Introduction
1 Introduction
1.1 General
MINI-LINK is the world’s most deployed microwave transmission system.
The MINI-LINK TN R3 product family is the latest addition, offering compact,
scalable, and cost-effective solutions.
The system provides integrated traffic routing, high capacity traffic, PDH and
SDH multiplexing, Ethernet transport, ATM aggregation as well as protection
mechanisms on link and network level. The software configurable traffic routing
minimizes the use of cables, improves network quality and facilitates control
from a remote location. With the high level of integration, rack space can be
reduced by up to 70% compared to traditional solutions.
Configurations range from small end sites with one single radio terminal to large
hub sites where all the traffic from a number of southbound links is aggregated
into one link, microwave or optical, in the northbound direction.
