Cell Tower BackhaulThe Universal Transport System enables cost-efficient, flexible backhaul of data and voice traffic from mobile wireless cell towers. Speed 3G deployments with backhaul over the copper circuits that reach every tower. Since most towers are connected with copper, not fiber, a solution is needed that uses the copper infrastructure efficiently. Ceterus bonds individual DS1s, E1s, and DS3s into a single “virtual pipe” using ITU-standard bonding, offering highly efficient, high capacity connections over the already-existing access circuits. Significantly reduce recurring costs for each tower’s access circuits Ceterus lets you decrease access circuit count to each tower by bonding all data and voice circuits together. Intelligence ensures that no circuit overprovisioning is necessary to meet busy hour requirements for any service. Other approaches, lacking Ceterus intelligence, require separate access circuits for voice and for data services, so more total circuits are needed for the same backhaul bandwidth. Fiber is unavailable to most towers. Smooth bandwidth upgrades as data service use grows Early 3G deployments will require very little data bandwidth, but this will grow as customers are added. Using bonded DS1’s will greatly speed deployments. Rather than over-provisioning for data traffic that will grow at an unknown rate, Ceterus allows quick bandwidth upgrades by simply adding another circuit to the bonded group. Ethernet-enable all tower base stations New data services are moving to Ethernet interfaces. Ceterus allows providers to migrate from DS1-based to Ethernet-based data on the same platform, while retaining flexibility between voice and data services.
