Preface
The OptiX RTN 900 is a new generation split
microwave transmission system developed by Huawei.
It can provide a solution that is integrated with the TDM
microwave, Hybrid microwave, and Packet microwave
based on the network requirements. RTN 900 V1R1
support pure packet microwave, and RTN 900 V1R2
support TDM microwave and Hybrid microwave.
This course describes the network position, system
architecture, and hardware structure of the OptiX RTN

Network Position
The OptiX RTN 900 is a new generation split microwave transmission system developed by Huawei. It
can provide a seamless microwave transmission solution for a mobile communication network or
private network.
The OptiX RTN 900 products are available in two types: OptiX RTN 910 and OptiX RTN 950. The IDU
of the OptiX RTN 910 is 1U high and supports one or two IF boards. The IDU of the OptiX RTN 950 is
2U high and supports one to six IF boards. The users can choose an appropriate type based on the
actual requirements.
The OptiX RTN 900 provides several types of service interfaces and facilitates installation and flexible
configuration. It can provide a solution that is integrated with the TDM microwave, Hybrid microwave,
and Packet microwave based on the network requirements. It supports the smooth upgrade from the
TDM microwave to the Hybrid microwave, and from the Hybrid microwave to the Packet microwave.
The solution can evolve based on the service changes that occur due to radio mobile network
evolution. Thus, this solution can meet the transmission requirements of not only 2G and 3G networks,
but also future LTE and 4G networks.
RTN 900 V1R1 support pure packet microwave, and RTN 900 V1R2 support TDM microwave and
Hybrid microwave.

IFU2 - Functional Block Diagram
The working principle and signal flow of
the Packet microwave IF signals are
similar to the working principle and signal
flow of the Hybrid microwave IF signals.
The only difference is with regard to the
frame structure. In the case of the Packet
microwave, the MUX/DEMUX unit only
multiplexes/demultiplexes the packet
services and does not transmit the TDM
services to the cross-connect unit or
receive the TDM services from the cross-
connect unit.

EM6T/EM6F - Functions and Features
The EM6T/EM6F is an FE/GE interface board, which provides four FE electrical
interfaces and two GE interfaces. The EM6T has similar functions to the EM6F. The only
difference is as follows: the GE interfaces on the EM6T always function as electrical
interfaces whereas the GE interfaces on the EM6F use the SFP modules and therefore
can function as two optical or electrical interfaces. The GE electrical interfaces on the
EM6F and the EM6T are compatible with the FE electrical interfaces.
The EM6T/EM6F accesses, processes, and aggregates four FE signals and two GE
signals. In R2 version, the backplane service bus is 1G.
