With more than 50 years experience in microwave transmission, Alcatel has strengthened its portfolio by adding the 9500 Microwave Cross Connect (MXC) to its wireless transmission solutions. A cost-effective solution requiring no external peripherals, it is designed to enable operators to evolve their network in line with their business needs. Offering a flexible architecture ready to transport IP and TDM services, the MXC provides an easy migration from legacy networks enabling operators to maximize their existing infrastructure investments and ultimately lower capital and operational expenditures.
It is ideally suited for mobile applications, featuring a single indoor/outdoor platform that links cell sites to the core network for mobile 2G/3G and WiMAX. In addition, the platform offers private operators the dual benefits of higher bandwidth at lower cost and delivers the higher quality of service required by metropolitan network operators. Explaining the rationale behind the introduction, Luis Antonio Martinez Amago, president of Alcatel's wireless transmission activities, commented, "This new Microwave Cross Connect is a low, medium and high capacity family of radio that complements our current microwave product portfolio, to provide Alcatel with the broadest and most extensive wireless offering on the market today. Its state-of-the-art concept and breakthrough features result in unsurpassed flexibility and tremendous cost savings to wireless access and wireless backhaul operators worldwide. Alcatel has the complete point-to-point and point-to-multipoint microwave portfolio to address the wireless needs of mobile, fixed and enterprise network operators worldwide."
