Telco Systems to Upgrade Tier 1 Mobile Backhaul Network in the United States to 10 Gigabit Ethernet
Telco Systems today announced it will be upgrading the mobile backhaul network of a major US Tier 1 wholesale Ethernet carrier to 10GE to meet the nationwide demand for more capacity associated with the increased popularity of 4G/LTE
Telco Systems, the leading provider of innovative CE 2.0, MPLS, IP and SDN & NFV business services and mobile backhaul solutions, today announced that the company has been awarded a major contract extension from a Tier 1 wholesale carrier of Ethernet mobile backhaul services in the United States.
This contract involves the deployment of hundreds of Telco Systems’ T-Marc 3348 devices for this Tier 1 wholesale carrier to provision 10Gbps Ethernet mobile backhaul services throughout the northeast of the United States. This project extension will significantly expand on the 2,500 T-Marc devices previously deployed by Telco Systems.
The deployment of Telco Systems’ high capacity demarcation and aggregation devices will support the Tier 1 wholesale carrier’s launch of 10GE mobile backhaul services, supporting its strategic plans to meet the increasing demand for more capacity associated with the emergence of the 4G/LTE technologies and future 5G deployments.
“We value this project extension as an expression of trust from our customer in our leading mobile backhaul solutions. We see this project as a solid indicator of the increasing demand for higher bandwidth mobile backhaul services. As wireless service providers’ cell site densification continues, driven by accelerating demand for mobile data services, the need for higher bandwidth mobile backhaul will continue to increase,” said Reinhard Florin, Telco Systems North America VP of Sales and Solution Engineering. “Telco Systems has an installed base in over 20 wholesale mobile backhaul carriers in North America. Based on this on-the-ground vantage point, we anticipate strong demand as customers upgrade existing 1Gbps Ethernet-based mobile backhaul networks to 10Gbps Ethernet.”
