Wireless PtMP Backhaul & Access

Optimizing Network Performance!

Network Transformation Requires
Cost-Effective Solutions…

The emergence of mobile broadband and multimedia

services, the recent air interface technology
enhancements (HSPA+, LTE, etc.) and the introduction
of high-speed hot spots intensify the backhaul
requirements, especially in urban areas.

Meanwhile, corporations and organizations

increasingly demand dedicated capacity and high
network availability for their daily operations.

…WiBAS™ is the Solution of Choice!

• High capacity to satisfy every backhaul and access

demand

• Significant OpEx savings compared to Point-to-Point

deployment costs in urban environments

• Various SLA commitments (capacity/availability/QoS)

for meeting corporate access requirements

• One-off regulator license throughout the product’s

lifecycle

• Optimum utilization of network resources

Being a multi-service platform (Ethernet / TDM), WiBAS™

efficiently serves the needs of 2G and 3G mobile backhauling.
Several tier-1 mobile operators, worldwide, already enjoy the
benefits of WiBAS™.
Mobile
Backhaul
WiBAS™ flexibly adapts to different deployment scenarios, a
key feature that reduces network size. Initial investments are
kept low, in line with the coverage / capacity objectives, and a
pay-as-grow strategy can be applied for the expected business
growth.
Voice
For enterprises and SMEs, WiBAS™ implements LAN-to-LAN /
Call Center fixed wireless connections, also providing high-speed
Internet access. Sophisticated packet classification, per-service
prioritization and Layer 2 / Layer 3 VPNs, allow delivering Carrier
Ethernet services, such as:
●● Permanent VLAN connections for geographically-dispersed
branches running demanding data applications (CRM, ERP,
FTP, etc.)
●● Interconnections among heterogeneous networks with QoS
preservation enabling differentiated business applications
(such as VoIP and data transfer services)
Large enterprises are able to connect their Call Centers to
provider’s voice-switched network for a fraction of incumbent’s
cost. WiBAS™ easily integrates existing systems – IP PBX / Soft
Switches / PSTN Gateways / Management & Billing, etc.
