1.2 Application s
MINI-LINK is a member of Ericsson’s large and extensive product por tfolio for
telecommunications. The combined expertise of Ericsson, coveri ng switching,
cellular technology, radio and networking, provides excellent turnkey project
management. MINI-LINK integrates fully with existing telecom networks, adding
new levels of flexibility. It has proved to be a reliable communication medium, a
highly competitive alternative to copper and fiber cable.
MINI-LINK E and E Micro provides point-to-point microwave transmission from
2 up to 34+2 (17x2) Mbit/s, operating within the 7 to 38 GHz frequency bands.
They are briefly descr ibed as follows:
• MINI-LINK E comprises an indoor access module and an outdoor radio
unit with antenna. It offers flexibility and capacity at small sites as well as
large multi-terminal sites. Ter minals can be configured for different network
types: star, tree or ring. For protection, they can be configured either as a
1+1 system or as a ring structure.
• MINI-LINK E Micro is a compact all-outdoor ter m inal providing minimal
total site cost, typically used at end sites together with other all-outdoor
equipment.
A mobile transmission network is by far the most common application of
MINI-LINK E and E Micro, where they are deployed in the Low Capacity Radio
Access Network (LRAN).
