Figure 1 shows the Huawei OptiX RTN 320F Application Scenarios.
Huawei OptiX RTN 320F provides these features:
(1) Ultra-High Bandwidth and High Spectral Efficiency
• Large capacity: provides 2.5 Gbps service capacity per link.
• High bandwidth:
- ETSI: 7 MHz, 14 MHz, 28 MHz, 40 MHz, 56 MHz, 112 MHz
- FCC: 30 MHz, 40 MHz, 50 MHz
• High modulation scheme: provides a modulation scheme of up to 4096QAM.
• AM: supports adaptive modulation (AM) to ensure the transmission of high priority services.
• Frame header compression: supports use of the frame header compression function to significantly increase bandwidth utilization for Ethernet services carried over microwave links.
• Flexible deployment: supports collaboration between the OAU 2F and the dual channel XMC-5D ODU or the single-channel RTN XMC-3/2H ODU, as well as integrated installation and split installation.
• Scalability: supports use of XPIC, CA (hardware ready), and MIMO (hardware ready) to increase the capacity of a single frequency. This facilitates network upgrade and improves spectrum efficiency.
• Software-based capacity expansion: When the OAU 2F works with the dual channel ODU, 1+0 can be upgraded to 2+0/XPIC through software. This simplifies configuration and facilitates capacity expansion.
(2) Flexible Link Configuration and Full-Range Protection
• Link configuration: 1+0, 2+0, 2 x (1+0), XPIC
• Link-level protection: 1+1 HSB/SD/FD, PLA/EPLA
• Service-level protection: LAG protection
• Network-level protection: ERPS
(3) Easy Deployment & Maintenance
• Supports zero footprint installation, quick deployment, and easy maintenance.
• Supports connection to NEs at a site through WLAN, implementing contactless maintenance.
• Supports mobile commissioning and configuration during site deployment, making operations convenient.
• Supports use of the NCE to implement E2E management, such as service deployment and real-time performance monitoring.
