Mobility Solutions

Your network has been growing relentlessly, year after year, and you know the steep bandwidth demands of mobile data are still coming. You also know that revenue per bit is dropping already and likely to do so faster when mobile data becomes more widespread. How can you keep up with this growth and maintain or improve your margins? Simply leasing more transport facilities doesn't do it: the costs scale linearly with demand. Wireless backhaul offers hope for the last mile, but doesn't scale over a metropolitan area and frequently uses precious spectrum that would be better used for subscriber access. The core of the metropolitan network needs to be different than today, but how?

Ownership of your own fiber-optic backbone using co-location at key network points is a vital means of improving cost per bit and service responsiveness, while positioning your network for the increasingly bursty traffic created by mobile data. Simply put, the volumes of traffic in the near future will demand multiple wavelengths in the transport core, and the cost of dark fiber and DWDM-capable optical equipment is far less than the cost of leasing one dedicated ring after another. Extending your network demarcation point to the key hubs of the metro fiber network means that each BTS link: whether leased or wireless, is as short, efficient, and cost-effective as it can be.

Further, by extending your network to these hubs, a statistically meaningful pool of mobile data traffic can be aggregated, further reducing core transport costs.

Fujitsu offers market-leading equipment like the FLASHWAVE® 4000 family of Multiservice Provisioning Platforms (MSPPs), the FLASHWAVE® 7000 family of scalable DWDM solutions, and the FLASHWAVE® 6400 Layer 2.5 aggregation platform for maximizing the transport efficiency for mobile data.

Fujitsu blends 10 years of experience in CDMA and UMTS technology with our unparalleled experience in fiber-optic networking to provide not just equipment, but service expertise. Fujitsu can help with every aspect of planning, acquiring, implementing, and operating your new metro core transport network.

The challenge of mobile data is real and requires an entirely new way of thinking about your network architecture. The scale of the bandwidth requires ownership; the nature of the traffic requires aggregation between the BTS and the MTSO, and the critical nature of the changes demands Fujitsu, the market leader in optical networking solutions.
