Mobile operators’ networks are increasingly under pressure today, especially the network’s backhaul portion. Demand for new bandwidth hungry services is stretching the existing infrastructure, while declining average revenue per user inhibit investment. 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. Operators need a new approach to mobile backhaul—one that is scalable, flexible, cost effective and ensures a smooth migration to future technologies. To meet these needs, IPnett partners with Juniper Networks and has introduced the BX7000 Multi-Access Gateway.
The BX7000 reliably transports TDM, ATM and packet traffic over IP/MPLS using pseudowire technology. Designed for the space and environmental constraints of the cell site, the BX7000 features common uplink types such as copper, Ethernet and DSL to support both legacy (2G and 3G) and next generation (WiMAX and LTE) mobile technologies.
Juniper Networks MX Series Ethernet Services Routers and EX Switch range including virtual chassis on the EX4200 makes a perfect ethernet centric mobile backhaul solution.
