In a nodal station the cross-connection functionality
can be distribuited over a configuration of up
to eight different IDUs and each one can manage
up to two different ODUs.
Connection among IDUs are ring protected.
Failing one IDU, no other IDU in the node is affected
by loss of traffic.
Thanks to the IDU scalable approach and user
friendly software management, it is possible to
build up a nodal configuration through incremental
expansions (from one up to twelve or sixteen
different directions) with a reduce initial investiment.
High speed protected nodal bus, the unique nodal
solution to build complex nodes up to 16 indipendent
directions with a full pay-as you grow approach.

Evolutions of the RAN are the main driver for changes in
microwave products, like LTE requiring increased
throughput and densification of the network, Small Cell
and Cloud-RAN.
These changes lead to new technologies in the microwave
industry to improve capacity by using complex
modulation formats, dual carrier solutions, using new

The increased number of application segments demands for a spread of microwave
technologies in order to address each of the segments in an effective and efficient way. This
scenario brings to a higher complexity in microwave portfolio challenging for the
consistency of the overall network solution and streamlined roadmap.
SIAE MICROELETTRONICA answer is based on the adoption of a Unified Product Architecture,
a common Ethernet hardware and software platform through all new generation products
based on two main building blocks:
Ethernet Core unit based on powerful switching gear featuring 25 Gbps full duplex capacity,
high performance dual-core CPU and embedded IEEE1588v2 processor for frequency and
phase synchronization

The IDU can host a variety of interfaces (a mix of GE and Radio IF interfaces), for maximum flexibility when
interconnecting heterogeneous technologies. Up to ten interfaces can be equipped in single 1RU equipment allowing
reaching up to ten different directions. Higher level of connectivity is provided by supporting IDU stackability for nodal
