iPASOLINK 400A Features / Function

Converged Packet Radio for LTE Backhaul

• iPASOLINK is the first set of products developed within NEC's Intelligent Converged Platform

Design Concept

• Any transport of Native Ethernet for 3G/LTE and Native TDM for 2G and mix for risk-free migration
• Optimized, scalable and high capacity link throughput
• High-level resiliency for carrier-grade services
• Transmission over both microwave and optical
• Carrier-grade migration from TDM to full IP Backhaul
• Application flexibility and software upgradeability

Reassurance for future changes in network capability

• Application flexibility with universal card slots and a range of functional modules
• Easy addition of functionality with pay-as-you-need software upgrades
• Reuse of existing PASOLINK – No.1 microwave product – with backward compatibility

Advanced technology for carrier-grade services

• High throughput with high modulations, wide channels and cross-polarization
• Ultra-high-capacity radio with XPIC technology in 1U ultra-compact size unit
• Flexible and high resiliency radio configuration, N-way, 1+1 and N+0
• High system gain with advanced error correction and new amplifier technology
• High level of packet networking functionality: Ethernet, PWE, MPLS, IP
• Advanced multi-service QoS support for TDM, Ethernet and IP with microwave adaptive modulation and excellent header compression technology
• Ethernet OAM for fault management and performance monitoring
• Multiple clock sources: external, synchronous Ethernet and legacy TDM synchronization

Optimised cost of ownership

• Low CAPEX as technology convergence reduces the number of hardware units
• Low OPEX with enhanced remote management and control
• Low OPEX of reduced maintenance due to high engineering quality
