So What’s In Your Backhaul Toolbox?

So What’s In YourBackhaul Toolbox?

In 2011, mobile data traffic growth rate was higher thaninitially anticipated and can mainly be contributed to the growth in the overallnumber of mobile users. It is now expected that wireless devices will exceedthe number of people on earth by the end of 2012! (source:Cisco?s VNI data). In addition, consumers are clawing formore bandwidth to satisfy their insatiable appetite for mobile services andapplication. This appetite is choking the backhaul networks, forcing operatorsand service providers to invest in an infrastructure capable of handlinggigabit capacities quickly, easily and cost-effectively.

Whether fiber, copper, microwave radios or millimeter wave radiosare used to face these backhaul challenges, one thing is certain: there is no one-size-fits-allsolution to overcoming the 4G backhaul dilemma.

BridgeWave has a complete line of robust and scalablehigh-capacity 4G wireless backhaul solutions to meet escalating capacityrequirements with greater flexibility.

BridgeWave’s UpcomingWebinars

BridgeWave is pleased to present a new webinar geared toward theUK market:

Using Ultra High Capacity Millimetre Wave Solutions For NetworkConnectivity

Join BridgeWave Communications for an informative 45 minutewebinar to explore how millimetre wave gigabit wireless solutions are providingessential high-capacity connectivity across carrier, service provider,government, education and healthcare networks in the United Kingdom. Thiswebinar will introduce millimetre wave solutions in the license-free60 GHz and lightly-licensed 80 GHz frequency bands. Discover realworld examples and learn how wireless solutions can help you achieve performanceon par with fibre, but with significant benefits in terms of cost and time toimplement.

In addition, BridgeWave recently launched the following 30-minutewebinar series:

IMC Networks Delivers 10 Gigabit Media Converter Solution For Long-Haul Networks

Modular Protocol-Independent, 10 Gbps XFP Fiber Mode Converter

Connect 10 Gigabit network segments running different fiber types using interchangeable XFP modules

The iMcV-10G-Converter is a dual-wide SNMP manageable module that allows network operators to convert multiple fiber types and wavelengths, as well as copper XFPs, within a network. It installs in the modular, SNMP-manageable iMediaChassis series and in the unmanaged MediaChassis series.

The iMcV-10G-Converter is protocol-independent with dual XFP ports which can provide a single conversion between copper, different wavelengths or single-mode and multi-mode fiber, single-mode to single-mode fiber or multi-mode to single-strand single-mode fiber. The iMcV-10G-Converter module supports a variety of user-configurable features such as LinkLoss, LoopBack and variable speed XFPs.

The iMcV-10G-Converter uses 10 Gbps XFP modules which are capable of moving large amounts of data over long distances. The hot-swappable nature of XFPs and the numerous fiber modes and types that are available allow for easy configuration and future upgrading as network demands evolve.

Easily configure and manage converters with the GUI-based iView?. As an SNMP management application, iView? gives network managers the ability to monitor and control IMC Networks’ products. iView? runs standalone on Windows NT/XP/2000/7 or as a Web Server running under IIS. For assistance in selecting the right version of iView? for your operating system, visit our web site at:http://www.imcnetworks.com/Products/iView2.cfm

Features and Benefits

Cost-effective and flexible

  • Interchangeable XFP modules allow for multiple fiber mode/type conversion options (single-mode, multi-mode) as well as support for copper XFPs
  • DDMI enabled XFPs are supported through SNMP when installed in a compatible managed chassis
  • Ideal for use with IMC Networks’ XFPs

Protocol-Independent

  • Supports a wide range of XFP Modules with transmission speeds from 9.9 Gbps to 11.3 Gbps

Maximizes network uptime

  • Modules are hot-swappable; no need to power-down chassis when upgrading or trouble-shooting a single module
  • User selectable FX LinkLoss enables the operator to identify a cable fault/failure when the unit is not used in a managed chassis
  • Supports Config Control, a feature that retains the latest configuration of a module regardless of how the initial configuration was setup; whether by DIP Switch or SNMP Management Module Supports XFP Loopback (Lineside & SFI) and Loss Carry Forward (XFP dependent)

Application Diagram

In this application, two servers are connected over a 10 Gbps network across a campus. The distance limitation of the original multimode fiber used in the initial installation is extended via the iMcV-10G-Converters over single-mode fiber.

Fibre Technologies Limited acquires Isoscan UK Limited

Fibre Technologies (FTL) and Isoscan haveworked with each other on and off for nearly 10 years now, and each thereforeunderstands how the other operates.

Following the retirement of Isoscan MD Malcolm Wright, FTL will continue tomanufacture, deliver, deploy and maintain the currently installed base whichIsoscan has developed over the last 18 years. Existing customers will see nochange in how they are handled as an account. Neil McCoy,Technical Director of Isoscan, will join FTL and will continue to be thetechnical driving force of the Isoscan range of products and services.

FTL has been in the telecoms market for more than 20 years, and has seen thechanges of building security solutions move increasingly into the Ethernetspace. The acquisition of Isoscan instantly provides the company with 18years of security experience.

New, existing, and potential customers will benefit from continual productimprovements and enhancements that are planned within the current roadmap. “TheIsoscan range is very adaptable from an off-the-shelf product, has an 18-yearproven track record, and is fitted in many of the UK’s county councils, carmanufacturing plants, logistic warehousing units, and data centres,” says FTL’sIan Hunt. “The acquisition will provide uswith the ultimate solution for our current and new networking solutioncustomers. Not only can we connect the building, we can now also provide thebuilding security”.
