Alcatel-Lucent 9500 MXC Microwave Cross-Connect
A flexible, multiservice wireless transport platform for medium- to high-capacity mixed traffic
Offering a new generation of digital, point-to-point microwave radio capabilities, the Alcatel-Lucent 9500 MXC provides an effective way to meet the
growing demand for high-capacity applications. This compact platform supports SDH/SONET and "super PDH" applications up to 75 E1 with
higher flexibility afforded by its integrated cross connection capabilities. It can also support fixed applications such as DSL and WiMAX backhauling, due
to its multiple interfaces, including PDH, SDH and Ethernet with integrated layer-2 switching. The Alcatel-Lucent 9500 MXC is a reliable, complete,
homogeneous series, from 6 GHz to 38 GHz. Its unique network management capabilities serve both small and large networks, and its compact design
enables easy installation, while ensuring that maximum commonality is achieved across frequencies and capacities.
