Backhaul now ranks at the top of network issues and the largest single operating cost for mobile operators experiencing rapid growth in their mobile data traffic. No where is this more true than in China, the world’s largest mobile market. For operators, the sheer volume of subscribers, rising bandwidth intensive audio and video applications along with the roll out of 3G services is putting existing backhaul capabilities to the test.
At the upcoming Mobile Backhaul Conference in Beijing, you'll have firsthand opportunity to learn and discuss cost effective ways to create and evolve traffic to a stronger next generation packet-based backhaul infrastructure. Come explore the new Ethernet and IP/MPLS architectures, transport technologies, innovations, research findings, experiences and other critical information at this event to formulate your own migration strategy and backhaul decisions. Register today!
Conference Chairman: Xu Rong, Project Manager, Department of Network Technology, China Mobile Research Institute
Call for Presentation
The Conference welcomes industry experts to share your perspectives and insights about evolving traditional mobile backhaul networks. A number of issues as well as technology options are to be addressed on the program including, but not limited to the following:
• Mobile backhaul planning: major factors driving the need for investing in an efficient mobile backhaul to lower transport costs and enhance QoS
• Preparing for rich application and services: business case for shifting to new backhaul options – Ethernet over fiber, microwave and DSL
• Review of backhaul deployments around the world
• Fixed Mobile Convergence considerations for backhaul – use common aggregation platform for FM?
• Assessing the various wireline and wireless backhaul technologies - T1/E1 lines, TDM, ATM, Carrier Ethernet, Pseudowires, Circuit-bonding, All-IP RAN, MPLS, xDSL, Microwave, Satellite and WiMAX
• Strategies for backhaul based on Ethernet based network architectures – Carrier Ethernet for mobile backhaul
• Ethernet transport in MWR & fiber networks
• Integration issues with legacy equipment
• Iub efficiency
• Expansion of the fiber network
• Improving service delivery over the backhaul network – bandwidth management, QoS, OAM
• Role of ATM
• Packet-based aggregation vs ATM/AAL2 aggregation
• Should RNC be ATM based or migrate to Ethernet/IP version?
• Media gateway requirement at hub site – Ethernet/IP or ATM based?
• Functionality of ATM switches sitting next to RNC
• Network/site sharing
• Evaluating MPLS and PBT technologies
• Wireless backhaul with WiMAX, LMDS and other microwave technologies
• Bridging legacy and packet based RAN technology
• IP evolution
• Migration to an all IP-RAN
• Is moving to an All-IP network necessary?
• Developing a hybrid transmission system using cable, fiber and wireless technologies
• Backhaul solutions for wireless cities and muni-WiFi
• RNC site solutions
• Aggregating and converging 2G/3G and UMTS/CDMA traffic on backhaul infrastructure
• Aggregation equipment reliability and redundancy requirements – from cell tower to aggregation point and onwards to the hub
• OAM and test access requirement for backhaul aggregation segment
• Preferred backhaul aggregation physical transport: 100BaseFX/GbE or E3/STM-1?
• Synchronization solutions, setting of standards, interoperability and testing
Why Attend
The need for a higher capacity backhaul, network optimization and controlling backhaul costs are priority issues with the rapid growth in new subscribers and roll out of high capacity data services. At the upcoming Mobile Backhaul Conference in Beijing, wireless operators and integrated service providers can explore a wide range of alternatives and solutions as backhaul demand ramps up. By attending you’ll get a comprehensive education that addresses the backhaul burden and what you can do to raise the capacity to avoid your network from becoming oversaturated, your services degraded, service outage and other problems. Hear about the different approaches to building capacity for backhaul including Ethernet and microwave technologies from the perspective of operators as well as vendors. Presentations will also highlight the techniques and solutions for ensuring a smooth and seamless migration, backhaul cost optimization along with challenges that remain to be settled such as standards, synchronization, interoperability among others. Whether you are looking to enhance your network capabilities, build up your backhaul network, leasing or providing backhaul services, this event is where you can secure the necessary information to make the right decisions. Register now!
Who Should Attend
Executives and technical professionals involved with network planning, optimization, development and other decision makers for mobile backhauling including CTOs, Engineers and Specialists involved with network management and service, voice/network performance, radio planning, transport network, network architecture, R&D.
