Transmode launches Mobile Fronthaul solution for C-RAN rollouts
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Stockholm, Sweden and Mobile Backhaul Asia, Bangkok - 23(rd) April 2013 -
Transmode, a global supplier of packet-optical networking solutions, today
announced the company's new Mobile Fronthaul solution to support mobile
operators rolling out C-RAN architectures.
As data capacity in networks continues to rise at an exponential rate, mobile
operators are looking at new architectures that can help them reduce cost,
simplify networks and share resources to match the dynamic nature of mobile
networks. Also, power and space are an increasingly scarce resource at cell
sites and the total power bills are considerable. One recent trend by mobile
operators to address these challenges is the move to Cloud-RAN, or C-RAN,
architectures. C-RAN involves moving some parts of the radio network control
function from being co-located with the antenna at the cell site, to locations
deeper in the network. This introduces a new transmission network into the
overall mobile network infrastructure - Mobile Fronthaul - carrying the CPRI
protocol between the antenna and these locations.
To support this new network architecture, Transmode has launched the Mobile
Fronthaul solution. Transmode's suite of active and passive WDM mobile fronthaul
architectures are ideal in these applications due to the company's well proven
strengths in synchronisation and transparent transport, its low power and low
latency capabilities. The solution is available now and are already generating
considerable interest among existing and potential customers.
"Fronthaul networks and the CPRI protocol are very sensitive to latency and
require very good synchronisation performance, both well-established strengths
of Transmode. Operators across the globe are looking at C-RAN and Fronthaul as a
way of addressing spiralling power consumption costs in cell sites and also to
address the dynamic nature of mobile users," said Sten Nordell, Transmode's
Chief Technology Officer. "Using C-RAN as a way of dynamically allocating radio
resources across multiple antennas helps these operators get the most from their
network investments. Fronthaul networks are a key enabler to reaching this goal
but these networks require outstanding performance in terms of power
consumption, density, latency and data/sync transparency."
Transmode's unique solution for Mobile Fronthaul include two alternative TM-
Series based active options for protected CPRI low-latency transport - one using
transparent transponders and another providing additional management and FEC
capabilities and a TG-Series based passive WDM option which also offers network
protection.
