Microwave Radio style
– decoupling capacity and cost
with flexible evolution
Nokia FlexiHopper™ XC Microwave Radio extends the capacity of
the reliable and flexible Nokia FlexiHopper family right up to 80Mbit/s.
This microwave radio range is well matched to transmission networks
of all types, including mobile, fixed and private networks. The Nokia
FlexiHopper XC radio supports both 4-state and 16-state modulations,
allowing the operator to choose the modulation best suited to a specific
hop and achieve the highest area-based spectral efficiency and capacity
in dense urban networks.
Nokia FlexiHopper XC Microwave
Radio provides efficiency and
capacity to meet the increasing
data demand in mobile networks.
Nokia FlexiHopper XC provides
operators with a cost-effective
evolution in capacity, spectrum
utilization as well as traffic
aggregation capabilities enabled by
the nodal indoor unit concept.
Straightforward, cost-effective
capacity upgrades
Nokia FlexiHopper XC supports
all capacities up to 40 x 2 Mbit/s
through highly cost-effective
software upgrades, which help keep
lifetime costs as low as possible.
The selectable modulation of Nokia
FlexiHopper XC adds a new level
of flexibility, which protects operator
investments in the face of changing
regulatory requirements and
frequency congestion.
The Nokia FlexiHopper XC radio
supports both 4-state and 16-
state modulations, allowing the
operator to choose the modulation
best suited to a specific hop and
achieve the highest area-based
spectral efficiency and capacity in
dense urban networks. The radio
also meets the capacity demands
of operators faced with the growth
of data-traffic in networks. Nokia
FlexiHopper XC is ready for the data
future and enables packet traffic to
be shared with TDM traffic in the
same hop.
Reliable transmission now and
into the future
Hundreds of thousands of Nokia
FlexiHopper microwave radios are in
use on all continents. Field statistics
have proven the systems’ high
availability even in most demanding
conditions. For the most critical
connections, Nokia FlexiHopper
XC architecture enables a multifold
increase of link availability by
duplicating only the outdoor units.
