Huawei OptiX RTN 910 Microwave Transport Network
The RTN series IP microwave radio is an all IP designed radio system with key Ethernet
features supporting the Mobile Broadband Backhaul industry. Products include the RTN 905,
RTN 950 and RTN 980 which are based on a modular design that supports multiple microwave
radio paths in one platform.

The RTN microwave radio platform can support the future All-IP applications, while ensuring
that each type of traffic has the appropriate E2E QoS. The platform can also provide
transmission features that include high modulation, adaptive modulation, Ethernet Header
compression to help our customers lower the cost per bit transmitted, helping reduce TCO.
RTN900 series consists of the RTN 910, RTN 950 and RTN 980. The RTN 905, 1U-high with
one or two RF directions, is mainly used for access layer.. The RTN 950 is 2U-high with multiRF directions and is mainly used at the convergence layer. The RTN 980, a 5U-high Nodal
system, can converge up to 14RF directions + 1 Add / Drop interface. All the RTN series
microwave radios use the same type of Outdoor Units (ODUs) and antennas.

Features
LTE Ready, Helps Network Evolution Towards All-IP Backhaul
The RTN 900 leading TDM/Hybrid/Packet/Routing unified platform (4 modes in 1), supports
smooth evolution, allows operators to choose the optimal technology (TDM, native Ethernet,
MPLS-TP or L3VPN) and timing for the network with both Synchronous Ethernet and
IEEE1588v2, the RTN 900 platform meets the phase and frequency synchronization for
GSM/UMTS/LTE, and operators can flexibly choose the optimal synchronization solution at
each network transformation stage, instead of GPS.
Ultra Broadband, Meeting Backhaul Capacity Expansion
The RTN 900 platform utilizes hitless adaptive modulation (AM) to adjust bandwidth and
enhance spectrum usage. Compared with the fixed modulation mode, the AM technology can
increase transmission bandwidth by up to 4 times and cut the spectrum expense.
Thanks to the XPIC and header compression technologies, the maximized capacity of one
channel can reach 2Gbit/s, providing large bandwidth for mobile backhaul. In addition, the radio
supports Link Aggregation (LAG)/Physical link aggregation (PLA) in N+ 0 configuration to
maximize the capacity. The Gbit/s capacity is achieved through microwave radio in traditional
RF bands, meeting the bandwidth requirement of LTE.
Networking Solution, Reducing CAPEX and OPEX
With built-in Ethernet processing platform and networking with multiple RF directions, the RTN
900 platform helps reduce CAPEX and OPEX, while enhancing operation efficiency. The RTN
900 platform also features unified NMS for microwave and optical equipments, including endto-end service provisioning. Operators can enable end-to-end service management through a
simple point and click. And advanced TP-Assist solution, support the operation and
maintenance of operators metropolitan bearer networks as time division multiplexing (TDM)
networks develop toward packet networks , care frees OAM of packet network.

NOTE:

The OptiX RTN 910 provides a wide range of interfaces and service bearer technologies
to adapt to the regional backhaul network. The regional backhaul network can be a timedivision multiplexing (TDM) network or packet switching network (PSN).When three or
more microwave directions are required, cascade several sets of the OptiX RTN 910 or
use the OptiX RTN 950/950A/980 that provides more powerful functions and supports
more microwave directions.
o The OptiX RTN 910 supports the Ethernet over SDH (EoSDH) function, Ethernet
over PDH (EoPDH) function, and ML-PPP function. Therefore, packet services
can be backhauled through a TDM network.
o The OptiX RTN 910 supports the pseudo wire emulation edge-to-edge (PWE3)
technology. Therefore, TDM, ATM, and Ethernet services can be backhauled
through a PSN.
o The OptiX RTN 910 supports the VLAN sub-interface function. Therefore, MPLS
packet services can be backhauled through a Layer 2 network.
