2G and 3G over IP RAN

2G and 3G over IP RAN

Your Needs
Deliver 2G and 3G services over an IP RAN (radio access network) to lower backhaul costs and prepare for next generation mobile broadband deployments.

Our Solution
RAD’s multiservice backhaul gateways allow operators and transport providers to lower their transport costs for 2G and 3G traffic by smoothly transitioning to packet networks. The best-of-breed ACE-3xxx gateways aggregate traffic from 2G and 3G base stations and transparently deliver it over IP RANs, thereby enabling the use of economical Ethernet, IP and MPLS backhaul while supporting existing infrastructure and services. Featuring comprehensive pseudowire functionality and advanced synchronization capabilities, including Synchronous Ethernet and 1588-2008, RAD’s 2G and 3G over IP RAN solutions ensure voice and data service quality at SDH/SONET levels.

Benefits:

• Unify multi-generation service delivery over a single network


• Lower OpEx by migrating to low-cost packet RAN


• Deploy future-proof solutions supporting next-generation upgrades without equipment forklifts

2G Mobile Backhaul over PSN

2G Mobile Backhaul over PSN

Your needs
Backhaul 2G mobile traffic over low-cost PSN (packet switched network) using T1 and E1 access line, while ensuring reliability for real-time voice services.

Our Solution
RAD's IPmux-24 TDM pseudowire access gateway allows mobile operators and transport providers to deliver GSM and CDMA traffic from 2G BTSs over packet backhaul. Working opposite the Gmux-2000 hub-site pseudowire access gateway and featuring standard pseudowire and synchronization capabilities, the IPmux-24 regenerates the original clock transmitted by the BSC and eliminates the need for costly clock source at every base station. By conforming to G.823/G.824 jitter and wander requirements, as well as providing better than 16 ppb clock accuracy, these 2G mobile backhaul over PSN solutions enable the migration of mobile services to next-generation networks while maintaining voice service quality.

Benefits

• Supports a smooth transition to economical packet transport to reduce mobile backhaul CapEx and OpEx


• Allows mobile operators to continue delivering GSM services to their existing customer-base while rolling out new 3G/3.5G mobile broadband offering
