Flanger Backhaul

  • Highly Reliable
  • Very cost effective compared to leased lines or licensed microwave
  • Simple to install and manage
  • A proven backhaul alternative

Cellular networks around the world are growing at a tremendous pace, even in the most rural areas. Mobile network operators' expenses associated with backhaul of the cellular services will continue to grow with the rapid deployment of 2G and 3G networks. Operators should consider all of their options when developing their backhaul strategy to optimize the cost efficiencies of their network.


Growing Demand for Wireless Backhaul

Wireless links represent over 50% of all backhaul connections worldwide and can significantly reduce costs when replacing terrestrial leased lines while enabling rapid deployment of services, especially in rural or remote areas. The use of unlicensed radio spectrum can offer even more dramatic cost savings when compared to traditional licensed microwave solutions. Unlicensed backhaul solutions primarily in the 5Ghz range are becoming a common choice for mobile network operators all over the world as they provide an unparalleled combination of reliability and cost effectiveness.


Highly Reliable

Flanger Backhaul from Memorylink is a highly reliable alternative to expensive microwave backhaul products or leased lines. Flanger Backhaul delivers TDM services over unlicensed wireless links. Flanger Backhaul encapsulates full and fractional DS1 circuits into IP packets along with their framing and signaling bits. Each DS1 interface can be configured to provide independent protocol, clocking, coding, impedance and line build out. It features a high precision clock recovery system that supports the operation of both GSM and CDMA platforms. Flanger Backhaul can deliver from 1 to 8 E1/T1 over a single wireless link. A rack mount configuration is also available.

Eliminate Monthly Operating Expenses

A complete Flanger Backhaul configuration, including the radio, can cost less than USD$5,000. When compared to leasing expensive E1/T1 circuits from a Telco, network operators receive a fast return on their investment, in most cases between six months to one year. They can also manage these portions of the network internally, eliminating dependence on the Telco. Flanger Backhaul is also a fraction of the cost when compared to licensed microwave products making it The Most Cost Effective Solution Available.


Easy Set-Up and Configuration

Flanger Backhaul's simple set-up and configuration allows a complete link to be installed in hours versus waiting for weeks or months for the Telco to provision E1/T1 circuits. Flanger Backhaul's set--up page is preconfigured for the radio and also contains set-up profiles for several market leading radios including Motorola Canopy, Orthogon, Proxim, and Trango. These profiles contain the values of packet sizes and buffer depths that achieve optimal performance. Additionally, custom profiles may be specified by the user.

--- THE MX 8000 ---

The Best Solution for Shrinking Carriers' Backhaul OPEX Smart T1 and E1 Replacement

As competition mounts, and the cellular/mobile industry matures and consolidates, there is a growing need among carriers to reduce their network operating expenses (OPEX). The cost of leased DS1 (T1 or E1) lines linking carriers' BSC/RNC’s to their BTS/Node B's (for GSM and CDMA networks, respectively) is the single largest cost category, representing as much as 20-30% of their monthly OPEX.

A pair of Memorylink's MX-8000s, in conjunction with a compatible wireless broadband radio link, now provides cellular/mobile carriers the ability to reduce, by several orders of magnitude, their T1/E1 OPEX, shrinking it to as little as the cost of rack space and electricity!

Memorylink's MX-8000 TDM over IP multiplexer enables point--topoint tunneling of conventional time-division-multiplexed (TDM) telephony DS1 channels across both wired and, more importantly wireless broadband IP links. Unlike most if not all competing multiplexers, which were designed solely with wired IP networks in mind, the MX-8000 enables rock solid transport of telephony TDM traffic over wireless broadband IP links. It provides a low-latency TDM-over-IP solution using Memorylink's Metawire technology, which is essentially pseudowire capability over wireless broadband IP.

  • Each pair of MX-8000 multiplexers can transport up to eight DS1 channels as well as a "wayside data" channel which supports an additional IP payload end-to-end over a given link.
  • The MX-8000 supports traffic control and management,enabling "voice” and "data" prioritization. It provides seamless encapsulation and transport of TDM traffic
  • The MX-8000 is capable of working with Memorylink's UltraSync products which generate a precise, highly stable, sync signal for timing synchronization.
  • The MX-8000 is not only ideal for cellular/mobile carriers to implement wireless backhaul of their telephony channels, but also for corporate customers wanting to link regional or campus-wide telephony facilities, and would like to eliminate the associated monthly OPEX.

Memorylin's MX-8000 offers the best VALUE in the marketplace and is the proven alternative to leased circuits or expensive and time-consuming microwave links. It is highly reliable, easy-to-install and maintain, and affordable. Find out for yourself why carriers around the globe are choosing Memorylink solutions, with resultant OPEX savings that go straight to the bottom line.
