Alcatel-Lucent 9500 MXC: Microwave Cross-Connect
BROADBAND WIRELESS TRANSPORT FOR THE EDGE AND HUBS

O V E R V I E W

The 9500 MXC is a State-of-the-Art split architecture radio platform aimed at fullling the needs of a wide range of wireless point-to-point applications. It provides highly reliable communications for transmission of TDM, SONET and Ethernet trafc. The 9500 MXC offers capacities from 6 Mbps to 311 Mbps, in the 6 GHz to 23 GHz frequency bands. The innovative Nodal concept and Terminal congurations of the 9500 MXC provide a single platform solution for point-to-point applications, resulting in a dramatic reduction of the total cost of ownership for wireless access and backhaul providers. The highly scalable, software-congurable architecture of the 9500 MXC allows operators to take complete control of their networks, to adapt to constantly changing environments and to anticipate future trafc evolution.
provides the exibility to grow from low capacity TDM interfaces (as low as 4 DS1), to high capacity OC-3, and Ethernet, using the same Intelligent Node Unit (INU). The operator has complete exibility to mix and match ANY interface within the radio. This allows the 9500 MXC to act as an integrated access device, drastically lowering CAPEX and simplifying network design while increasing network reliability. The highly exible INU allows interconnection with up to six (6) Outdoor Units (ODUs). Software selectable modulation, from QPSK to 256 QAM, offers exibility with capacity, RF bandwidth and spectral efciency. Non-standby and hotstandby RF protection options, with integrated and non-integrated ODU/antenna congurations, are all available options. The 9500 MXC is available for deployment today in FCC and Industry Canada Frequency bands of L6, U6, 7-8, 10.5,11, 15, 18, and 23 GHz. The 9500 MXC can be congured with DS1, DS3, OC-3 or Ethernet tributary interfaces, with the operator having the ability to mix and match as needed. Additionally, the DS3 can be equipped as a clear channel or have an integrated M13 multiplexer while the OC-3 card has the ability to be congured as a SONET ADM.
