1.1 FlexiPacket MultiRadio Introduction
FlexiPacket MultiRadio is a reliable and flexible microwave radio, which efficiently
transports Ethernet traffic in RF bands from 6 GHz up to 38 GHz.
FlexiPacket MultiRadio can be used in different transmission networks: mobile
networks, fixed networks or private networks.
FlexiPacket MultiRadio is the evolution of the outdoor unit of Nokia Siemens
Networks FlexiPacket Micro-wave: a new packet microwave system designed to
meet the requirements of evolved transport networks with the target of minimizing the
operator Total Ownership Costs.
FlexiPacket MultiRadio joins together the benefits of an advanced scalable
microwave radio and of a real carrier grade Ethernet nodal solution.
FlexiPacket MultiRadio is the means of deploying a cost-effective microwave
infrastructure for 3G, WiMAX and LTE backhaul, high speed wireless Internet
networks, fixed broadband access backhaul and private wireless networks.
FlexiPacket MultiRadio is the right solution to design advanced mobile backhaul
networks based on Ethernet transport. The solution is conceived both for pure packet
and hybrid (TDM+packet) networks.

1.2 Full Packet and Hybrid Solution
FlexiPacket portfolio, beside Packet Networks scenario, will address Hybrid
applications in Microwave Backhaul (Fig. 2).
Hybrid (TDM separated from Packet traffic) will be supported by FlexiPacket
MultiRadio platform via specific software release, in conjunction with FlexiPacket Hub
800 Indoor Unit (via a dedicated sw for hybrid)
FlexiPacket MultiRadio is then able to perform Full Packet mode and Hybrid Mode
via Software Release change
In Hybrid mode, no PseudoWire Emulation is performed, TDM and Ethernet are
separately managed.

1.3.1 FlexiPacket Hub
FlexiPacket Hub is a carrier grade Ethernet switch, which supports multiple radio
directions.
The resulting solution is a best-in-class microwave radio node.
It offers advanced Ethernet processing features as well as maximum flexibility to
support TDM traffic via circuit emulation.
Access interfaces include Fast and Gigabit Ethernet, E1 and channelized STM-1.
Unique reliability is achieved thanks to state of the art component and support of
protected configurations, TDM tributary protection and Ethernet protection.
The FlexiPacket Hub, as part of the Nokia Siemens Networks Carrier Switches
portfolio, allows a smooth integration in a Carrier Ethernet Transport (CET) network,
ensuring end to end network design, including advanced QoS, Synchronization and
OAM.
Different hardware versions of the FlexiPacket Hub will be available:

1.6 FlexiPacket MultiRadio in stand-alone
configuration (Full Packet Mode)
The innovative outdoor unit design, with GbE standard interface, opens the way to
real cost optimization in the backhaul network.
FlexiPacket MultiRadio may be used in stand-alone configuration (i.e. w/o dedicated
indoor units), particularly useful in tail sites enabling direct interconnection to Base
Stations.
In 3G sites with Ethernet Node Bs, the FlexiPacket MultiRadio can be connected
directly to the Ethernet interface of the Node B.
The overall network CAPEX is minimized, thanks to the fully outdoor solution in the
cell site and the compact node solution in hub sites.
In hub site, a real pay-as-you-grow solution is guaranteed by the flexible architecture
of the FlexiPacket Microwave, both in terms of number of outdoor units and of indoor
unit line cards.
Moreover the scalability of the radio allows using the same platform throughout the
network, with both investment and operation savings.

2 FlexiPacket Radio System Overview
WARNING
Please, skip this chapter if the course is about the FlexiPacket MultiRadio
2.1 FlexiPacket Radio Introduction
FlexiPacket Radio is a reliable and flexible microwave radio, which efficiently
transports Ethernet traffic in RF bands from 7 GHz up to 38 GHz.
FlexiPacket Radio can be used in different transmission networks: mobile networks,
fixed networks or private networks.
FlexiPacket Radio is the outdoor unit of Nokia Siemens Networks FlexiPacket Micro-
wave: a new packet microwave system designed to meet the requirements of
evolved transport networks with the target of minimizing the operator Total
Ownership Costs.
FlexiPacket Microwave joins together the benefits of an advanced scalable
microwave radio and of a real carrier grade Ethernet nodal solution.
FlexiPacket Microwave is the means of deploying a cost-effective microwave
infrastructure for 3G, WiMAX and LTE backhaul, high speed wireless Internet
networks, fixed broadband access backhaul and private wireless networks.
FlexiPacket Microwave is the right solution to design advanced mobile backhaul
networks based on Ethernet transport. The solution is conceived both for pure packet
and hybrid (TDM+packet) networks.

2.2 Split -Mount Architecture
FlexiPacket Radio features split-mount architecture as reported in Fig. 3:
FlexiPacket Radio (a fully outdoor microwave radio)
FlexiPacket Hub (a Carrier Ethernet switch, which acts as hub).

2.3 FlexiPacket Hub
FlexiPacket Hub is a carrier grade Ethernet switch, which supports multiple radio
directions.
The resulting solution is a best-in-class microwave radio node.
It offers advanced Ethernet processing features as well as maximum flexibility to
support TDM traffic via circuit emulation.
Access interfaces include Fast and Gigabit Ethernet, E1 and channelized STM-1.
Unique reliability is achieved thanks to state of the art component and support of
protected configurations, TDM tributary protection and Ethernet protection.
The FlexiPacket Hub, as part of the Nokia Siemens Networks Carrier Switches
portfolio, allows a smooth integration in a Carrier Ethernet Transport (CET) network,
ensuring end to end network design, including advanced QoS, Synchronization and
OAM.
Different hardware versions of the FlexiPacket Hub will be available:
FlexiPacket Hub 2200 (Fig. 28 and Fig. 29), modular version for large hub sites
(only for the Full Packet Mode)
FlexiPacket Hub1200 (Fig. 30, Fig. 31 and Fig. 32), compact version for tail sites in
small hubs (only for the Full Packet Mode). It's available in two versions: Fixed
(Fig. 31) and Modular (Fig. 32).
FlexiPacket "FirstMile" (Fig. 33 and Fig. 34) is a compact indoor device optimized
for tail (one radio direction) and chain (two radio directions) applications.

2.6 FlexiPacket Radio in stand-alone configuration
The innovative outdoor unit design, with GbE standard interface, opens the way to
real cost optimization in the backhaul network.
FlexiPacket Radio may be used in stand-alone configuration (i.e. w/o dedicated
indoor units), particularly useful in tail sites enabling direct interconnection to Base
Stations.
In 3G sites with Ethernet Node Bs, the FlexiPacket Radio can be connected directly
to the Ethernet interface of the Node B.
The overall network CAPEX is minimized, thanks to the fully outdoor solution in the
cell site and the compact node solution in hub sites.
In hub site, a real pay-as-you-grow solution is guaranteed by the flexible architecture
of the FlexiPacket Microwave, both in terms of number of outdoor units and of indoor
unit line cards.
Moreover the scalability of the radio allows using the same platform throughout the
network, with both investment and operation savings.
