Nokia FlexiHub – more than just an indoor unitA new modular Nokia FlexiHub Node acts as an indoor unit for Nokia FlexiHopper XC, but can also function as a stand-alone hub. It supports up to four Nokia FlexiHopper XC outdoor units as well as several Nokia FlexiHopper outdoor units. Connection to the base station is either with E1 or Flexbus cable, thus providing straightforward connectivity when upgrading existing Nokia FlexiHopper sites to Nokia FlexiHopper XC.

Upgrading is further simplifi ed because the Nokia FlexiHopper XC outdoor unit can use the same antennas and antenna alignment units as existing Nokia FlexiHopper units – upgrading can be done by simply swapping the radio units.

Nokia FlexiHub XC is available in a standard 19 inch sub-rack to meet the needs of different sites. With an outdoor casing for the FlexiHub, Nokia FlexiHopper XC can be installed as a complete outdoor solution, for example stacked together with Nokia Flexi WCDMA Base Station.

Nokia FlexiHub XC also features built-in 2 Mbit/s cross-connection that enables changes to be made remotely, avoiding the costly and time-consuming site visits that other microwave radios need.

Simplifi ed network managementNokia FlexiHopper XC works seamlessly with Nokia NetAct™ network management system, which enables an operator to use the same system for both transmission and base station system monitoring. This eliminates the need to invest in a new management system. For situations in which an operator already has another management system installed, Nokia FlexiHopper XC supports standard SNMP management, which enables integration with most management systems.

The Nokia FlexiHub Manager is a graphical element manager for Nokia FlexiHopper XC. It enables remote confi guration, reducing the need for site visits to help operators achieve low network lifetime costs.

Advanced featuresNokia FlexiHopper XC has advanced features to ensure high quality transmission. These include:• Several protection methods: hot standby

and diversity options • One antenna solution for hot standby • Forward Error Correction (FEC) improves

radio performance in demanding conditions

• Automatic fading margin measurement and commissioning wizard to speed up installation

• Low power consumption ensures maximum running time on battery backup and minimizes energy costs

• Small square antennas for unobtrusive installation

• IP-based Engineering Order Wire (EOW) for VoIP telephone use
