Abis Optimization

Your Needs

Optimize Abis transport between existing GSM cell sites and base station controllers and reduce operating expenditures (OpEx), by improving backhaul efficiency for costly satellite links and long-distance GSM/GPRS backhaul connections.

Our Solution

RAD’s ACE-3200 cell site gateway for Abis optimization and Vmux-400 Abis protocol optimization gateway enable operators to improve GSM backhaul efficiency where bandwidth is constrained or expensive, such as over international leased lines, satellite and microwave links. By multiplexing the traffic from underutilized E1 circuits and optimizing the Abis protocol, the ACE-3200 and Vmux-400 can reduce the number of E1 trunks required for BTS-BSC backhaul by 50% and more, freeing up the backhaul connection for additional traffic or next generation services.

Benefits

• Reduce cellular transmission bandwidth while maintaining service quality

• Enable controlled introduction of early 3G services with no additional capital investments

• Save on colocation costs with smallest devices in the market

• Support optimization for any codec: HR, FR, EFR, AMR

• Allow full service coverage by supporting data, GPRS and EDGE over multiple timeslots

• Data compression enables further bandwidth savings

• Facilitate interoperability with equipment from major switch vendors

• Eliminate need for external GPS clocking with clock regeneration over Ethernet transport
