Technical Description Version 1.0 October 2007
1 Introduction
Alcatel-Lucent with its innovation of Microwave Packet radio has introduced for the
first time a Native packet microwave capable to be deployed on TDM network today
and have already all the required potentiality to move to a full packet network
9500 MPR in fact is a packet-based solution designed to address in native way networks
where packet based traffic is predominant, nevertheless supporting the still present
TDM/ATM traffic, which remains vital.
As capacity grows in the access the requirement for higher bandwidth support will be
needed in the backhaul as well as in the metro network. Alcatel-Lucent target to
address metro networks requirement with an MPLS based solution combined with
microwave packet transport. The result in the long run is a change in the backhaul
from PDH links to carrier Ethernet and in the Metro from SDH to carrier Ethernet MPLS
packet rings, and eventually to mesh networks.
9500 MPR represents the solution to allow smooth migration from the TDM world to the
packet domain in the Mobile Backhauling networks.
Exploiting the benefits of packet architecture vs. circuit architecture (Multiservice
aggregation, Service awareness, adaptive packet transport) in accommodating
broadband services, 9500 MPR allow the access equipment to evolve in line with the
new technology and related protocols (ATM/TDM/Ethernet) without the need of
renewal of an existing microwave site and protecting the already made investments.
9500 MPR is based on two separate elements: the MSS, an indoor service switch that
also operates as a stand alone aggregator and the Universal ODU as outdoor microwave
packet transport.
2.1
The 9500 MPR Node supports up to 6 RF links for operation on the same or different
frequency bands using the 8-slot MSS (MSS-8). The ODU for each link is connected to a
plug-in Radio Access card inside the aggregator. According to the last official AlcatelLucent equipment roadmap, other plug-in provide line interface access, management,
and auxiliary services. Line interface options extend from TDM to ATM, IP, and auxiliary
data. 9500 MPR Node supports a mix of non-protected and protected or diversity
operation for single link, repeater or star radio configurations.
9500 MPR together with all other Microwave and Optical transmission Network Elements
is fully integrated into 1350 OMS Network Management System providing all the tools
required operating the network. 9500MPR will be also managed in future by the 5620
SAM broadband manager shared with the Alcatel-Lucents IP product portfolios to
provide full management and provision of the network at service level.

9500 MPR also offers an innovative Software tool (TCO SW Suite) designed to
dramatically reduce the complexity of Installation and Commissioning operations,
reducing the associated effort and the skills of the involved people, with a direct
consequence benefit on the Total Cost of Ownership of 9500 MPR product.

With the TCO SW Suite, the Installation & Commissioning process is carried out in 2 steps:
The use of TCO tools (pre-provisioning tool) and embedded Web server allows saving time and
money in the Installation & Commissioning phase, for the following reasons:
Less skilled people are required on site. The person(s) that has (have) detailed
equipment and radio knowledge can work in back office and concentrate on the
configuration of NEs without losing time in traveling from site to site.
4 System Overview
4.1
System Component
Two separate units build 9500 MPR in the split mount architecture:
MSS: Indoor Unit for split-mount and stand alone configurations (Ethernet uplink)
ODU V2: universal Outdoor Unit for microwave uplink
MSS
It implements functionalities of grooming, routing, switching and protection, exploiting
a packet-oriented technology. It is a modular design through a variety of hot-swappable
plug in cards.
The MSS available is 2RU shelf to supports up to 6 ODU with traffic routed internally to
eliminate external tributary cable and patch panels.
The core platform, with multiplexing & symmetrical x-connection functions, is able to
manage different radio directions, with the possibility to add-drop tributaries in case of
local PDH/Ethernet accesses. Core platform is based on packet technology (Ethernet
Switch) with a generic interface serial 16 x GETH between Core and peripherals.

Support of ODU V2
ODU V2: QPSK to 256 QAM - 6 to 38 GHz
9500 MPR receives the Battery input through 2 power connectors mounted on the
chassis (slot 0) and connected directly to the Back plane.
Each board receives the Battery input (via Back plane) and provides adaptation to the
customer central power bus.
ODU V2
The ODU V2 supports capacities from 18xE1 to 136xE1 (40 to 300 Mbps) and modulation
rates 16QAM, 32QAM and 128 QAM without hardware change.
It makes full capacity migration possible without the need to climb towers.
ODU V2 is available for all licensed frequency bands from 6 to 38 GHz and is for use
with the MSS.
ODU V2 connects to the MSS via a single 50 coaxial cable, which carries transmit and
receive IF signals, telemetry overheads, internal controls and ODU DC power.
4.2
Peripheral Overview
The peripherals currently available are:
Core Module
Fan Unit
The different incoming traffics are converted into Ethernet packets before sending
them to the Ethernet switch, the packet overhead being removed before sent in the
air.
MSS-ODU300 connection is based on Coax cable
Full-protected configuration is available, including EPS, RPS hitless, HSB and Core
module protection.
Core Card
The Core Card provides the key node management, control functions and Ethernet
User traffic management.
The Front panel interfaces provides:
o
1 x Sync CK input via 1.0-2.3 coaxial connector that can be used as source for
1 x Sync CK output via 1.0-2.3 coaxial connector that provides the NE Clock
The Core Card also carries the Compact Flash Card, which holds the terminal SW
Configuration and Node License.

Fan Unit
The Fan module holds three fans. To have high reliability 3 fans are used with separate
alarms in order to understand the urgency (two or three fans failed) or the not urgency
condition (one fan failed).
4.3
Antenna Mount
ODU is attached to its antenna by a direct-mount collar, which includes a built-in
rotator for selection of vertical or horizontal polarization. For single antenna
protected, frequency diversity and 2+0 operation, a direct-mount antenna combiner for
two ODU is available.
A full range of direct-mount antennas is offered with diameters from 0.2m to 1.8m.
Remote-mount antenna kits are available for use with standard antennas of any
diameter.
As an aid to antenna alignment, the ODU includes receive signal level (RSL) access via a
capped BNC connector.
4.4
Protected Configuration
9500 MPR supports 1+1 protected configurations including Hot Stand-by and diversity
configurations.
For additional protection of MSS functions a Core Spare (same PN of Core Main) can be
added to provide Control platform redundancy and protection of aggregated data.
Hitless receive switching is provided for hot standby and diversity.
Two ODU, each with its own antenna are requested for space diversity.
A direct-mount coupler combines two ODU onto a single antenna to support hot standby
and frequency diversity.
The coupler is available with an unequal 6/1.5 dB or with an equal 3/3 dB split. Space
and frequency diversity can be combined to provide hybrid diversity.
