Alcatel Carrier Internetworking Solutions 9500 MPR - Manual (Page 6)

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.
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.
