Wireless Broadband Training - Course 1:
Exploring IP / Ethernet Backhaul
Instructor Led | Duration: 2 Days
Register
The 4th generation (4G) of wireless technologies promises a much higher air interface data rate (over 100 Mbps) to users while reducing the cost per bit for wireless service providers. The current T1/E1 backhaul will not be able to support the high data rate with reasonable costs. The backhaul is already becoming the bottleneck in the existing 3G networks and will continue to be a challenge for emerging 4G networks. These networks require IP based broadband backhaul solutions. This course provides the background and solutions for IP backhaul planning for 3G/4G radio networks, starting with a review of the trends in 3G/4G wireless data services and related backhaul challenges. An overview of IP/MPLS is given since it is seen as an emerging technology for backhaul operation. Finally, deployment considerations and a backhaul migration path are discussed along with an exercise to calculate the backhaul requirements.
