MINI-LINK Point-to-point
MINI-LINK High Capacity
Compact high capacity microwave radio solution
for voice and data transmission at 155 Mbit/s
Member of the MINI-LINK portfolio with high
reliability, fast network roll-out, cost-effective
solutions and easy installation and maintenance
procedures. Furthermore, MINI-LINK High
Capacity utilizes the same antennas and
accessories as MINI-LINK E.
MINI-LINK High Capacity can be used as a stand-
alone compact, cost-optimized radio terminal on
end sites or together with the Traffic Node concept
in configurations for aggregation sites.

MINI-LINK Point-to-point

MINI-LINK E Classic
Medium capacity microwave radio terminal
optimized for end sites in a microwave network
and for separate microwave links
It is an indoor concept comprising an access
module magazine with plug-in units combined with
an outdoor part including a radio unit and an
antenna module.
Typically used for backhauling in mobile networks
but is also used in fixed, private, enterprise and
municipality networks

MINI-LINK Point-to-point
MINI-LINK E Traffic Node
The new Traffic Node concept is specifically
designed for smart and cost-effective nodes,
aggregating all the traffic from a number of
southbound links into a northbound link.
It provides advanced non-blocking traffic routing
and multiplexing between multiple medium and
high capacity radio terminals.
A solution for an aggregation site consists of Basic
Node and medium capacity radio terminals, which
comprise plug-in modem units and outdoor parts
that are common with the classic concept. It can
also be combined with MINI-LINK High Capacity
radio terminals.
Traffic Node concept is optimized for microwave
solutions with advanced traffic handling on
aggregation sites.

MINI-LINK Point-to-multipoint
MINI-LINK BAS
Ericssons point-to-multipoint product. It combines
ATM transport and microwave radio technologies
in order to build wireless access networks for
broadband services and mobile access
transmission.
In a multipoint topology the air interface is shared
among many terminals, thus enabling statistical
traffic multiplexing.
It provides 37.5 Mbit/s in a 90-degree sector.
The system is very suitable for data traffic both for
business access and also backhaul for next
generation mobile systems.

MINI-LINK Management
MINI-LINK Manager
MINI-LINK Manager is a network element
management tool for centralized supervision,
operation and maintenance of all types of MINI-
LINK networks, consisting of point-to-point as well
as point-to-multipoint equipment. Multiple sub-
networks are supported as well as multiple
operator workplaces.
The MINI-LINK Manager provides an extensive set
of functions for fault, performance, configuration
and security management.
