Alcatel Carrier Internetworking Solutions 9500 MPR Key Components, Microwave Service Switch MSS

Extending IP/MPLS from the Core to the Cell Site

The Alcatel-Lucent 9500 MPR product is part of an integrated end-to-end remote access network and core solution for complete IP transformation. Comprehensive, end-to-end monitoring of the entire IP remote access network helps ensure effective IP/MPLS management and reduces complexity.

Key Components

To integrate TDM, IP and microwave technologies, the Alcatel-Lucent 9500 MPR product is comprised of two main components: the Microwave Service Switch and the Universal Outdoor Unit.

Single Packet Node Characteristics

•Multiservice Switching Capacity: Greater than 10 Gb/s

•Radio throughput: Greater than 2 Gb/s

•Termination of 192xE1/T1 in circuit emulation

•No single point of failure

•Embedded synchronization distribution even in full Ethernet infrastructure

•Nodal SW configuration with a single packet matrix switching both Ethernet and TDM

•Standalone Site Aggregator compatible with any multivendor MW infrastructure

Microwave Service Switch (MSS)

The MSS has the ability to aggregate any kind of TDM traffic, with any kind of packet traffic, over a single Ethernet connection. Different services can be dynamically managed, depending on radio performance levels at any given time, particularly in case of fading conditions.

Outdoor Unit (ODU)

A common ODU is available for the whole product family — both TDM traditional and IP microwave solutions. This allows smooth migration from TDM to packet networks and protects initial investments.

The Alcatel-Lucent 9500 MPR is transparent to microwave solutions, so it can be deployed in existing networks. This preserves your investments and offers seamless, cost-effective evolution from TDM to packet transport — on the schedule that best meets your needs.
