• Wireless Network Cellular Backhaul (TR-WCB)
  

  With rising demand for mobile broadband services, network operators are seeing sharp increases in bandwidth requirements. The cellular network infrastructure must evolve to support newer technologies that require more and more bandwidth. Mobile service providers need to gain real-time, insight into their network performance in order to manage existing architectures and ensure a higher quality of service regardless of the underlying technology.

  Cellular networks may face challenges that include:

  • Quality of Services(QoS)
  • Testing multiple technologies - Ethernet, SONET
  • SLA's
  • Tracking and validation
  • Network monitoring
  • Cost of Network Expansion
