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.

Alcatel-Lucent 9500 Microwave Packet Radio
N orth A merican / A N S I M ar k ets | R elease 1. 0 and 2. 0
The Alcatel-Lucent 9500 Microwave Packet Radio (MPR) is changing the world of wireless transmission; it provides seamless Internet Protocol (IP) migration for microwave networks. Mobile service providers, private operators and carriers now have a new platform adding exceptional functionality to their networks. The 9500 MPR handles traffic by packets natively, using IP instead of being locked into Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) formats; yet it still fully supports TDM circuits, providing a means to gracefully and seamlessly migrate to an all-IP infrastructure. The 9500 MPR offers the lowest total cost of ownership by reducing both fixed capital expenditures and recurring operational expenses.
Key features and benefits
Multi-service aggregation layer Provided by a fully scalable 10 gigabit Microwave Service Switch (MSS) with DS1, DS3 and Ethernet interfaces Allows operators to adopt IP backhaul without abandoning existing TDM-based services

Outdoor Units (ODU)

changing link conditions to improve availability Fully exploits the air link by allocating transport capacity according to dynamically varying bandwidth and QoS requirements for different services Improves use of the premium microwave spectrum, boosts link performance and reduces antenna size requirements Multi-reach packet node Combines up to 12 short haul and long haul radio transceivers plus a 10 Gigabit core switching matrix into a single network element Provides optical Gigabit Ethernet (GigE) and metallic uplinks Packets can be transported over any media in any direction Dramatically reduces the total cost of ownership by eliminating service aggregation bottlenecks, serving a wide range of distances, connecting in several directions, minimizing space requirements, eliminating messy intershelf cabling, and simplifying operation
With Ethernet as the convergence layer, any kind of traffic can be carried, independent of the type of interface Service awareness Encapsulates all traffic as packets, then queues and prioritizes packets by service type, criticality and Quality of Service (QoS) requirements before transporting packets across the radio link Eliminates the potential for backhaul to become a choke point with limited growth for new data services while still supporting QoS requirements of existing voice services Service-driven adaptive modulation This giant step forward in radio technology hitlessly adapts to
