In The Core

Backhaul of Wireless Data – a.k.a. Fiber To The Tower (FTTT)
September 27th, 2007 / 1:30 PM Eastern (10:30 AM Pacific)

Discovering Opportunities within the Challenges

Wireless service providers and carriers supporting wireless service providers will especially want to attend LightRiver’s latest webinar exploring the Challenges and Opportunities associated with implementing and operating a Next-Generation FTTT Backhaul network. Click here to register.

As growth in the North American wireless market nears complete practical penetration, service providers face a fiercely competitive market.

  • Voice revenue is flat to declining
  • Service delivery costs are
    increasing
  • New market share must be captured from the competition (more costly to acquire than first-time wireless customers)
  • Leased T-1’s are not solving the backhaul problem

Beyond the business and competitive challenges, network operators also face technological challenges that cannot be ignored when delivering the products and services demanded by the business side of the house. Some of the technical challenges that need to be addressed, include:

  • Tighter Delay Tolerances
  • Tighter Jitter Tolerances
  • Planning for unknown future
  • Joining multiple architectures - Ring and Hub & Spoke Access
  • Migrating current network to Ethernet and IP

With the proper planning now, you can be poised to capitalize on the opportunities created by
bandwidth-hungry applications.

The latest mobile services are packet-focused, very bursty, and require significantly more bandwidth
than can be provided by a T1 based network. Operators are evaluating several options to improve
scalability, quality of service, and cost-performance.

Please join us Thursday, September 27th, at 1:30PM EST to explore the challenges and opportunities
associated with Backhaul Solutions for FTTT networks.
