Overview
Evolution Series™ LONG HAUL is a flexible microwave long distance system for all-indoor or split-mount installations.
High power transceiver units with combiner space diversity and hitless n+1 protection switching make the Evolution Series™ LONG HAUL an ideal choice for long distance transport networks.
The embedded optional X-connect combined with a wide range of user interfaces make the solution a complete multiservice long haul radio system.
Choice of SDH/SONET interfaces or the multichannel scalable Native Ethernet interface makes the migration strategy to all IP networks simple.
The Evolution Series™ LONG HAUL is based on the common platform concept of the Evolution Series™.
A common scalable hardware, simpler deployment, reduced spares needs and a common competence requirement, reduces the operation cost for the network operator.
The unique power efficiency of the Evolution Series™ LONG HAUL reduces the environmental foot print of the network.
Substantial cost savings is achieved due to reduced energy cost and reduced cost of site infrastructure such as airconditioners, batteries and solar panels.
The unique split-mount option makes the solution even more effective. By mounting the transceiver units outdoor in a low loss branching arrangement, the heat is removed from the building/cabin and the reduced waveguide loss improves the system availability.

Details
Evolution Series™ LONG HAUL can be configured as multi-channel link for SDH/SONET networks. Interface selection range from E1/T1/E3/DS3 and GbE/FE with the optional embedded X-connect, to STM-1/OC-3 and STM-4/OC-12.
LONG HAUL is also ideally suited for an all-IP/MPLS core network. The system can be configured with Gigabit Ethernet interface for multi-channel transmission with Link Capacity Adjustment Scheme. This optimised link aggregation technique allows for a single packet flow to be distributed over multiple radio channels.
Evolution Series™ LONG HAUL utilises a scalable Universal IFU with plug-in slots for radio interfaces as well as selectable user interfaces. Up to 5 IFUs can be stacked together in a single system.
