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. With the Alcatel-Lucent 9500 MPR product, networks can efficiently absorb rapid growth in multimedia traffic, because packets are handled natively and transmission is adapted to the propagation conditions and quality required by different types of services.

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. In response, broadband wireless technologies including high-speed packet access (HSxPA) and evolution
data optimized (EV-DO) are evolving to enable higher transmission speeds and packet interfaces. Backhaul networks must evolve to meet these new bandwidth demands at acceptable cost points.
IP transport can help mobile providers transform their networks — to better manage the increasing traffic demands of broadband services. To satisfy the need for new packet backhaul solutions,
Alcatel-Lucent offers a revolutionary way of transporting packets natively. With this new approach, the AlcatelLucent 9500 MPR product can assure the quality of service required for each traffic type, dramatically reduce OPEX and improve the connectivity of Ethernet and legacy E1 base stations. As a result, your network can absorb rapid growth in multimedia traffic easily and efficiently, with a smooth migration from TDM to IP.
Figure 1. TDM Transport compared to Packet Aggregation. There is a clear gain in scarce radio resources when transporting packet traffic natively. Packet solutions can absorb TDM traffic efficiently while TDM solutions cannot handle packet traffic cost-efficiently.
