Advance mobile backhaul networks from 3G to 4G and beyond
Get the wireless backhaul used in more than 150 networks worldwide
It's no secret that the world's mobile operators are experiencing insatiable user demand for broadband. Faster 3G networks, along with competitive service pricing, compelling smartphones and connected laptops, have come together to create the perfect storm for the mobile broadband business.
That's why Vodafone chose Tellabs to launch a revolution in mobile backhaul networks. It boosted network performance, reined in costs and offered new mobile services to more than 200 million subscribers around the world.
One of Scandinavia's largest mobile operators, NetCom in Norway, uses Tellabs Ethernet solution to keep 4G backhaul costs at 3G levels. NetCom launched one of the world's first LTE networks, offering new mobile services to some 1.2 million subscribers.
Migrating to an IP/Ethernet mobile platform enables you to manage increased traffic at lower cost, with carrier-class reliability. Your customers can enjoy high-quality e-mail, Internet and video services to go.
Tellabs helps you advance your existing mobile network to IP/Ethernet cost-effectively. We offer flexible, cost-efficient options to deliver new mobile data, mobile Internet and mobile video services.
The Tellabs® 8600 Managed Edge System enables you to:
- Minimize capital and operating costs.
