Adax Solutions for Mobile Backhaul

70% of North American Base Stations use T1/TDM Circuits and the mobile data explosion is overloading these circuits. Provisioning more TDM circuits is cost-prohibitive and Network Service Providers want mobile backhaul over IP. Pseudowire (PWE) is one solution but it lacks content awareness and whilst Ethernet can provide traffic awareness it was not designed for high reliability, voice quality. The Carrier Ethernet standard means that it can now match TDM reliability and availability enabling network traffic to be offloaded to IP packet based transport for backhaul to the core network.

The combination of the Adax APR, PktAMC and ATM products provide the ideal foundation for an ecosystem of partner software solutions for mobile backhaul.

Adax Solutions for Access Concentration

The mobile data explosion also affects legacy TDM circuits and Base Stations links to Regional Network Controllers are overloaded. Provisioning more TDM circuits is cost-prohibitive and Network Service Providers want to concentrate the network traffic over IP and transport data over IP/Ethernet at the earliest junction in the network.

The APR is the ideal host for Access Concentration on an ATCA chassis and Adax has the software skills to implement creative solutions. The AdaxGW supports the SS7/SIGTRAN signaling applications and the APR hosts all necessary interface cards: HDC3 for SS7, LAPD and Frame Relay; HDC3 for TDM voice over I-TDM to DSP cards; HDC3 for Drop and Insert DACS replacement; ATM4 for SS7 and ATM-IP voice to RTP on the APR Cavium.

The APR is both flexible and scalable enabling multi-purpose HDC3 and ATM4 cards to be deployed in the same blade and additional cards can be added to the APR as they are needed.
