Mobile backhaul networks require new operational tools for service turn up, maintenance, troubleshooting, and third party SLA management.

All projections indicate explosive demand for mobile backhaul … Can this be bad news for providers?

This complementary Spirent webinar gives service providers tactical insight into avoiding the hidden operational surprises in the backhaul network.

• Grow the backhaul with scalable operations
• Establish workflow models that deliver real OPEX savings
• Automate performance monitoring and SLA management of the Backhaul

Watch Bill Dentinger from Spirent in this fast paced presentation and Q&A.

 Q & A

More about the Mobile Backhaul Explosion

4G mobile connectivity will deliver high-value, multimedia services anytime, anywhere. Even today, Smart phones and mobile devices connecting to 3G and 4G services and applications are pushing the limits of mobile networks. This move towards ubiquitous wireless connectivity for the user has increased the performance requirements for the wired network too.

Nowhere is this more obvious than the bandwidth requirements made on mobile backhaul networks. Telco's, wireless service providers and MSO's face hidden surprises as they expand to meet the operational demands of tomorrow's mobile backhaul. How will providers handle scalability, rapid growth, expanding OPEX pressures, and the ever increasing demand for quality?

Over the next 2 years, legacy operational models will no longer scale profitably. Because they rely on the continuous addition of new dispatch resources to match increasing demand, growth will quickly out pace the operational ability to scale.

New operations workflows combined with new technology and tools can eliminate the OPEX creep and increase operational scalability while delivering competitive QoS and QoE.
