Flex I Hopper

Nokia FlexiHopper Microwave Radio
exible wireless transmission
Nokia FlexiHopper and Nokia

FlexiHopper Plus are reliable and
flexible microwave radios for all
transmission needs in mobile,
fixed and private networks. Nokia
FlexiHopper is available on a wide
frequency range from 7 to 38 GHz and
complemented by the 58 GHz band
Nokia MetroHopper, which uses
the same indoor units as Nokia
FlexiHopper. Short lead time supports
fast deployment of Nokia FlexiHopper.
Nokia FlexiHopper Plus radio supports the
modern 4-level /4-DQPSK and 32 TCM
modulation methods, allowing an operator
to choose the modulation best suited for
a specific hop. While /4-DQPSK is more
robust, 32 TCM modulation halves the
required frequency channel width, which
can reduce the regulatory frequency fee and
takes advantage of the better availability
of narrower channels. Nokia FlexiHopper
supports only /4-DQPSK modulation.
Flexible to meet future demands

Nokia FlexiHopper supports all capacities,
2x2, 4x2, 8x2 and 16x2 Mbit/s, as standard.
Both outdoor and indoor units are

independent of capacity, which helps to
keep lifetime costs low through easy
and inexpensive capacity upgrades.
The selectable modulation of Nokia
FlexiHopper Plus adds a new level of
flexibility, which protects operator
investments in the face of changing
regulatory requirements and frequency
congestion.
Being modular, Nokia FlexiHopper indoor
unit can be extended and its configuration
changed easily and cost-effectively.
Nokia FlexiHopper includes optionally an
Ethernet interface to enable IP-traffic to
share the same hop with TDM-traffic and
with flexible capacity, to meet future
demands arising from the growth of
IP-traffic in networks.
Transmission you can rely on

More than 100,000 Nokia FlexiHopper
microwave radios are being used by
operators on all continents. Actual field
return rates show high Mean Time
Between Failure (MTBF) values of
110 years for indoor units and 35 years
for outdoor units. Such figures are

convincing evidence that operators can
rely on their transmission network.
Reliability is designed into Nokia
FlexiHopper by using highly integrated
circuits. A single indoor unit supports up
to four outdoor units, while integrated
cross-connection eliminates external
cabling and further improves network
reliability. No E1-cabling is required on
sites using Nokia base station integrated
indoor units. Reduced cabling brings
additional benefits by lowering the cost
of cabling and by increasing the speed
of installation.
Intelligent indoor units

Nokia FlexiHopper has several different
indoor units to match each operators
needs. There are specific indoor units for
Nokia base stations, as well as generic
19-inch rack indoor units.
All indoor units feature built-in crossconnection that enables changes to be

made remotely, avoiding the costly and
time-consuming site visits. The indoor
units also support up to four outdoor
units, which saves site space.
The Hopper Manager, graphical element

manager, enables Nokia FlexiHopper to be
configured remotely, which reduces the
need for site visits to help operators
achieve low network lifetime costs.
Advanced features
Network management
Nokia FlexiHopper supports Nokia
NetAct management, which enables an
operator to use the same system for both
transmission and base station system
monitoring. This eliminates the need to
invest in a new management system. If an
operator already has another management
system installed, Nokia FlexiHopper can
support standard SNMP management.
Nokia FlexiHopper includes advanced

features to ensure high quality transmission:
Several protection methods: hot standby,
space diversity, frequency diversity and
polarisation diversity
One antenna solution for hot standby
and dual polarisation
Dual polarisation option gives
32x2 Mbit/s transmission capacity
using single antenna and indoor unit
Forward Error Correction (FEC)

Automatic fading margin measurement
and commissioning wizard to speed up
installation
Advanced Automatic Transmit Power
Control (ATPC), Nokia patented Adaptive
Level Control with Quality measures
(ALCQ) which minimises interference but
ensures transmission quality regardless
of the weather
Low power consumption ensures
maximum running time on battery
backup and minimises energy costs
Small square antennas for unobtrusive
installation
Engineering Order Wire (EOW) for
service telephone use
