INCREASE CAPACITY AND SCALABLITY
More bandwidth-intensive wireless user capabilities, such as mobile email, text messaging, image sharing, and web surfing have driven reactionary network overlays to address demand.

REDUCE BACKHAUL NETWORK OPERATIONAL EXPENSES
Wireless operators spend approximately 20-40% of their operational budget on network backhaul. Ethernet is increasingly prevalent in wireless and backhaul service provider networks as a cost-effective, high capacity data traffic offload connection from base station to MSC, overlaying existing TDM (SONET/SDH) connectivity.

DELIVER EXTENSIVE OAM&P CAPABILITIES
Wireless and backhaul service providers require extensive service provisioning, SLA monitoring, and policy management capabilities to ensure connections are provisioned quickly and running efficiently.

PROVIDE OPEN ACCESS SOLUTION INTEROPERABILITY
A variety of access technologies, including point-to-point microwave Ethernet and circuit emulation are necessitating an open, transparent approach to aggregation and backhaul. BTI’s packet optical systems with integrated WDM and packet capabilities provide transparent transport of TDM and Ethernet connectivity and seamlessly interoperate with the numerous access backhaul solution strategies implemented by wireless and backhaul service providers.
