The Alcatel-Lucent 9500 Microwave Packet Radio (MPR) platform enables the smooth transformation of
transport networks from circuit to IP backhaul, 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) 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 node configurations — for hybrid and full-packet traffic, 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 TDM/Hybrid model and starting migrating to packet as
data traffic grows boosted by IP-3G nodeBs and HSPA where needed.
