TL Trunk Link is SIAE solution for

long haul and high capacity microwave
SDH networks. TL series supports the
whole range of frequencybands from
4 GHz up to 13GHz according to
ITU-R channel plans.
TL series is based on a full indoor
structure providing scalable data rates
from 1 to 14 STM-1 in a single ETSI
rack.

MSTU MAIN SIGNAL

TRANSMISSION UNIT
The adopted high integration allows to
package in a single board (MSTU) the
Transmitter (TX), Receiver (RX),
Mo-demodulator and base band
functions. Minimization of frequency
dependent spare part has been
achieved using of wide-band techniques:
MSTU can cover a complete half band.
Easy operation and maintenance:
no adjustment or provisional settings
are required.
