The Alcatel-Lucent 9500 Microwave Packet Radio (MPR) platform enables the smooth transformation of
transport networks from circuit to IP backhaul, thus seamlessly transporting TDM, ATM, IP and Ethernet over
a Carrier Ethernet infrastructure. As a result, the Alcatel-Lucent 9500 MPR efficiently transports multimedia
traffic while guaranteeing the Quality of Service (QoS) that end users require.

The Alcatel-Lucent 9500 MPR packet radio addresses all microwave applications with a single product family —
from full outdoor to split-mount and nodal configurations — for hybrid and full-packet traffic, thereby enabling
the easy introduction of full IP base-stations such as Long Term Evolution (LTE) while leveraging the existing
infrastructure. The operator is now free to maintain its current mode of operation using the TDM/hybrid
model, and can start to migrate to packet as data traffic grows (boosted as well by IP-3G nodeBs and HSPA
where needed). Mobile service providers, private operators and carriers now have a new platform, adding
exceptional functionality to their networks.
