Standalone or integrated

FlexiPacket Radio even works without dedicated cell-site units. This standalone capability comes in very handy for tail sites where microwave radio can feed straight into the Flexi BTS’ Ethernet interface. This zero-footprint solution for 3G, WiMAX, and LTE minimizes TCO by

Cutting CAPEX because you need •less equipment: A full system in an outdoor unit simply costs less than the standard indoor/outdoor setupOptimizing sites: With no need for •a cell-site unit, you can roll out a fully outdoor site

Experience matters

With FlexiPacket Microwave, you not only get state-of-the-art mobile backhaul components but also unrivaled know-how in mobile backhauling. Look to a leader in mobile backhaul solutions, radio access technology, and carrier Ethernet transport to provide the right stuff for microwave radio – Nokia Siemens Networks, your reliable partner in telecommunications.

Built to streamline and simplify

Low on up-front investments and high on operating savings, FlexiPacket Radio

Is scalable so you can use the same •platform throughout the networkSupportsefficientadaptive•modulation that lets you boost link capacity without having to redesign the microwave network

With our end-to-end management system, operating a packet network is as easy as running a TDM network. And that translates to real OPEX savings.

3FlexiPacket Microwave – The right solution for mobile backhaul

FlexiPacket Radio

Well-suited for mobile, fixed, and private transmission networks, this reliable and flexible microwave radio unit transports Ethernet traffic efficiently in 6 GHz to 38 GHz RF bands.

This packet microwave radio unit offers:Full scalability supporting •3.5/7/14/28/56 MHz channel bandwidth and modulation from 4 to 256 levelsBroad frequency coverage •from 6 to 38 GHzAdaptive modulation •

The FlexiPacket Radio outdoor unit connects directly to our Flexi BTS, which is particularly useful in 3G tail sites, as well as to any third-party indoor unit via a GbE standard Ethernet interface. The direct connection between the Flexi BTS and FlexiPacket Radio unit without an intermediary cell-site unit cuts CAPEX and OPEX, especially.

It may be used in standalone configuration – that is, without dedicated indoor units. This is particularly useful in tail sites, as it plugs straight into base stations. In 3G sites with Ethernet NodeBs, FlexiPacket Radio can be connected directly to the NodeB’s Ethernet interface.

The fully outdoor solution in the cell site and the compact node solution in hub sites reduce overall network CAPEX. FlexiPacket Microwave’s flexible architecture offers a real pay-as-you-grow proposition for hub sites. You can add outdoor units and indoor unit line cards as you see fit.

What’s more, the radio unit is scalable so the same platform may be used throughout the network to achieve both investment and operating savings.

Adaptive code and modulation let you make the most of the RF spectrum by transporting more traffic in the same radio channel.
