MINI-LINK Point-to-point
MINI-LINK High Capacity

 Compact high capacity microwave radio solution
for voice and data transmission at 155 Mbit/s
 Member of the MINI-LINK portfolio with high
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 stand-
alone compact, cost-optimized radio terminal on
end sites or together with the Traffic Node concept
in configurations for aggregation sites.
MINI-LINK High Capacity

 Frequencies: 7 - 38 GHz
 Capacity: 155 + 2 Mbit/s
 Modulation: 16 QAM, 128 QAM
 Traffic Interfaces: STM-1, OC-3, E1 (way-side)
 Configurations:
 1+0 and 1+1 (radio)
 Typical hop length: 20-30 km

 Other features:
 ATPC (Automatic Transmit Power Control)
 IP DCN
 EEM (Embedded Element Manager)
MINI-LINK E Classic
 Medium capacity microwave radio terminal
optimized for end sites in a microwave network
and for separate microwave links
 It is an indoor concept comprising an access
module magazine with plug-in units combined with
an outdoor part including a radio unit and an
antenna module.
 Typically used for backhauling in mobile networks
but is also used in fixed, private, enterprise and
municipality networks
MINI-LINK E Classic
 Capacities: 2x2 – 17x2 Mbit/s
 Modulation: C-QPSK, 16 QAM
 Traffic Interfaces: E1, E2, E3, T1, 10/100BaseT
 Configurations:
 Split or all out-door
 1+0 and 1+1 (radio)
 Typical hop length: 50 km

 Other features:
 ATPC (automatic transmit power control)
 Capacity agility (software controlled)
 Up to 4 modems in one AMM
MINI-LINK E Traffic Node

 The new 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.
MINI-LINK E Traffic Node

 Capacity:
 2x2 –17x2 Mbit/s (radio)
 400 x 2 Mbit/s (switching)
 Modulation: C-QPSK
 Traffic Interfaces: E1, E2, E3, STM-1
 Configurations:
 1+0 and 1+1 (radio)
 1+1 E1 SNCP, MSP 1+1 (line)
 Typical hop length: 50 km

 Other features:
 Capacity agility (software controlled)
 IP DCN and EEM
MINI-LINK Point-to-multipoint
MINI-LINK BAS
 Ericsson´s point-to-multipoint product. It combines
ATM transport and microwave radio technologies
in order to build wireless access 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.
 The system is very suitable for data traffic both for
business access and also backhaul for next
generation mobile systems.
MINI-LINK Point-to-multipoint
MINI-LINK BAS
 Capacity:
 37.5 Mbit/s/sector (radio)
 530 & 874 Mbit/s (switching)
 Modulation: C-QPSK
 Traffic Interfaces: E1,T1, ATM (STM-1, E1),
Ethernet (10/100 Base-T)
 Configurations:
 1+0 and 1+1 (radio)
 Typical sector range: up to 6 km (Pmp)

 Other features:
 IP DCN and EEM
 Dynamic capacity allocation

MINI-LINK Management
MINI-LINK Manager
 MINI-LINK Manager is a network element
management tool for centralized supervision, NMS
operation and maintenance of all types of MINI-
LINK networks, consisting of point-to-point as well
as point-to-multipoint equipment. Multiple sub-
networks are supported as well as multiple
operator workplaces.
 The MINI-LINK Manager provides an extensive set
LCT
of functions for fault, performance, configuration
and security management.
