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

Smart MSE consolidates microwave radio transport and IP packet switching into one platform, reducing site footprint and simplifying operations.

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

Multiband microwave aggregates capacity from two or more frequency bands (e.g., 18 GHz + E-band) on the same link, multiplying available throughput beyond what any single band can deliver.

Question 3

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

Accepted Answer

MINI-LINK 6000

Answer

The MINI-LINK 6000 series targets backbone and aggregation layers requiring high capacity, advanced QoS, and carrier-grade Ethernet transport.

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

Carrier Ethernet defines service types (E-Line, E-LAN, E-Tree), SLA parameters, OAM functions, and protection mechanisms to deliver carrier-grade reliability over Ethernet.

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

Space Diversity separates two receive antennas vertically so that multipath fading rarely affects both simultaneously, and a combiner selects or combines the stronger signal.
