SRAL XD flexibility and versatility
greatly optimize all the upgrading

changes. A terminal can be easily
relocated without any hardware
modification simply re-shaping its
peculiar parameters on the new link
requirements.
Another important strong advantage
is represented by the extreme
compactness of SRAL XD Indoor Unit.
A single 44 mm high unit is sufficient
to implement any protected or
unprotected terminal configuration,
minimising the impact of
transmission equipment. But SRAL
XD family offers further possibilities
in order to face the problem of
station footprint, the most
troublesome matter for network
planners: integrating the indoor card
BTSs/ NodeBs for operators using
Siemens integrated solution.
This solution combines BTS/NodeB
and transmission in the same shelf,
eliminating any additional room
allocation for transmission systems.

MinIDU solution
System architecture

SRAL XD equipment is available in


Split Indoor and Outdoor Configuration;
both the IDU and the ODU have been
redesigned in order to reduce their
mechanical dimension respect to
the previous SRA L generation of PDH
microwave equipment. In fact, in
order to save room for the indoor
installation, the dimensions of the
IDU have been dramatically reduced,
moving the mo/demodulation
section to the ODU. As a result the
IDU able to provide protected
configurations is only 1U high.
In spite of this change the
dimensions of the ODU have been
reduced as well by adopting the state
of the art technology.

Plug-in
The Plug-in version adopts a modular architecture: the basic
configuration (1+0) consists of a controller, an access card and a base-
band card; in order to arrange protected/add drop repeater configurations,
an additional base-band card has to be added in the same shelf.
The Plug-in version is able to provide a full set of configurations/interfaces:
• (1+0)/ (1+1) Frequency Diversity/Polarization Diversity, Hot Stand-by,
2x(1+0)/Add-Drop Repeater Configurations
• payload interfaces: 2/4/8/16/32xE1

SingleBoard
The 1U high SingleBoard IDU is based on a single board architecture
characterised by a fixed set of functionalities. Four versions are available:
• up to 8xE1 (1+0)
• up to 8xE1 (1+1) Hot Stand-by
• up to 16xE1 (1+0)
• up to 16xE1 (1+1) Hot Stand-by

MinIDU
The MinIDU (Mobile Integrated IDU), based on a monolithic architecture,
is designed to be integrated in Siemens NodeB and BTS shelter.The
indoor unit handles the traffic directly coming from the hosting
BTS/NodeB without any external cabling and is capable to collect
additional traffic from co-located Base Station.

The MinIDU is available in two different versions:


• 8xE1(1+0)
• 16xE1(1+0)/(1+1) Frequency Diversity/Polarization Diversity, Hot Stand-by,
