Alcatel-Lucent 9600 LSY Long-Haul Digital Radio Links
R EL E A S E 2
By combining high-quality microwave transmission with a cost-cutting modular design, the Alcatel-Lucent
9600 LSY enables flexible, reliable, cost-effective microwave systems for a wide range of long-distance, highcapacity applications. This advanced generation of SDH radio systems is fast and easy to deploy and offers
wide interoperability with other synchronous network elements. Its compact, modular design reduces power
consumption, simplifies maintenance and allows easy expansion that leverages network investment. Applications
include up to NxSTM-1 backbone links, STM-1/STM-4/STM-16 ring closure, backup for fiber optic systems,
radio spurs of STM-N backbones or rings, regional links in synchronous networks, additional Ethernet
transport, and efficient support for ATM/IP networks and LAN/WAN connections.
