Backhaul for mobile networks is a critical piece of network operations to ensure capacity and speed, as it relates to the transport of data from distributed network sites to the network core. RCR Wireless News has assembled a variety of resources on aspects of...
This collection of five MPLS tutorials cover both basic concepts and advanced details of how Multi-Protocol Label Switching works in telecom networks. From MPLS in mobile backhaul networks, to an in-depth analysis of MPLS overall, the technology is laid out and explained in these...
As wireless operators deploy packet-based networks including LTE technology, considerations for the network layout, or topology, are changing. LTE has its own topology changes, but another point of debate within networks are whether to go with a Carrier Ethernet architecture or an MPLS topology.
COMMON...
Long Term Evolution is expected to step up wireless networks’ ability to handle increased demand for capacity and make networks more efficient. But once releases reach LTE-Advanced, the possibilities for smarter traffic increase, and LTE topology promises to change how carriers design their networks by...
