Bandwidth Transport, Optimization and Protection for Wireless Backhaul: Meeting 3G & 4G Service Delivery Challenges

The legacy TDM/PDH1 based Network Infrastructure is moving to a packet based model characterized by ubiquitous native Ethernet connectivity to an IMS2 based core for the switching and transport of voice, data, and multimedia traffic. This white paper delves into the issues surrounding the transition of the wireless network to an Ethernet / IP architecture and discusses solutions that will enable equipment OEMs and their Service Provider customers to address the challenges they are facing in today's rapidly changing environment.
