Axerra Networks Unveils Full-Service Pseudo-Wire Solution for Mobile Wireless Operators

Strategic Insights

— 1 min read

Axerra Networks, a leading provider of circuit emulation and service emulation solutions, has announced the availability of a full-service alternative to TDM access for mobile wireless operators. The Axerra AXN Pseudo-Wire solution enables backhaul of both voice and data services in packet-based radio access networks (RANs), empowering Ethernet service providers, cable MSOs, and incumbent LECs to utilize low-cost packet access networks. By supporting all generations of wireless services over a single packet RAN, the solution slashes operators' recurring costs while catalyzing the deployment of Carrier Ethernet, GPON/EPON, xDSL, HFC, and WiMAX in the RAN.

Key Takeaways:

  • The Axerra AXN Pseudo-Wire solution combines circuit emulation, Frame Relay/HDLC/PPP, and Ethernet Pseudo-Wires in a single platform to enable backhaul of every generation of wireless service, including CDMA, CDMA 2000, and 4G, all over a single packet RAN.
  • The solution supports end-to-end latency of less than 8ms, enabling operators to satisfy the most stringent differential delay requirements, including backhaul of CDMA services.
  • The AXN solution scales from the BTS/NodeB to the BSC/RNC and MSC, with carrier-class solutions for switching centers, and is the only vendor that can deliver small, low-cost solutions for cell sites as well as high-density solutions with high-speed channelized interfaces for switching centers.
  • Service emulation provides statistical multiplexing, making all bandwidth available in real time for high-speed data services (e.g., EV-DO), improving the user experience and furnishing competitive advantage for the wireless operator.
  • The AXN solution integrates easily with existing equipment and is certified and supported by most of the top-tier mobile incumbent vendors.

Statistics:

  • Axerra's solution supports the transport of voice and high-speed data over packet-access networks, slashing operators' recurring costs.
  • The solution scales from the BTS/NodeB to the BSC/RNC and MSC, with carrier-class solutions for switching centers.
  • The AXN solution has gained the industry's largest deployments of Pseudo-Wires in wireless backhaul applications, with revenue-generating traffic for top-tier operators on four continents.
