Eclipse Packet Node IP Wireless Backhaul Solution

Eclipse Packet NodeIP Wireless Backhaul Solution
Advanced Wireless Backhaul for 4G/LTE

Circuit to Packet Network Evolution
Backhaul is the central front in the network migration battle
Moving to all-IP is critical to lowering opex
Lack of available capex forces operators to leverage existing investments
Backhaul crunch – supporting current and future 4G backhaul needs
Maintaining accurate synchronization in all-IP environment
Rollout of new HSPA+ and LTE base stations uncertain
Operators are faced with the choice whether to transition or transform their networks
Need to mitigate anticipated network upgrade costs and migration risk

Enabling Graceful Network Migration
Maintain high quality TDM services
Introduction of packet transport to support new IP-based services
Gradual migration path to all-IP
Support network expansion
Lower overall network operational costs
Increase network flexibility and efficiency
