Packet Backhaul ... timing is everything!
The combined need for greater bandwidth and lower costs have compelled mobile network operators to look for solutions that preserve their legacy voice infrastructure while taking advantage of the cost and scalability advantages that packet-based technologies (i.e., HSPA+, WiMAX, LTE) promise.
Backhaul providers who can offer a hybrid mobile backhaul solution built on a packet-based technology capable of scaling to support the growing demand for data hungry 3+G/4G services while allowing integration of TDM to support legacy 2G/3G voices services will have a competitive advantage.

Migrating to Ethernet is becoming increasingly recognized as the best transport technology to address these high-speed requirements. However, while transport providers are migrating to support new broadband handsets, such as the iPhone, Palm-Pre, Blackberry, Android, etc., they also need to provide support for older handsets.
A major hurdle to this migration is the fact that Ethernet was not optimized for real time applications like TDM-voice, video as well as call handoff between base stations which all require precise synchronization.

Telco Systems Solution
We understand the issues providers face in migrating the RAN. In addition to synchronization, there is also reliable CoS mechanisms and provider operational challenges to overcome.
We offer unique solutions to deal with these issues, delivering a flexible migration path to packet backhaul while integrating legacy TDM services where needed.
These solutions fit transparently into the provider's network offering a cost effective means to deliver IP services while lowering "cost per bit" and delivering precise timing, tremendous bandwidth scalability and advanced traffic management required for migration to high bandwidth WiMAX, HSPA+ and LTE services.
