As a result, the network can easily and efficiently accommodate rapid growth in multimedia traffic, with smooth migration from TDM to IP. Native transport of packet traffic produces a clear gain in scarce radio resources; while packet solutions can absorb TDM traffic efficiently, TDM solutions cannot handle packet traffic cost-effectively.

IP transformation typically seeks to achieve four major goals: • Gradual transformation of the network, focusing on areas where compelling events force investment in a solution • Return on investment in less than two years (as a result of OPEX savings) • Minimized OPEX despite capacity increases; requires optimizing the use of scarce resources and aggregating all services over a single pipe, with no overlays • Use of a multi-vendor model with standard protocols and no proprietary equipment Data traffic is growing fast, but revenues are not increas- ing at the same pace; this creates a need to find more efficient ways to transport the additional packet traffic Figure 2 shows the evolution of traffic and revenue.

- Page 6 Microwave Packet Transport Unit – High Capacity, Long Haul The Microwave Packet Transport Unit — High Capacity, Long Haul (MPT-HL) simplifies the critical part of a microwave system, using the latest RF and modem tech- nology. It provides two RF slots in 2.5 rack units of space in 1+0, 1+1 Space Diversity/Frequency Diversity (SD/FD), and 2+0 installations. Connection to the MPT-HL from the MSS is simplified to a standard Gigabit Ethernet connec- tion. The MPT-HL is the first all-packet, all-indoor nodal microwave transmission system. Alcatel-Lucent 9500 Microwave Packet Radio North American Markets outdoor Unit This same Outdoor Unit (ODU) is available for the whole product family (both traditional TDM and IP microwave solutions), allowing smooth migration from TDM to packet networks and protecting your initial investment. The Alcatel-Lucent 9500 MPR is transparent to all microwave solutions, so it can be deployed in any existing network. This offers seamless, cost-effective evolution from TDM to packet transport — on the schedule that best meets your needs. Microwave Service Switch Microwave Packet Transport Unit...
