Telecom Application: Mobile Backhaul
The following application shows an example of the
iConverter
T1/E1 MUX/M used in a hybrid TDM/Ethernet transport
network.
A wireless service provider has enhanced their network to
support 3G/4G services. The new equipment uses Ethernet for
backhaul at the Cell Site, while their existing legacy 2G/2.5G
equipment uses TDM (T1) for backhaul.
Using the
iConverter
T1/E1 MUX/M at the Cell Site, the service
provider is able to multiplex up to 16 T1/E1 circuits and one
10/100/1000 Ethernet service on a common fiber link. The
fiber carries the multiplexed traffic to a second iConverter
T1/E1 MUX/M that is installed at the Base Station Controller
(BSC) and Radio Network Controller (RNC). The T1/E1 MUX/M
converts the legacy TDM traffic back to T1/E1 interfaces, where
it is connected to the TDM network. The MUX also converts
the Ethernet traffic back to a 10/100/1000 interface, where it
is connected to the provider’s IP network.
