Networks Announces Wireless Broadband TDM Solution
|
| Broadband backhaul
solution delivers lower costs, higher reliability
for wireless service providers |
| |
| Milpitas, Calif.,
(January 11, 2006) – Aperto Networks,
provider of the world’s most advanced WiMAX
solutions for carriers, announced today the availability
and successful deployment of its Time Domain Multiplexed
(TDM) solutions for broadband wireless networks.
Used as a wireless backhaul for cellular networks
and enterprise access at distances up to 15 miles,
Aperto’s TDM solutions deliver flexible, low
cost alternatives to expensive fiber and leased
circuits. |
| |
| “Aperto’s
TDM solution gives cellular carriers the reliable,
cost-effective data backhaul they need to deliver
voice and data to their network gateways,”
said Manish Gupta, vice president of marketing and
alliances for Aperto Networks. “Wireless backhaul
networks scale easily as the subscriber base grows,
and provide backup and redundancy for increased
reliability. Aperto’s long-range wireless
broadband solutions transmit high amounts of data
at a fraction of the cost of traditional wired solutions.” |
| |
| The worldwide
market for TDM-based services such as GSM wireless
phone service continues to grow at a fast rate.
Aperto’s TDM solution has been validated for
point-to-point deployments backhauling cellular
traffic, allowing Aperto customers to take advantage
of the lower cost and service ubiquity of IP networks
for voice and traditional TDM based applications.
|
| |
| “Aperto
Networks is strongly committed to developing complete,
profit-generating solutions for our customers,”
said Gupta. “Our industry-leading TDM solution
will enable customers of our pre-WiMAX and WiMAX-certified
products to lower their costs and realize increased
revenues in their voice and data offerings.” |
| |
| The key technical
challenge in providing traditional TDM service over
broadband wireless links is the transport of a synchronous
service, such as a T1/E1 circuit, over the asynchronous
IP network. Data from a TDM bit stream has to be
encapsulated at the source, transported over a wireless
link, and received by a destination device –
while maintaining clock, synchronization, and framing.
As a consequence, the performance of the wireless
portion of the network is essential in successfully
delivering TDM services, such as voice or mission
critical data. Aperto Networks’ proven TDM
solution assures this performance. |
| |
| By emulating the
characteristics of T1/E1 wireline or fiber connection,
Aperto can deliver T1/E1 equivalent service wirelessly,
eliminate the need to lease lines or construct dedicated
lines to connect to TDM cellular towers. |
