TELECOMS :: GSM BACKHAUL

CONNECT GSM NETWORKS IN EVEN THE REMOTEST AREAS WITH EUTELSAT'S GSM BACKHAUL SOLUTION

As communications needs extend to ever more remote areas, the terrestrial infrastructure required to interconnect GSM networks does not always suffice. According to the GSMA, 80% of future subscriber growth will come from developing markets, where the majority of the population live in rural areas. The limited infrastructure, however, remains a challenge to future growth.

GSM backhaul solutions via satellite enable you to bypass the terrestrial infrastructure and reach the most remote areas, to extend cellular coverage, create a network backbone or a back-up solution for a terrestrial network.

Eutelsat's satellites are at the heart of such networks, enabling connectivity between remote base transceiver stations and base station controllers, or between controllers and mobile switching centres. Compression technologies optimise the use of satellite bandwidth and reduce transport costs across the GSM network.

:: Communication for all: be the first to extend your service nationwide

:: Unlimited reach: transport traffic within your network to/from any point

:: Fast & flexible: it only takes a few days to establish satellite links so networks are quick to set up and can easily be expanded as your business needs evolve

:: Cost effective: the lowest cost per user in large areas with low population density

:: Profitable: our analysis shows that our solution can be profitable for extremely rural areas

CUSTOMISED SERVICE :: Supporting Abis, A and E interfaces :: State-of-the-art space segment optimisation :: High QoS: customised SLA, 24/7 control center :: Ramp up as your traffic grows :: Reallocation of bandwidth capacity from one link to another in seconds
