1. Mini link :-
Mini link is a microwave solution used to provide microwave link between BSC & BTS.
Minilink microwave radios provide an efficient and rapid way of developing wide-
converge telecommunication networks. The use of Minilink is particularly suited for
cellular applications because of its flexibility concerning capacities, configurations and
space required. It also offers fast deployment in all project phases for planning to
commission. Minilink is ideal for quickly providing medium capacity-links in temporary
or permanent, mobile or fixed communication networks. It can be used anywhere within
the network, where one to seventeen 2-Mbps transmission lines are required. As there is
no need for heavy masts or towers, it can quickly be mounted on existing building or
structures.
2. System Overview
A MINI-LINK Network Element (NE) can, from a hardware and installation point of
view, be divided into two parts:
• Indoor part,
• Outdoor part
• Radio Unit
• Compact antenna
Indoor Unit
If the fault is of IDU / ODU, replace the faulty unit with spare, subject to spare
availability.
The faulty unit is handed over to the AMC holder for repair.
If spare is not available, the fault is registered at OMC-R (web site)
OMC-R, in turn, intimates the concerned vendor / AMC holder for rectification.
Monitors the corrective action taken by the vendor / AMC holder and acts
accordingly.
If the vendor / AMC holder does not take prompt action, the case is escalated to
the higher ups for ensuring speedy restoration.
