IP Mobile Backhaul
LTE-Ready Wireless Backhaul
Aviat Networks is a leading provider of microwave transmission technology used to meet the backhaul infrastructure needs of today’s mobile networks.
Our leading edge solutions feature the Eclipse Packet Node, which is a transformational high-speed wireless transmission solution that provides the intelligence and efficiency to gradually migrate mobile backhaul networks toward next-generation 4G, while preserving investments in and protecting revenue streams from existing 2G/3G infrastructure.
The backhaul challenge
Discriminating network operators are actively investing in advanced 3G/HSPA mobile broadband services while simultaneously preparing for and/or deploying 4G/ LTE networks. Operators need to fend off aggressive competitors and keep up with subscribers’ escalating bandwidth demands, while offsetting declining traditional voice revenues.
Unfortunately, many mobile operators lack the ability to add more capacity to their network without the risk of disrupting existing services. They may also struggle with inconsistent network performance due to capacity limits, limited backhaul spectrum availability and the need to maintain high-quality legacy TDM voice services. At the same time, operators must also prepare their network for the introduction of new high-speed Ethernet/IP-based services in an environment of constrained CAPEX and downward pressure on OPEX.
Aviat - the Network Migration Experts
Aviat provides complete wireless solutions to minimize the risk and cost of migrating backhaul networks from today’s TDM technology to the all-IP infrastructure of the future. Aviat’s advanced mobile backhaul solutions provide flexible support for all forms of TDM, Hybrid, and All-IP backhaul, supporting high capacity, superior network resilience, advanced Ethernet networking and synchronization, and a host of other related features. We are able to provide a qualified team of local migration experts with a relentless focus on customer satisfaction to enable smooth IP transformation, while protecting existing investments.
