Ericsson’s microwave offering consists of two products:  

• MINI-LINK TN, which provides transport technology flexibility and advanced integrated traffic handling

• Marconi LH, a compact high capacity trunk radio solution for SDH and Ethernet.

When it comes to microwave transmission, Ericsson is the undisputed market leader – in mid-2008, Ericsson held about one-third of the total microwave market. Ericsson has delivered more than 1.5 million MINI-LINK solutions around the world.

Ericsson’s microwave offering enables deployment, evolution and migration of networks in a cost-efficient, step-by-step fashion, and fully supports the concept of lowest cost of ownership.

The hardware is highly flexible, and the high production capacity, along with the ability to offer complete turn-key site solutions, enables quick and efficient roll out of individual hops or complete networks. Ericsson can deliver large quantities of equipment with short lead times.

This microwave offering is an important part of Ericsson Mobile Backhaul, which provides an end-to-end TDM and/or Ethernet backhaul solution that fully supports Ericsson’s vision of all-IP RAN over Ethernet.
