As wireless carriers enable higher speed data services with new and evolving technologies, they are faced with the challenge of backhauling that data from the cell sites to their core network elements. The cost of providing these connections is becoming an increasingly significant portion of carrier operating expenses. The challenge will become even more pressing as high-speed data technologies like LTE and WiMax are scheduled to roll out across the country in the coming months and years. An increasingly popular approach to addressing the backhaul challenge is the use of low-cost high-speed microwave radio systems. Like the access side of the network, microwave radio systems have evolved to become increasingly data centric with many radios designed to operate as Ethernet-based transport devices. Using these devices for the backhaul, enables carriers to lower their total cost of network ownership which provides them with a competitive edge as we transition to 4G networks. Green Mountain Communications has partnered with key radio vendors who are leading the way in enabling these backhaul solutions. As a region partner of Motorola, Dragonwave, Inc., and others Green Mountain Communications offers all of the services required to deploy a system. From link studies to path analysis to installation test and turn up, Green Mountain is a true turnkey supplier of microwave solutions for the backhaul network. |
