9500 family overview

MPR-e
The 9500 Microwave Packet Radio (MPR) is a microwave digital radio family that supports
both PDH and packet data (Ethernet) for migrating from TDM to IP. The 9500 MPR provides
a generic, modular IP platform for multiple network applications (including 2G/3G/HSDPA/
WiMAX backhauling to Metro Ethernet areas) to accommodate broadband services. The
9500 MPR radio family supports low-, medium-, and high-capacity applications using
European or North American data rates, frequencies, channel plans, and tributary interfaces:
MPR-E
• TDM/PDH Data Rate: E1
• TDM/SDH Data Rate: STM-1
• ATM Data Rate: E1
• Ethernet Data Speed: 10, 100, 1000 Mb/s
• RF Frequency Range: 6 to 38 GHz
MPR-A
• TDM/PDH Data Rates: DS1, DS3
• TDM/SDH Data Rate: OC-3
• Ethernet Data Speed: 10, 100, 1000 Mb/s
• RF Frequency Range: 5.8 to 38 GHz
The 9500 MPR introduces several elements to the microwave packet family:
• the most compact IDU solutions (MSS-1c) for E1 or E1/T1 and Ethernet hybrid
connectivity as well as a zero footprint solution (no IDU), addressing full outdoor
applications
• a new set of multipurpose ODUs, with the MPR-e addressing any application in the
microwave domain
• standalone as well as split-mount solutions applications depending on the network
requirement and layout
