XO Communications deploys BridgeWave's FlexPort80 linksJan 20, 2011 (Datamonitor via COMTEX) -- BridgeWave Communications, a supplier of 4G backhaul solutions, has announced that XO Communications has deployed BridgeWave's FlexPort80 links to provide high-speed wireless network connectivity for customers not directly connected to the XO nationwide fiber network. XO Communications offers advanced IP communications and high-performance network services for more than 90,000 customers. Faced with increased enterprise customer demand for gigabit network speeds from customers lacking direct fiber connectivity to the XO network, XO Communications needed a network infrastructure wireless transmission product providing high-capacity backhaul that simultaneously supported both legacy TDM voice traffic and increasing amounts of IP traffic. To meet these needs, XO Communications has deployed BridgeWave's FlexPort80 because of the product's ability to provide full-rate gigabit speeds, as well as its ability to effortlessly support both native TDM and IP traffic without the mandate for pseudowire or other third party devices. With the use of a single all-outdoor unit, XO Communications can combine their backhaul needs with their existing network resulting in an extremely cost effective and easy to manage solution. "In addition to the right balance of product features and high performance, one of the biggest differentiators is BridgeWave's impeccable customer support. The deployment was seamless and the service team worked with us to ensure success," said Joe Vazquez, senior manager of wireless engineering at XO Communications. "We see BridgeWave as an integral part of our gigabit network solution set delivered using our nationwide wireless spectrum assets." http://www.datamonitor.com Republication or redistribution, including by framing or similar means, is expressly prohibited without prior written consent.
