Patent ID: 8792465

Claim:
An apparatus for transmitting a Gigabit-Ethernet signal through a fixed high capacity point-to-point radio system, the apparatus comprising: a user interface for receiving a Gigabit-Ethernet signal to be transmitted; means for selecting a transmission carrier frequency and an associated bandwidth, wherein said carrier frequency is in a range of 6 to 38 GHz and said associated bandwidth is less than 1.25 GHz; a compression rate selector for compressing the Gigabit-Ethernet signal to be transmitted by a compression rate of 1:8, thus obtaining a compressed Gigabit-Ethernet signal, wherein the step of compressing comprises selecting a compression rate according to resources which are available in the radio link; a mapper for mapping the compressed Gigabit-Ethernet signal in a single virtual container; and a transceiver means for transmitting the single virtual container through said fixed high capacity point-to-point radio system.
