FlexiPacket Microwave

Are you looking to build an advanced Ethernet-based mobile backhaul network minimizing costs and time to service?

Our FlexiPacket Microwave product gives you a quick and cost-effective way to transition your network to all-IP backhaul. Using programmable software that supports both hybrid and full-packet traffic modes, you can choose any evolutionary path from legacy Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) -based to all-IP backhaul, using a single platform with up to 1 Gbps per carrier across the entire transport network.

Our innovative and cost-effective microwave product family includes the following:

FlexiPacket MultiRadio – fully Outdoor Unit (ODU) featuring a standard GE UNI interface. Its software-programmable design provides operation for both hybrid and full-packet traffic mode as well as capacity upgrade up to 1 Gbps per carrier.

FlexiPacket FirstMile 200/220 – cost-effective peripheral switch optimized for backhauling networks’ tail and chain sites. Provides operation for both hybrid and full –packet traffic mode.

FlexiPacket Hub 800 – best-in-class ultra flexible nodal switch, supporting up to 12 different directions in one unit for both small and large microwave hubs. Its software can be configured for both hybrid and full-packet traffic mode.

Transport Modules for Mobile Base Station (BTS) integration– allowing enhanced zero footprint sites by combining our Flexi Base Station product family and FlexiPacket MultiRadio fully Outdoor Unit.

Our FlexiPacket Microwave products help you evolve to all-IP backhaul, makes your network more efficient and delivers best-in-class network performance and end-user experience.

Evolving to all-IP backhaul

  • Full-packet transport makes it the ideal choice today for High Speed Packet Access (HSPA)+ and Long Term Evolution (LTE) backhaul
  • High modulation levels for throughput capable of handling HSPA+ and LTE capacity requirements
  • Reuse of large parts of the infrastructure (e.g. no change in antennas, etc.) leverages past investments
  • Pre-tested interoperability with packet technology partners guarantees tailored solution and best fit between access and aggregation areas
  • Software-configurable capacity up to 1 Gb/s per carrier
  • Hybrid to full-packet software definable migration

Making your network more efficient

  • Most integrated site solution (“zero footprint”) minimizes site cost and time to service
  • One programmable platform for all applications throughout the entire transport network
  • Fully outdoor radio with GE UNI Metro Ethernet Forum (MEF) standard interface

Delivering best-in-class network performance and end-user experience

  • End-to-end (E2E) point and click service provisioning and performance monitoring
  • Quality of Service (QoS) enforcement for user and service differentiation
  • Industry-leading E2E packet synchronization

The business benefits

  • Reduces TCO by same programmable microwave all over the network
  • Protects your investment through increased spectrum efficiency and easy evolution to all-IP backhaul
  • Minimizes footprint and time to service with “green” design
  • Saves OPEX with simplified service provisioning and performance monitoring
  • Improves subscriber retention and loyalty with a better end-user experience

Why Nokia Siemens Networks?

We offer a complete portfolio of microwave solutions for access, aggregation and core networks including end-to-end network management.

In our long and successful presence in the microwave market, we have installed over one million microwave radios worldwide and have helped many of you migrate to IP/Ethernet services while leveraging your traditional TDM/Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH) and Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) services.
