Alcatel-Lucent 3DB18326AC 04 9500 MPR microwave packet radio Microwave Radio

The Alcatel-Lucent 3DB18326AC 04 is the Core Enhanced Module (CORE-E), a 6x GbE core control and management card for the Alcatel-Lucent 9500 MPR (Microwave Packet Radio) platform, used in the MSS-4 and MSS-8 shelf variants. The 9500 MPR is Alcatel-Lucent’s widely deployed IP microwave packet radio system for mobile backhaul and fixed access networks, combining Carrier Ethernet switching with point-to-point microwave transmission in a single node. The CORE-E card provides the core switching, control and management function within the MSS shelf, coordinating the radio, tributary and interface cards that make up the node and providing six Gigabit Ethernet ports for network-side connectivity. This part is used by network operators and field engineers to maintain or repair existing 9500 MPR nodes, replacing a failed core control card to restore node switching and management without needing to replace the whole shelf. Because it is a core, specific control card for the 9500 MPR platform, it is intended for operators already running 9500 MPR infrastructure who need a confirmed like-for-like replacement matched to their shelf configuration and hardware revision (04).
