About This Manual
Welcome to 9500 MXC
The 9500 MXC Microwave Radio System comprises Node and the Terminal
variants. Both are split-architecture radios with an antenna-mounted outdoor unit
and a rack-mounted indoor unit.
The 9500 MXC Node supports multiple point-to-point radios for PDH, SDH,
and/or Ethernet, on a single product platform, to form a complete network node
for star or ring configurations on frequency bands from 6 to 38 GHz.
The 9500 MXC Terminal is optimized for single-link installations or where
back-to-back network connection of terminals is preferred. Terminals may also
be used to spur from a 9500 MXC Node. Different versions are available for
PDH, SDH or Ethernet, on frequency bands 5 to 38 GHz.
