Title



Introduction Are you looking to build an advanced Ethernet-based mobile backhaul network minimizing costs and time to service?

FlexiPacket Microwave product gives you a quick and cost-effective way to transition your network to all-IP backhaul. Us programmable software that supports both hybrid and full-packet traffic modes, you can choose any evolutionary path from legacy Time Division Multiplex (TDM)-based to all-IP backhaul, us a single platform with up to 1 Gbps per carrier across the entire transport network. This innovative and cost-effective microwave product family includes the follow: FlexiPacket Radio/MultiRadio – fully Outdoor Unit (ODU) featur a standard GE UNI interface. Its softwareprogrammable design provides operation for both hybrid and full-packet traffic mode as well as capacity upgrade up to 1 Gbps per carrier. FlexiPacket FirstMile 200 – cost-effective peripheral switch optimized for backhaul networks’ tail and chain sites. Provides operation for both hybrid and full–packet traffic mode. FlexiPacket Hub 800 – best-in-class ultra-flexible nodal switch, support up to 12 different directions in one unit for both small and large microwave hubs. Its software can be configured for both hybrid and full-packet traffic mode.

Advantages: 

Transport Modules for Mobile Base Station (BTS) integration– allow enhanced zero footprint sites by combining our Flexi Base Station product family and FlexiPacket MultiRadio fully Outdoor Unit.



FlexiPacket Microwave products help you evolve to all-IP backhaul, makes your network more efficient and delivers best-in-class network performance and end-user experience.

Evolving to all-IP backhaul 

Full-packet transport makes it the ideal choice today for High Speed Packet Access (HSPA)+ and Long Term Evolution (LTE) backhaul



High modulation levels for throughput capable of handling HSPA+ and LTE capacity requirements



Reuse of large parts of the infrastructure (e.g. no change in antennas, etc.) leverages past investments



Pre-tested interoperability with packet technology partners guarantees tailored solution and best fit between access and aggregation areas



Software-configurable capacity up to 1 Gb/s per carrier



Hybrid to full-packet software definable migration

Making your network more efficient 

Most integrated site solution (“zero footprint”) minimizes site cost and time to service



One programmable platform for all applications throughout the entire transport network



Fully outdoor radio with GE UNI Metro Ethernet Forum (MEF) standard interface

Occupational Health and Safety Every Service Supplier (SeS) work on every site must have their company Health and Safety file with them. They must possess an updated Letter of Good Stand with the Compensation Fund Act as proof of compliance. The follow items must be defined in the SeS Health & Safety File:          

Updated Letter of Good Stand Project Scope of Work Health and Safety Specifications Risk Matrix Methodology & Baseline Risk Assessment Appointments in accordance with Occupational Health and Safety Act Procedures in accordance with Occupational Health and Safety Act Safe Work Instructions Registers and Checklist of Tools and Equipment Health and Safety Plans Incident and Report in accordance with Occupational Health and Safety Act.

As a general Health & Safety rule, NSN have come up with regulations on the proper hoist of equipment: RF antenna, transmission links, RF modules, etc. be done during network rollout. Strict compliance on these regulations must be observed at all times. Failure to do so will have correspond sanctions. Please find below attached files for strict compliance:
