As service providers and network operators sign new subscribers, roll out new services, and expand their reach, they are necessarily experiencing a coinciding increase in transmission capacity requirements. For cellular, WiFi , or WiMAX (News - Alert) networks, operators are constantly searching for alternatives to fiber backhaul, but they must meet stringent reliability metrics.
Ceragon Networks (News - Alert) has focused its attention on meeting those very needs, and offers backhaul solutions that are access type and network agnostic. The company’s featured product line is its FibeAir family, which provides high capacity wireless backhaul for the delivery of broadband services across IP and SONET/SDH networks. Ceragon has been in the wireless arena for more than a decade, having achieved several wireless “firsts” — like the inaugural solution for 155 Mbps transmissions at 38 GHz.
What really matters to operators, though, is that its FibeAir solution is not only cost effective and easy to deploy, but also scalable and future proof, and it is deployable with any type of access network.
Now, Ceragon has added to the robustness of its solution by integrating next generation wireless trunking in its FibeAir 3200T product— making it the first to provider N+1 capacity in both all-indoor and split installations without the need for separate components and installs. Because FibeAir 3200T is designed to enable converged voice and data services, it an ideal long haul solution for fixed or mobile backhaul, or for backbones.
In addition to offering switching protection features and high power, the 3200T solution offers native TDM and native Ethernet connectivity and other options adding to its flexibility — a must for today’s operators dealing with a mix of TDM and VoIP customers. It also is designed to improve hop length and enhance overall system reliability, both of tremendous benefit to providers looking to provide next generation services to customers.
“We continue to respond to customer demand for flexible solutions with improved total cost of ownership by introducing a next generation trunk solution,” said Aviv Ronai, chief marketing officer, Ceragon Networks, in a statement. “Extending our product portfolio to include the FibeAir 3200T significantly expands our addressable market to include all-indoor as well as split-mount configurations.”
