Nodal solutions

We changed the landscape of the wireless transmission industry when we introduced Eclipse, a microwave radio platform with a nodal architecture. Built-in nodal features, such as add-drop multiplexing and cross-connection, enable network operators to design far more flexible networks at significantly lower cost than with previous architectures.

Nodal solutions also enable Super-PDH™ capacity scaling, offering a low-cost alternative to SONET and SDH transport. Nodal architecture allows operators to enjoy significant cost savings up front and reduced operating costs through the life of the equipment.

Nodal cost advantages

• Less PDH equipment and cables
• No SONET or SDH equipment required
• Reduced rack space requirement
• Faster deployment
• Simplified spares holdings
• Pay for the capacity used only
• Easy software-configurable capacity upgrade
• Smooth upgrade path from TDM to all-IP
