FlexiTrunk Microwave

FlexiTrunk Microwave

Nokia Siemens Networks’ FlexiTrunk Microwave is a digital high-capacity radio system, tailored for smooth software-definable migration from legacy Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH) to hybrid SDH/IP or all-IP transport on a single hardware platform.

We deliver market-leading flexibility and spectrum efficiency through modulation and capacity software upgradability, providing on-the-air Ethernet capacity up to 400Mbps in 28MHz Radio Frequency (RF) channel with a pay-as-you-grow model.

Highly compact and flexible, FlexiTrunk Microwave is the right choice for high-capacity transport networks where quick site deployment, fast service rollout and high reliability are always mandatory.

The FlexiTrunk Microwave system processes native Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) and native IP signals and transports them independently over the air without any type of mapping (e.g. neither Ethernet-over-TDM or TDM- over-Ethernet).

The same hardware transceiver can be selected by software as a native TDM or native IP device, allowing smooth, carrier-by-carrier, software-definable migration from legacy SDH networks to hybrid SDH/IP and to all-IP on the same hardware platform while conforming to international communications standards such as ITU-T, ITU-R and ETSI.

Our FlexiTrunk Microwave product helps you make more efficient use of your spectrum and accelerates your return-on-investment (ROI) by enabling fast service roll-out.

Easy upgrade with more efficient use of your spectrum

  • Smooth migration to full-IP, carrier by carrier software-definable on the same hardware platform
  • Wideband tunabilityby each single transceiver covering all the used channels
  • Software modulation upgradability up to 256QAM (ready for 512QAM/1024QAM) with adaptive modulation
  • Software capacity upgradability with up to 400 Mbps Ethernet throughput in 28 MHz RF channel with XPIC

Accelerating ROI by enabling fast roll-out

  • Fully outdoor site solution (“zero footprint”) to minimize site cost and time to service.
  • Best in class compactness and less power consumption (“green” site design)
  • Easy installation and maintenance with automatic line-up and commissioning and simplified maintenance.

The business benefits

  • Reduces TCO due to high scalability and spectrum efficiency
  • Accelerates return-on-investment by enabling fast service roll-out
  • Future proof investment through easy upgradability and evolution to all-IP backhaul

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.
