Abstract:
1. An intelligent backhaul radio comprising: a plurality of receive RF chains; one or more transmit RF chains; an antenna array comprising a plurality of directive gain antenna elements, wherein each directive gain antenna element is couplable to at least one receive RF or transmit RF chain; and an interface bridge configured to couple the intelligent backhaul radio to a data network, the interface bridge comprising one or more Ethernet interfaces to couple the interface bridge to the data network wherein the intelligent backhaul radio is configured to scan a plurality of radio frequency channels for the presence of radio signals transmitted from one or more unrelated point to point microwave systems to generate scan data, and wherein the intelligent backhaul radio comprises at least one adjustable network parameter that is adjustable based on the scan data wherein the at least one network parameter is adjusted to reduce a potential of interference of the intelligent backhaul radio with the one or more unrelated point to point microwave systems wherein the intelligent backhaul radio is a first intelligent backhaul radio, and wherein the adjusting the at least one network parameter comprises one or more of:
