OTTAWA-Zarlink Semiconductor and Wavesat said they have conducted a successful test of circuit-switched traffic over a WiMAX connection.
The tests demonstrated carrying E1 and T1 services across a WiMAX broadband wireless access network using CESoP technology, said the companies.
The companies’ solution uses Zarlink’s CESoP technology in both the base station and subscriber WiMAX equipment. Circuit-switched traffic as well as associated timing and signaling information is converted into Ethernet packets and seamlessly carried across the packet network, said the companies.
