Fiber Backhaul

Mobile Backhaul over Fiber

Service Providers currently utilize T1/E1 lines for backhaul which results in extremely high monthly re-occurring T1/E1 fees and service charges for mobile backhaul besides not being adequate for the bandwidth requirements today. With Zhone FiberCell solution, Zhone customers are benefited with the option of copper and/or fiber based Mobile Backhaul options providing cost-effective backhaul bandwidth upgrades.

For fiber-ready cell sites, backhaul network upgrades can be implemented with GPON or AE enabled by the deployed MXK platforms in the operator’s network. Depending upon the network configuration, the transition from EFM to GPON or AE via deployed MXK platforms will enable exponentially more bandwidth capacity than existing alternatives with minimal network investment. Zhone’s fiber solutions offer low-latency and high-performance bandwidth capability for the network.

With packet backhaul becoming a necessity in today’s world of smart devices and increased bandwidth demands, operators investing in backhaul services can rely on IP-based platforms like Zhone FiberCell to offer added flexibility, deliver higher speeds, share resources, seamless management and cost-effective scalability. Timing is critical in mobile backhaul and Zhone FiberCell is designed to provide seamless service.

The reduced cost structure of Zhone’s backhaul services translate into optimized network traffic flow for the mobile operator and possible additional revenue for wireline service providers. With the creation of the Zhone FiberCell portfollio, operators will gain cost-effective alternatives to increase bandwidth capacity and face their challenges they currently face with network performance and optimization. Specifically, operators in all global regions will be able to leverage Zhone broadband access solutions to extend their fiber and copper investment and provide efficient wireless backhaul services for 3G and 4G networks.
