

Compact high capacity microwave radio solution for voice and data transmission at 155 Mbit/s

Member of the MINI-LINK portfolio with high reliability, reliability, fast network roll-out, cost-effective solutions and easy installation and maintenance procedures. Furthermore, MINI-LINK High Capacity utilizes the same antennas and accessories as MINI-LINK E. MINI-LINK High Capacity can be used as a standalone compact, cost-optimized radio terminal on end sites or together with the Traffic Node concept in configurations for aggregation sites.







The new Traffic Traffic Node concept is specifically designed for smart and cost-effective nodes, aggregating all the traffic from a number of southbound links into a northbound link. It provides advanced non-blocking traffic routing and multiplexing between multiple medium and high capacity radio terminals.  A solution for an aggregation site consists of Basic Node and medium capacity radio terminals, which comprise plug-in modem units and outdoor parts that are common with the classic concept. It can also be combined with MINI-LINK High Capacity radio terminals.

Traffic Node concept is optimized for microwave solutions with advanced traffic handling on aggregation sites.

Ericsson´s point-to-multipoint product. It combines  ATM  ATM transport and microwave radio technologies in order to build wireless access networks networks for broadband services and mobile access transmission. In a multipoint topology the air interface is shared among many terminals, thus enabling statistical traffic multiplexing.

It provides 37.5 Mbit/s in a 90-degree sector. sector. The system is very suitable for data traffic both for business access and also backhaul for next generation mobile systems.
