WEBINAR: Scaling The Backhaul for LTE, Quickly and Wirelessly
Wednesday December 8th, 2010 2:00PM ET/ 11:00AM PT

This webinar will take a look at LTE backhaul requirements and the role that Ethernet microwave can play as an integral part of the transport network, rather than just a simple extension.

The webinar will examine what are the necessary elements for LTE-ready microwave equipment. It will discuss techniques to get the most out of the scarce and costly spectrum, the role of QoS schemes and MPLS-TP in these networks, major packet synchronization techniques, and how to guarantee the cost efficient support of legacy services while ensuring a risk-free migration to LTE.
