Alcatel-Lucent 9500 Microwave Cross-Connect
The Alcatel-Lucent 9500 Microwave Cross-Connect (MXC) is a flexible, multiservice wireless transport platform
for medium- to high-capacity mixed traffic. Offering a new generation of digital, point-to-point microwave radio
capabilities, the 9500 MXC provides an effective way to meet the growing demand for high-capacity applications.

The compact Alcatel-Lucent 9500 MXC
supports SDH/SONET and “super PDH”
applications with higher flexibility
afforded by its integrated crossconnection capabilities. It can also
support fixed applications such as DSL
and WiMA X backhauling, due to its
multiple interfaces, including PDH, SDH
and Ethernet with integrated Layer-2
switching. The 9500 MXC is a reliable,
complete, homogeneous series, from
6 GHz to 38 GHz. Its unique network
management capabilities serve both
small and large networks, and its
compact design enables easy installation while ensuring that maximum
commonality is achieved across
frequencies and capacities.
