3G/4G Wireless Applications
Customer Requirements
Mobile Networks were originally designed to carry voice traffic over TDM networks, with E1 circuits to provide backhaul transport from the base station to the Mobile Switching Center. Backhaul network is being overwhelmed by the rapid increase in bandwidth demand resulting from the introduction of newer new mobile broadband services. Backhaul capacity contributes a 20-30% of cost to the total operating expense.
» High-bandwidth wireless backhaul solutions with lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)
» Flexibility, Scalability, and Manageability for the entire backhaul network
» carrier-grade Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) capabilities
» Carrier Ethernet technology provides a solution to these backhaul problems.

» 6350-Switch Node
PDH RAN Solutions
Fibcom products applicable in 3G/4G applications:
» 6325- Edge Node
» 6335- Switch Node
» 6350- Switch Node
RAN solution can work with any transmission infrastructure, be it TDM based (PDH or SDH), cell based (ATM), or packet based (IP). The deployment of 3G wireless networks will inherently require more bandwidth between the Base Station and Base Station Controller.
EoPDH provides 32 Mb/s of bandwidth (16 x E1), while also taking advantage of the economic merits of Ethernet for an IP UTRAN (Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network). More importantly, the GFP/VCAT and LCAS features will improve performance for latency-sensitive applications and network availability, respectively.
Application
» Scalable Fast-Ethernet based broadband service (max. 32 Mb bandwidth) over PDH network
» When Ethernet is not supported by network operator
» Mobile: 4 x Node B with FE Interface (3G rel 5) backhaul at sites with no Ethernet availability per 6325 node
Features
» Ethernet OAM to support SLA (ITU Y.1731)
» Integrated management (DCC) via GFP overhead. Manageable from the 6300 NMS
Technology
» GFP encapsulation according to ITU-T G.8040
» Virtual Concatenation of n x E1s according to ITU-T G.7043
Scalable (up to 4 x FE flows each with32 Mbit/s bandwidth in one EMAP module) with hitless upgrade (LCAS)
CWDM/DWDM in Mobile Networks
Fiber transport network needs dramatic upgrade to support new mobile data services
Mobile operators will build fully owned (core) networks to be cost competitive
Fiber RAN architecture will change from being N x E1 based into being dominated by massive backhaul of packet based data
Mobile operators currently using 6325 in the Fiber RAN will consider introduction of 6325 C/DWDM a natural evolution – a small step that do not require a deep strategic analysis and new tender
6325/6335: a simple solution to keep up with mobile bandwidth growth
