The RTN 380A is a full-outdoor microwave transmission device operating at 71–76 or 81–86 GHz frequency bands (E-band). The RTN 380A is applicable to mobile communications networks or dedicated networks. It features large capacity, low intersite interference, and rich spectrum resources. It provides large-capacity microwave backhaul or aggregation links and can be used as a supplement to metro optical networks.

Figure 1 shows the Huawei OptiX RTN 380A Application Scenarios.
 
Huawei OptiX RTN 380A provides these features:
(1) Ultra-High Bandwidth and High Spectral Efficiency
• Large capacity: provides microwave backhaul or aggregation links with 7.6GE airinterface capacity.
• 10GE ports: provides 10GE SFP optical ports and supports 10GE to site.
• Large channel bandwidth: provides 62.5 MHz, 125 MHz, 250 MHz, 500 MHz, 750MHz, and 1000MHz channel bandwidth.
• High modulation mode: provides a modulation scheme of up to 512QAM.
• Super Dual Band: works as a slave device to bond with the RTN 900 to provide the Super Dual Band solution, or works as a master device to bond with the RTN310/320/380A/905 1E/905 2E/third-party devices to provide the Super Dual Band solution. Through this solution, 10 Gbps microwave links with a maximum transmission distance of 10 km can be provided. In addition, through the Super Dual Band Relay solution, the transmission distance of E-band links can be
extended further.
• AMAC: supports adaptive modulation and adaptive channel bandwidth (AMAC) to ensure the transmission of high-priority services.
(2) Easy Deployment & Maintenance
• Features a small size, light weight, zero footprint installation, fast deployment, and easy maintenance.
• Supports connection to NEs at a site through WLAN, implementing contactless maintenance.
• Supports mobile commissioning and configuration during site deployment, making operations convenient.
• Supports use of the U2000 to implement E2E management, such as service deployment and real-time performance monitoring.
