Wireless Backhaul. Doing it Right:
Exploring Backhaul Topology Strategies
Thursday
November 18, 2010
11:00am ET/ 8:00am PT
The demand for new high-speed mobile data services has caused network planners to re-evaluate backhaul capacity requirements and TDM-to-packet migration plans. Their planning processes must take complex network topology considerations into account.
This webinar will spotlight microwave-based backhauling topologies. Selecting the right topology for wireless backhaul networks is an especially complicated task. We will take a close look at the advantages and disadvantages of tree and ring topologies paying special attention to cost considerations. We will bring an actual example of the backhaul requirements of a large South American mobile provider and explain how the Ceragon FibeAir® IP-10 microwave backhauling platform provided an adaptable solution to a range of topological models.
What Attendees will learn:
How to evaluate and maximize backhaul topologies for mobile backhaul
How to re-evaluate TDM-to-packet backhaul migration plans
How to recapture bandwidth from existing infrastructure without additional CAPEX
Who should attend:
Network Architects
Network Planners
Transmission and Operation staff
