Introduction To The FlexPort® Mobile Backhaul Platform

The evolution of networks to 4G has created new challenges for operators, such as the growth of base station capacities putting extra demands on backhaul networks. This growth in capacity is primarily driven by data services, therefore pushing the transition from circuit to packet-based architectures in order to more efficiently adapt to the new data-centric world. In order to realize the efficiency gains promised by packet architectures, robust traffic and network management tools are required to optimally address a high mix of application traffic with widely varying Quality of Service (QoS) requirements. This white paper introduces FlexPort® Mobile Backhaul Platform solutions that look forward to 4G while supporting existing access technologies without imposing substantial cost or complexity on operators.
