Huawei has announced that its IPTime mobile backhaul solution has successfully participated in interoperability tests conducted by the European Advanced Networking Test Center (EANTC). Huawei's solution comprises PTN packet transport equipment, NE40E full service router, and CX600 MAN service platform.
Several aspects of Huawei's IPTime mobile backhaul solution were tested, including global interconnect, mobile backhaul and managed Ethernet services. The tests verified IPTime's capability in end-to-end 1588v2 high-precision clock synchronization and mobile backhaul functions, such as TDM CES and ATM PWE3.
"This test has confirmed the interoperability of Huawei's IPTime mobile backhaul solutions," said Mr. Zha Jun, vice president of Huawei Network Product Line. "As the industry has entered into an All-IP era, operators are deploying converged networks using equipment from different vendors. As a preferred partner to fully support operators' All-IP network transformation, Huawei is committed to providing advanced solutions with high interoperability to build All-IP based mobile backhaul networks for operators worldwide."
With Huawei's IPTime mobile backhaul solution, operators are said to be able to simply and flexibly deploy telecom networks using optical fibers, microwave links, and copper cables, and accelerate time-to-market of new services. This solution, featuring 1588v2, also enables operators to reduce TCO (total cost of ownership) in cellular backhaul network and smoothly evolve to LTE (long-term evolution) network in the future.
