LTE, EPC & Converged Mobile Backhaul

The Magic of Converged Mobile Backhaul for LTE

 

 
Service providers are revamping their Backhaul strategies with the deployment of  LTE and LTE-Advanced, and with an eye on the real cost of capacity provided by Packet Microwave as one of the most cost-effective and rapid rollout solution to LTE backhaul.

Packet Microwave is the Next Generation microwave radios supporting ‘All-IP"architecture suitable for LTE and LTE-Advanced supporting:

• Native IP transport with built-in Layer 2 Ethernet switching
• Intelligent use of spectrum using Adaptive Coding and/or Modulation, combined with co-channel operation
• Legacy TDM traffic supported natively (hybrid) and/or using emulation technologies such as Pseudowire (PWE)
• Packet synchronization support (e.g., IEEE 1588v2, Synchronous Ethernet)
• Advanced OAM (Operations, Administration, and Management) to ITU-T Y.1731,IEEE 802.1ag and IEEE 802.1ah

Example of Available Channel Size(applied to LTE)

• 10 MHz
• 20 MHz 
• 100 MHZ

Modulation Format

• QPSK
• 16QAM
• 64QAM
•  256QAM

Example of Receiver Sensitivity
