Product Feature
MDR-8000
O V E R V I E W
The MDR-8X06 is Alcatel-Lucent’s premier digital microwave radio for long-haul, point-to-point wireless communications. The flexible platform offers features designed to provide robust operation, while also reducing your total cost of ownership. With a common platform that supports virtually all frequency bands from 2-11 GHz, the MDR-8X06 operates in the lower and upper 6 GHz bands used by common carriers and private users in the United States and Canada, as well as upper 6 GHz frequencies used for television broadcast auxiliary service in the U.S. It also offers customers transmission	capacity from 2-32 DS1s, 1-3 DS3s, OC-3, and 10/100/1000 Base-T Ethernet, with the ability to upgrade capacity simply by changing Capacity Keys™. Wayside capacity provides an additional DS1 per each DS3-equivalent available in the system. Compact mechanical dimensions and low power consumption allow operators to place the MDR-8X06 in cramped spaces without sacrificing system performance and availability. This flexible and scalable architecture provides reliable wireless backbone communications for cellular operators, public safety agencies, railways, pipelines, utilities, local exchange carriers, television stations, and private enterprise.
