The RTN series microwave radio is the first unified platform for TDM/Hybrid/Packet radio system in the industry. From GSM, UMTS to LTE, the mobile network evolves quickly and demands higher bandwidth to go with the All-IP trend. The microwave radio platform has become an ideal choice to help the smooth evolution of GSM/UMTS/LTE backhaul networks.
The RTN microwave radio platform can support the future All-IP applications, while ensuring that each type of traffic has the appropriate E2E QoS. The platform can also provide transmission modes (Native and PWE3/MPLS) for various types of service (TDM/ATM and Ethernet) on the same platform, greatly reducing TCO.
RTN900 series is a unified platform for TDM/Hybrid/Packet, including RTN 910, RTN 950 and RTN 980. The RTN 910, 1U-high with two RF directions, is mainly used for access layer. The RTN 950 is 2U-high with multi-RF direction and is mainly used at the convergence layer. The RTN 980, a 5U-high Nodal system, can converge max.14RF directions. All the RTN series microwave radio use the same type of ODUs and antennas.
Features
IP-Oriented Microwave Helps Network Evolution Towards All-IP Backhaul
As a unified platform for TDM/Hybrid/Packet modem, the RTN 900 platform supports smooth evolution, allows operators to choose the optimal technology and timing for the network migration from All-TDM to All-IP. Supporting both Synchronous Ethernet and IEEE1588v2, the RTN 900 platform meets the phase and frequency synchronization for GSM/UMTS/LTE, and operators can flexibly choose the optimal synchronization solution at each network transformation stage, instead of GPS.
Broadband-Oriented Microwave, Meeting Backhaul Capacity Expansion
The RTN 900 platform utilizes hitless adaptive modulation (AM) to adjust bandwidth and enhance spectrum usage. Compared with the fixed modulation mode, the AM technology can increase transmission bandwidth by up to 4 times and cut the spectrum expense.
Thanks to the XPIC and header compression technologies, the maximized capacity of one channel can reach over 2Gbit/s, providing large bandwidth for mobile backhaul. In addition, the radio LAG load balancing link aggregation in N+0 maximize the capacity; while Gbit/s capacity is achieved through microwave radio in traditional RF bands, meeting the bandwidth requirement of LTE.
Networking-Oriented Microwave, Reducing CAPEX and OPEX
With built-in MADM & packet processing platform and networking with multiple RF directions, the RTN 900 platform helps reduce CAPEX and OPEX, while enhancing operation efficiency. The RTN 900 platform also features unified NMS for microwave and optical equipments, and end-to-end service provisioning. Operators can enable end-to-end service management through simple clicks. With "zero footprint" deployment, the RTN 900 platform offers an ideal LTE micro-site solution.
