Cellular backhaul

In area s w ith dens e cellular coverag e,

network operators can experience

CAPEX sa vings by deploying fixedw ireless ba ckhaul to the bas e sta tions.

In a ddition, OPEX will also be

significantly reduced, since the to tal

number of radios to be operated is

reduced to almost ha lf the number

capacity of 256 Mbps @ 28 MHz

or 512 Mbps @ 56 MHz (single

polarisation).

• Highly cost effective infrastructure

and customer premises equipment.

• Fast packet-based data transmission

and toll quality for de lay and jitter

sens itive t elephony.

• Eas y-to-use SNMP-based remote

mana gement system, enabling simple

unit configuration and multiple

simulta neous unit upgrading.

Nera MultiLink supports ba sically a ll

acce ss services over a w ide range of

netw ork interface s including end-to-

en d ATM and IP QoS. The pro duc t fa mily

matches the requirements for rapid

impleme nta tion, large sca lability and

low cost o f ow nership.

Nera MultiLink enables operators to

offer enhanced value-added services

w ith carrier-class performa nce, and

thus improve the business case

significa ntly. IP, ATM, Ethernet, Lea sed

Line a nd TDM voice ca n be provided

over one single system.

Ea sy insta lla tion Nera MultiLink I

and III are rema rkably compa ct a nd

spa ce-saving solutions. A single coa xial

cable connects indoor and outdoor

units for both ba se a nd terminal

sta tions. This feat ure ensures

insta lla tion s implicity a nd relia bility.

Simple insta llation ena bles e fficient

re-deployment and network

modifications according to new

demands in a dynamic market-place.

Consequently, new ma rket

opportunities ca n rapidly be exploited

using Nera MultiLink sys tem so lutions.

Maximum flexibility The mo dula r

a rchitect ure o f Nera MultiLink solutions

creates a highly scalable performance

with upgrades according to the current

dema nds. Traffic can ea sily be adde d or

rerouted without the need to visit the

installat ion. Remo te re-configurat ion

and softw are upgrades minimise

operational cos t.

Nera MultiLink I is pa rticula rly flexible

w ith regards to interfaces and ca n

support a wide range of services in

different network platforms.

Nera MultiLink system components

Nera MultiLink I and III both share the

sa me ba sic configuration. This consists

of base s tation indoor and outdoor

units and terminal station indoor and

outdoor units.

Nera MultiLink I ba se units

The Nera MultiLink I ba se st a tion is

structured on a multiple ba se unit

principle. This ena bles the deploym ent

of a multiple carrier scheme providing

ea ch ca rrier w ith a 1.75 MHz slice of

the spectrum. Each ba se unit connects

the bas e sta tion backbone to the IF

MUX which in turn connects via a

single c oa xial ca ble to the RF unit

and antenna.

Nera MultiLink I terminal units

Typically insta lled a t the cust om er site,

the t erminal units deliver a w ide range

of data and voice services betw een

the base stat ion and customer

te rminals. The term inal indoor unit (IDU)

is eas ily connec ted t o the RF unit a nd

antenna by a single coaxial cable.

The IDU is e xtremely compa ct and ca n

be rack mounted, w all mounted or sit

discreetly on a desk top.

Up to three telecom interfaces can

be provided, co vering E1, V35/X21,

Ethe rnet 10/100Bas eT a nd ISDN-BRI.

Nera MultiLink III base units

The Nera MultiLink III ba se st a tion is a

single, sta nda rd ETSI she lf w ith 16 slots

and supports a traffic capacity of up to

3.5 Gbps. The 16 slots in this highly

flexible unit can be customised to meet

the specific service and network needs

of individual custom ers. Connectivity

follow s the sa me system as Nera

MultiLink I. The b a se st a tion is a lso

ava ilable in a sta nd-alone unit forsmaller system configurations.

This gives a very com petitive so lution

w ith a low entry cost for a system .

Nera MultiLink III terminal units

Whilst it sha res the s am e bene fits o f

compact size and simple installation as

Nera MultiLink I, this unit has a grea te r

interfac e ca pa city. The Nera MultiLink III

IDU is e quipped w ith one 10/100 Ba se T

and four or eight E1 interface s.
