INTRODUCTION

9500 MPR General System Description
This General System Description applies to 9500 MPR software
1.1
release R02.00 (hereafter called R02.00) and any subsequent or maintenance
release to this release. It describes system applications, floor space, and power
requirements. Signal input and output characteristics are also defined. This
manual can be used by system and operations staff who plan to operate, install,
commission, or maintain a 9500 MPR, and by any others who must be familiar
with the equipment.
Alcatel-Lucent 9500 Microwave Packet radio (MPR) is a solution for
1.2
smooth transformation of backhaul networks from TDM to IP.
The Alcatel-Lucent 9500 MPR efficiently transports multimedia
1.3
traffic since it handles packets natively, while still supporting legacy TDM DS1
traffic. It also provides the quality of service needed to satisfy end-users. This
solution improves packet aggregation, increases bandwidth and optimizes
Ethernet connectivity. With the Alcatel-Lucent 9500 MPR the network can
easily and efficiently absorb rapid growth in multimedia traffic, because it
handles packets natively by adapting the transmission of the packets to the air
conditions and the quality required by the different types of services.
9500 MPR9500 MPR covers the frequency range from 5 GHz to 6 GHz,
1.4
consisting of Microwave Service Switch (MSS-8) shelf providing the baseband
processing and tributaries interfaces as well as supervision, and Microwave
Packet Transport-Long Haul (MPT-HL) shelf providing the radio function.
9500 MPR replaces the traditional terminal or single-link based
1.5
approach to networking with a nodal solution.
9500 MPRThe 9500 MPR supports up to eight RF links for operation
1.6
on the same or different frequency bands. A Transceiver module in the
MPT-HL shelf for each link is connected to P8ETH Ethernet Access Switch
module inside the MSS-8 shelf.
Other plug-in modules provide line interface access and management.
1.7
9500 MPR supports a mix of non-protected and protected or diversity operation
for single link, repeater or star radio configurations.
