Alcatel-Lucent has enhanced its mobile backhaul solution to enable mobile network operators to seamlessly support ‘AnyG to LTE’ (2G, 3G and LTE) radio access network technologies.
The company has added the 7705 service aggregation router (SAR)-18 to its mobile backhaul portfolio.
The SAR-18 is optimized for large aggregation sites or smaller central hub sites requiring multiservice support for 2G and 3G as well as Ethernet/IP support for LTE.
Also additions are end-to-end, unified network and policy management from the radio access network to the packet core, for simplified network integration, trouble shooting and rapid service deployment.
