MPR-e and MSS-1c User Manual 3DB19901EFAA Edition 01 137
The MPT-HC/HC-HQAM/XP/XP-HQAM/9558HC (Microwave Packet Transport) is
Microwave Equipment capable of transporting Ethernet traffic over an RF radio channel.
For MPR-A, the MPT-HC using the 5.8 GHz channel is referred to as the 9558HC.
The MPT-HC/HC-HQAM/XP/XP-HQAM/9558HC includes a waveguide antenna port,
one electrical GE interface for data and power, one SFP port for optical Ethernet data, a
maintenance connector (with captive protection cap) for RSSI access, and a grounding
stud.The 1 GE interface for RPS is not used.
The MPT-HC/HC-HQAM/XP/XP-HQAM/9558HC can be natively Ethernet powered
through a proprietary PFoE.
The MPT-HC V2/MPT-XP/9558HC can host an external module (RPS module for 1+1
configurations or XPIC_RPS module for XPIC and/or 1+1 configurations. MPT-HC-
HQAM/XP-HQAM transceivers include integrated XPIC and RPS functions. No hardware
modules are required. An RTU software upgrade is required to enable XPIC functions. The
1+1 for MPR-e standalone configuration is not supported in the current release). RPS and
XPIC are not supported with MSS-1c.
The MPT-HC/HC-HQAM/XP/XP-HQAM/9558HC can be rapidly installed on an
integrated antenna or on standard poles, wall or pedestal mount, with an appropriate
fastening system. The pole mounting is the same from 6 to 38 GHz.
The MPT-HC V2/MPT-XP/9558HC (with a solar shield) or MPT-HC-HQAM/XP-HQAM
(solar shield is not required) incorporates the complete RF transceiver and can be associated
with an integrated or separate antenna.
The cabinet is a very compact and robust weatherproof (IP 67) container, designed to be
compatible with hot and very sunny climatic zones.
The MPT-HC/HC-HQAM/XP/XP-HQAM/9558HC is fixed by means of quick-fastening
latches. This system allows the MPT-HC/HC-HQAM/XP/XP-HQAM/9558HC to be
changed without altering the antenna position.
Two mechanical solutions are adopted:
1. with embedded diplexer for cost optimisation (6 and 11 to 38 GHz), shown in
Figure 3.48, where the diplexer is internal to the MPT ODU cabinet; this type of MPT
ODU is identified by one Logistical Item only.
Table 3.38 lists the MPT ODUs that can support an embedded diplexer.
