Ethernet for Mobile Backhaul Gets Real

Connected Planet Webcast – June 8 @ 2PM EST

Exploding traffic on mobile data networks – not to mention the looming move to 4G – has put mobile backhaul networks under overwhelming strain. To the rescue comes carrier Ethernet in the backhaul network, promising greater bandwidth, more dynamic provisioning and the ability to consolidate multiple services (even services beyond backhaul) onto a single network.
Join Connected Planet's Editor-in-Chief Rich Karpinski and New Paradigm Research Group analyst Craig Clausen Tuesday, June 8 at 2 PM EST to examine the promise and challenge of Ethernet for mobile backhaul, including:

• A cost benefit analysis of carrier Ethernet versus traditional T1/E1 circuits
• Deploying carrier Ethernet as an overlay or “side-network” for handling just mobile data traffic
• Consolidating voice and data onto Ethernet links, including challenges around voice synch and timing issues
• Using the move to carrier Ethernet in the backhaul to converge multiple services onto the network, including business and residential Ethernet-based services
