Aviat Networks has been there all along the way, helping operators design and deploy aggregation systems. We’ve seen and learned a lot as some of the leading mobile phone carriers have upgraded their networks. Now as LTE works its way into mainstream status, cell phone networks are transitioning to full-IP, the underlying technology of LTE.
One of our IP experts, Hadi Choueiry, network solutions architect, recently sat down and went through the process of moving a leading European operator to LTE. The network design for LTE required traffic shaping and QoS (Quality of Service) policies, according to Choueiry. With QoS policies, the operator’s microwave backhaul maintains services for high priority LTE traffic through all conditions. Other TDM-to-IP lessons Choueiry has learned include:
