Advanced Microwave Transport Solutions for IP Mobile Backhaul

Wireless Backhaul for LTE/WiMAX Networks

Today, network operators all over the world are facing the challenge of how to update their networks to reduce CAPEX and OPEX spending, while simultaneously enabling capacity growth and improving quality of service.

Network capacity growth requirements need to be accommodated with little insight in terms of future applications and bandwidth needs.

Microwave transport solutions from Harris Stratex Networks provide the migration path that operators need from existing TDM-based infrastructure to all-Ethernet/IP.

Highly scalable capacity supports future traffic growth, while resilient link and network architectures maintain traffic under the toughest conditions.

Native Mixed Mode transport supports new high-efficiency Ethernet/IP services with low latency, while also maintaining existing TDM E1 circuits for 2G BTS connections and synchronization support.
