E4G - All-Ethernet Mobile Backhaul Solution

E4G Ethernet-based Mobile Backhaul

A subsidiary of Finnet Telecommunications Group company, SSP Yhtiot, will be the first commercial user of Extreme Networks E4G. The technology runs on all Ethernet-based networks, improving cell-site router performance for mobile backhauling. A part of Ericsson and Motorola's mobile infrastructures, Extreme Network provides Ethernet switches and mobile backhaul technologies to more than 19 mobile phone operators.

Enhanced mobile backhaul through E4G  spells good opportunities for Extreme and it will enable mobile operators to develop 4G services faster. All SSP towers will be equipped with  Extreme Networks E4G routers. SSP is expected to benefit from faster data , multimedia voice and  improved video services . This is made possible  by an all-IP Ethernet solution. The mobile backhaul solution has the advantage of having networks run faster than 3G speed, thanks to software enhancements such as the precision time protocol (PTP), as well as ultra-dense Gigabit Ethernet ports.

The mobile market is growing. With rapidly rising mobile data traffic from  corporate communications and  multimedia entertainment, mobile operators are faced with bandwidth shortage. The mobile industry would be increasingly needing scalable Ethernet mobile backhaul solution lile E4G, said Riku Paarni, Director of SSPNET Operators and Services at SSP.

The cell site router can also work on legacy networks, thus helping operators maintain their customers as they shift to 4G. Extreme Networks E4G MBH solution can significantly help the industry adapt to the evolving demands of the market. With resilient synchronous Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) backhaul, E4G can support multiple generations of services, including LTE. Users will also benefit from optimum performance with line-rate Gigabit Ethernet and capabilities for 10 GbE and beyond.

The volume of mobile data usage is growing at exponential rate, prompting wireless providers to shift to 4G. The technology will serve to sustain the delivery of bandwidth to millions of users, said  David Ginsburg, CMO of Extreme Networks.

"Extreme Networks is proud to work with SSP as it advances its network with our all-Ethernet cell-site routers," said Ginsburg. Mobile bandwidth services drive up the sector's revenues.
More users of smartphones and tablets means growing demand for high-speed mobile backhaul network. Featuring a 1RU form factor,  E4G-400 enables 4G mobile backhaul offering carrier-class resiliency, line-rate performance and synchronization,  while integrating TDM and Ethernet services and their associated protocols into a scalable and efficient Ethernet mobile backhaul network.

Extreme Networks is a global leader in high-performance Ethernet switching, serving cloud, data center and mobile sectors. The California-based company maintains 6,000 customers in more than 50 countries.
