Wireless Backhaul
The growing demand for bandwidth hungry services is putting increasing pressure on the existing backhaul infrastructure. The traditional leased lines and microwave solutions are expensive and do not scale well. Therefore network operators must introduce next generation technologies, whilst still supporting legacy voice services.
Partnered with Juniper Networks and Turin Networks, Imtech Telecom Global offer wireless backhaul solutions for cell sites, metro backhaul networks and aggregation sites.
The majority of remote wireless base stations connect to the backhaul network via PDH circuits (typically, T1s or E1s). These PDH circuits may be used to backhaul traffic directly from the cell tower to the mobile switching centre, or they can connect into microwave radios at the cell tower for backhaul to hub site locations, which aggregate the traffic over a SONET or SDH optical transport network back to the mobile switching centre.
Juniper Networks
Based on Juniper’s M-series router, the multi-access gateway BX-series has been specifically designed for the demands of the cell site. THE BX-series interfaces to common up-links, including T1/E1, DSL and Ethernet interfaces. It reliably transports TDM, ATM & packet traffic over IP/MPLS with a wide range of timing sync options and is easy to deploy.
Turin Networks
For wireless backhaul solutions Imtech utilise Turin's MASTERseries smart integrated access device (SIAD) for A-bis optimisation, and the Traverse multi-service transport switch for Ethernet, packet-based optimisation over PDH circuit-based wireless backhaul networks.
The MASTERseries SIAD performs cell site base station traffic aggregation traffic management and A-bis bandwidth optimization for transport over PDH or Ethernet backhaul network connections to the cell site.
The Traverse platform provides high-density traffic aggregation grooming and switching of TDM and Ethernet over PDH traffic at the mobile switching centre and at hub sites in a SONET/SDH or carrier Ethernet transport network.
The TransNav Element Management System is an advanced management system designed to support comprehensive control, fault, configuration, accounting, performance and security monitoring. Through a feature-rich GUI (graphical user interface) operational and support personnel can control, configure and trouble shoot their network of Turin products.
