Question 1

What does Ericsson's Smart MSE (Microwave Site Equipment) concept provide?

Accepted Answer

A unified platform that integrates microwave radio and IP routing/switching functions in a single node

Answer

A dedicated cloud server for OSS performance management

Answer

A cloud-based radio access controller for 5G NR

Answer

A standalone antenna alignment and calibration tool

Question 2

What is the capacity benefit of multiband microwave in Ericsson MINI-LINK deployments?

Accepted Answer

Multiple frequency bands are used simultaneously on the same link to aggregate higher total capacity

Answer

The number of physical antenna mounts required is reduced to one

Answer

Frequency coordination is no longer needed

Answer

Optical fiber fallback is automatically provided

Question 3

Which MINI-LINK product series is designed for high-capacity backbone and aggregation applications?

Accepted Answer

MINI-LINK 6000

Answer

MINI-LINK 100

Answer

MINI-LINK Access Point

Answer

MINI-LINK Lite

Question 4

What is the function of Carrier Ethernet transport in Ericsson microwave backhaul?

Accepted Answer

It provides standardized Ethernet services with defined SLAs, OAM, and protection across the backhaul network

Answer

It replaces all synchronization mechanisms in the backhaul

Answer

It enables satellite communication as a fallback path

Answer

It manages CPU load on remote radio units

Question 5

What does Space Diversity provide in an Ericsson microwave transmission deployment?

Accepted Answer

It uses two vertically separated antennas to mitigate multipath and diffraction fading

Answer

It enables communication links to low-earth orbit satellites

Answer

It automatically increases transmit power during rain fade events

Answer

It allows frequency reuse in adjacent microwave sectors

Question 6

How does Ericsson Network Manager (ENM) support MINI-LINK microwave node management?

Accepted Answer

ENM provides unified FCAPS management (fault, configuration, accounting, performance, security) for MINI-LINK nodes alongside RAN and core elements

Answer

ENM is used exclusively for core network packet gateway management

Answer

ENM manages only 5G NR radio units and has no microwave support

Answer

ENM replaces IP routing functionality in microwave networks

Question 7

What is the significance of Ericsson's Microwave Capacity Connect feature for operators?

Accepted Answer

It enables on-demand capacity upgrades via software licensing without requiring hardware replacement

Answer

It physically swaps radio units during peak traffic hours

Answer

It automatically connects microwave links to nearby optical fiber switches

Answer

It monitors competitor spectrum usage for interference avoidance
