Functional description
MPT-HC V2/MPT-XP/9558HC 
The MPT-HC V2/MPT-XP/9558HC (Microwave Packet Transport) is Microwave 
Equipment capable of transporting Ethernet traffic over an RF radio channel.
For MPR-A, the MPT-HC V2 using the 5.8 GHz channel is referred to as the 9558HC.
The MPT-HC V2/MPT-XP/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 V2/MPT-XP/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. The 1+1 for MPR-
e standalone configuration is not supported in the current release). 
The MPT-HC V2/MPT-XP/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) 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 V2/MPT-XP/9558HC is fixed by means of quick-fastening latches. This 
system allows the MPT-HC V2/MPT-XP/9558HC to be changed without altering the antenna 
position.
Two mechanical solutions are adopted:
• with embedded diplexer for cost optimisation (6 GHz and 11 GHz to 38 GHz), shown 
in Figure 38., where the branching (diplexer) is internal to the MPT-HC V2 cabinet; 
this type of MPT-HC V2 is identified by one Logistical Item only;
