and Enterprise Company Markets
with New High Power Microwave Radio -- Capable of +40dBm

Irving, Texas August 9, 2016 NEC Corporation of America (NEC), a leading provider and
integrator of advanced IT, communications, networking and biometric solutions, today announced
the launch of a new addition to the iPASOLINK Series of Microwave Radios. The iPASOLINK
VR1250 is specifically designed to meet the ever increasing demand for greater amounts of data,
video, and voice traffic across wireless transport networks, with enhanced convergence
capabilities incorporating 12 RF Channels, multiple 10GbE Ethernet Interfaces, as well as
multiple CWDM interfaces in a single chassis.
NEC's iPASOLINK Series of Microwave Radios has a global reputation for initial quality, superior
performance and long term reliability. This latest addition provides support for over 10Gbps
transport across Optical and/or Microwave channels in a compact 3RU chassis. Redundant,
robust and efficient carrier-class switches deliver over 100Gbps of switching capacity, while
drawing minimal power. With few exceptions, backward compatibility with existing NEC
transmitter/receivers allows cost effective migration from NLite Series and iPASOLINK 250/650.
With support for transmit power up to +40dBm, adaptive modulation rates from QPSK up to
4096QAM and channel bandwidths up to 80MHz, the iPASOLINK VR1250 has the most cost
effective bits per buck transmit rates in the industry. Nodal capacity increases to 12 channels,
with available Layer 1 bonding of up to 8 RF channels in a single LAG. NECs patented crosspolarity interference cancellation techniques guarantee maximum throughput, with highly reliable
system performance, utilizing fewer RF channels.
The increased power output provides the capability to design longer path lengths with smaller
antennas, while maintaining critical system availability, ensuring low CAPEX. The iPASOLINK
design reflects NECs commitment to its Smart Enterprise initiative as well as the outstanding
reliability NEC products are known for. Smart Enterprise provides an IT communications
infrastructure that allows companies to have a more predictive business that they can operate at
a lower cost and empowers them to be more competitive. iPASOLINK protects budgets with low
OPEX, and TCO that you expect from NEC.
The release of the iPASOLINK VR1250 is proof that NEC continues to invest in technology and
development advancements as many of its competitors focus on divesting products and
reductions in their workforce, said Matt Engelmann vice president, NEC Corporation of
America. We expect the VR1250 will certainly disrupt the market with its greater feature sets

supporting critical communications across converged networks while driving down clients OPEX
and CAPEX. Clients are gravitating to NEC due to our staying power, continued technology
investment and financial stability, as these factors increasingly become more important to our
customers.
The iPASOLINK VR1250 will be revealed at the upcoming APCO 2016 Conference and Expo,
August 14-17, 2016, at the Orange County Convention Center, Orlando, FL.
NEC
representatives will be on site and available in booth #427.
