Applications
Wireless Backhaul
As cellular and PCS networks continue to grow, the MDR-8000 Packet Plus
is an ideal choice for connecting cell sites or backhauling traffic to the switch.
The broad range of capacities and frequency bands provide ultimate flexibility
for both long- and short-haul applications. In addition, the high reliability
typically provides vastly superior performance as compared to leased DS1
circuits, usually with a very attractive payback period. The unlicensed versions
of the radio also permit rapid deployment of point-to-point links, allowing
new cell sites to be turned up quickly to meet service demands.
In addition, as backhaul networks transition from TDM to IP-based services,
the MDR-8000 Packet Plus can manage the transition seamlessly by carrying
both signal types simultaneously with unlimited flexibility.
