If you missed RAD's online seminar "Effective Backhaul for Cellular Operators" which was held on Monday March 7, 2005, you can now view a recording of the event. 

Industry experts estimate that cellular backhaul accounts for 75% of mobile network transport costs. With the rapid deployment of new 3G services and networks – and the accompanying growth in capacity and coverage requirements – the total investment in new cellular backhaul infrastructure will increase dramatically. This build-out presents numerous commercial and technological challenges – as well as opportunities.

The 75 minute Webinar Recording examines the following issues:

  Migration from 2G circuit switched (TDM) to 3G packet switched (initially ATM, eventually Gigabit Ethernet/IP/MPLS) cellular infrastructure

  Multiple service aggregation over SDH/SONET and ATM transport networks

  2G/2.5G traffic over packet switched networks using RAD's patented TDMoIP pseudowire technology

  Synchronization and clock recovery for legacy circuit emulation over packet switched networks

  Cost reduction of inter-MSC connectivity

  Optimization of A-bis backhaul links

  Mobile backhaul over DSLAM-based infrastructure

The recorded presentation is delivered by RAD's resident expert on mobile services and network technology, Gabriel "Gaby" Junowicz, Senior Business Development Manager, accompanied by Dan Shalem, International Training Manager, responsible for RAD's web-based training program.
