Significant cost saving can be
achieved by combining several radio
directions in one box.
Up to 8 radio directions can be
handled in Evolution Series
DXC can handle
PDH radio tail links
Microwave radio ring
with embedded DXC &
SNCP protection
Scalable capacity 20 - 311
Mb/s

PDH mode (E1 DXC) or

SDH mode (VC-x DXC)

Seamless integration from PDH to

The DXC unit has a capability to X-connect 4 traffic directions (RIU or LIU).
The DXC frame has a capability to X-connect 8 traffic directions (RIU or LIU, max. 4 RIUs)
Each of the coloured lines in the diagram represents a main data bus. It is a STM-1 frame and
transports the traffic to/from the DXC, the RIUs and the LIUs.

For R9A in radio repeater

configuration there is no need for

be routed between RIUs directly
saving HW cost.

Special configuration: 1+0 Etherlink

The Ethernet Port B (ETH2) usage is
configuration dependent:
When the SU is configured for Ethernet over the
radio hop, then port B is the physical interface for
this connection.
The first release support following:
Ethernet bridging
One 10 / 100 mbps port
Proprietary mapping into VC-4, and
using STM-1 across the radio
connection.
