MINI-LINK Deployment

Project Overview

Celnet managed a large-scale Ericsson MINI-LINK microwave deployment across multiple U.S. markets. The program involved over 2,000 sites, requiring precise coordination, integration with existing transport infrastructure, and adherence to an 18-month rollout schedule.

Scope of Work

  • Deployment of Ericsson MINI-LINK IDU 6651/6653 and ODU 6363 equipment
  • Site planning and multi-location rollout coordination
  • Integration with legacy MINI-LINK nodes (6600, 6366 series)
  • System performance testing and verification
  • Close-out documentation and compliance reporting

Execution Highlights

Site selection optimized geography and budget parameters. Multiple field teams executed parallel installations of split-mount IDU/ODU configurations, ensuring compatibility with existing infrastructure. Integration testing confirmed node-to-node communication and transport capacity. Rollout maintained strict milestone tracking with regular progress reviews. Complete documentation packages delivered within 12 hours of each site completion.

Results

  • 2,000+ sites deployed within 18-month timeline
  • Full integration across heterogeneous MINI-LINK platforms
  • Maintained schedule and budget parameters throughout execution
  • Enabled carrier close-out and acceptance processes through standardized documentation
