New deployments offer great possibilities but also pose some difficult decisions. Rollout needs to be fast to start generating revenues, yet the solution needs to be future-proof to accommodate subscriber growth and new services. Ericsson’s mobile backhaul solutions with IP over Ethernet provide flexible media choices to meet today’s and tomorrow’s needs, while minimizing required time to market and total cost of ownership (TCO).

Ericsson’s mobile backhaul solutions provide the flexibility to keep investment costs low and rollout fast, thus further reducing costs. The solutions require little maintenance and few site visits, operating expenses are also minimized. A common backhaul management system further reduce TCO to levels unrivaled in the industry. This means that the transport infrastructure can be deployed and maintained at a lower TCO than legacy transport infrastructures. In addition, Ericsson’s backhaul solutions provide scalable capacity and efficient aggregation, which is becoming more statistical in nature. This all contributes to reducing transport cost per bit.

Economics typically dictate the rollout choices in new deployment. Ericsson’s media alternatives include fiber, copper, microwave and satellite, thus giving you the flexibility to make the most financially viable choice in each specific situation. All backhaul alternatives naturally support IP over Ethernet, as well as legacy TDM transport.
