TELECOMS :: GSM BACKHAUL
Connecting GSM networks in even the most remote areas
As communications networks extend to ever more remote areas, the terrestrial infrastructure required to interconnect GSM networks is not always sufficient. Satellites provide an ideal GSM backhaul solution, to extend cellular coverage, create a network backbone, or even provide a back-up solution if there is a problem with the terrestrial network.
Eutelsat's satellites are at the heart of such networks, enabling connectivity between remote base transceiver stations (BTS) and base station controllers (BSC), or between controllers and mobile switching centres (MSC).
Compression technologies eliminate redundant silence and idle frames in both the A-Bis (BSC to BTS) and A-Ter (MSC to BSC) links, optimising satellite bandwidth usage and reducing transport costs across the GSM network.
GSM backhauling via satellite enables you to bypass the terrestrial infrastructure, connecting the most remote areas. Networks are quick to set up and can easily be expanded as your business needs evolve.
