Transmission
MINI-LINK™
Wireless Ethernet Interconnection
Many organizations around the world need fast,
flexible and easy ways of connecting data and
voice networks for offices at different locations.
Examples of such organizations are rapidly growing
or large enterprises, campus networks and govern-
mental administrations.
Ericsson – the world leader in microwave trans-
mission – now expands the MINI-LINK solution with
an Ethernet Interface Unit (ETU). It provides a highly
reliable, flexible and fast wireless interconnection
solution for LAN-to-LAN. The MINI-LINK with ETU
combines your datacom and telephony in the most
cost-efficient and easy way compared to leased
lines or other transmission solutions.
ETU
The ETU has one Ethernet interface for LAN connection.
It can be flexibly configured to any of the G.703 capaci-
ties 2, 8 or 34 Mbit/s. It is connected to a Modem Unit
(MMU) or a Switch Multiplexer Unit (SMU). Any additional
capacity of the MMU can be used for PBX-interconnec-
tion.
The ETU supports transparency for VLAN tagged
frames, full duplex Ethernet, auto-negotiation and full
duplex flow control for automatic data bandwidth regula-
tion.
The ETU is a plug-in unit to be installed in an indoor
Access Module Magazine (AMM).
