Alcatel-Lucent 9500 MPR – Microwave Packet Radio Streamlined, Cost-Effective Microwave IP Transformation
This microwave packet radio (MPR) product enables smooth transformation of backhaul networks from TDM to IP — and provides efficient transport of multimedia traffic, while still supporting legacy TDM. It improves packet aggregation, increases bandwidth, optimizes Ethernet connectivity and delivers the quality of service needed to satisfy end users.
Meet a Key Backhaul Challenge – The Rapid Growth of Multimedia Traffic The mobile market is changing, and to remain competitive, mobile service providers must deliver new profitable services and reduce their backhaul costs. Mobile user demand continues to move beyond basic data services like instant messaging and e-mail to more delay sensitive applications like media streaming and real-time multimedia.
The Need for IP Transformation The growing demand for new broadband services requires more connectivity and additional ports at cell sites. Packet traffic growth from these new broadband services drives bandwidth requirements higher — up to 20 Mb/s to 30 Mb/s per cell site. This increase is driven by packet traffic rather than voice traffic, so capacity and quality constraints are different.
An Innovative, Truly Packet Product The Alcatel-Lucent 9500 MPR helps ensure optimal performance for all types of backhauling technologies and enables smooth evolution of existing TDM-based networks to an all-IP network. It aggregates many kinds of incoming traffic, including 2G, 3G and WiMAX. High performance and low latency for each service and synchronization of these services is achieved along the entire backhauling network.
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.
