The ever-increasing rise in mobile voice and 3G multimedia traffic is forcing wireless operators to examine alternate backhaul solutions to drive down operation expenses (OPEX) associated with traditional T1/E1 leased lines.
With Ethernet emerging as the solution of choice, operators must also consider testing solutions to ensure service quality for customers hungry for high-speed services. Technicians must be equipped with the right tools for:
- Performance assessment of legacy and Ethernet backhaul services, including BERT, RFC2544, TCP throughput, packet jitter, service disruption and round-trip delay measurements.
- Installation, activation and maintenance of backhaul networks
