[. . . ] Alcatel-Lucent 9500 Microwave Packet Radio (ETSI Markets) The Alcatel-Lucent 9500 Microwave Packet Radio (MPR) provides cost-effective IP transformation for seamless microwave transport of TDM, ATM, IP and Ethernet traffic over a Carrier Ethernet infrastructure. The steady increase of data services in backhaul networks results in high capacity and costs if addressed with traditional TDM or hybrid microwave systems. The Alcatel-Lucent 9500 Microwave Packet Radio (MPR) packet-based platform is a multiservice aggregation platform that uses Circuit Emulation Service (CES) (MEF 8) and Pseudowire (PWE3) to seamlessly transport TDM and ATM with no radio-performance degradation, providing a Carrier Ethernet microwave-transport infrastructure and introducing the required flexibility to carry more capacity with lower costs.

This allows sharing of a common packet-transmission infrastructure, regardless of the nature of the traffic carried. Mapping of different access technologies over Ethernet is achieved with standardized protocols. A single transmission pipe is used for all services and access technologies on cell sites. Radio bandwidth is utilized at 100 percent. In contrast, TDM radio stacks multiple data streams (E1, Ethernet) over the radio channel and underutilizes a large portion of the bandwidth. Moreover, hybrid platforms do not provide circuit emulation or ATM pseudowire.
