 White Paper: The Benefits of Migrating form SONET/SDH to Ethernet(940MB)
|
|
Backhaul, the transport of voice, video and data between the cell site and the carriers' Mobile Switching Center (MSC), is increasingly relying on fiber optic networks to handle the bandwidth necessary to support 3G/4G wireless and escalating mobile data and voice services (email, internet, video, etc.).
With its Gigabit Ethernet and TDM-over-IP capabilities, the JumboSwitch provides a future-proof solution for helping Service Providers to deliver end-to-end Ethernet and/or T1/E1 from cell sites to the MSC.
The JumboSwitch also provides Service Providers with several additional benefits such as optical and power redundancy, multiple power options, economical housing options and an industrial grade version that can confidently be used in the harshest of environments.
Because of its versatility, the JumboSwitch can be used to connect cell sites in a variety of configurations and topologies, including:
- As a primary IP-backbone self-healing ring network
- As a string or ring topology sub-network off of a JumboSwitch node
- As a sub-network off of a SONET/SDH multiplexer via GigE or T1/E1 interfaces
