LTE is a new wireless broadband technology that offers data speeds comparable to the fastest fixed broadband technologies, and offers significantly reduced latency to ensure a high-quality end-user experience for real-time, multimedia services. The anticipated increase in consumer and business use of wireless broadband services with the introduction of LTE networks also is expected to drive the need for expanded backhaul capabilities to deal with the challenge of transporting the resulting data traffic.
To meet this need, Alcatel-Lucent - under a global agreement -- will integrate multi-gigabit millimeter wave radios from BridgeWave, the leader in gigabit wireless solutions, into its 9500 Microwave Packet Radio (MPR) transmission solutions. This advancement will expand the frequency range covered by the 9500 MPR with the high-frequency 60-90 GHz spectrum to provide customers up to 2.6 Gbps of capacity, sufficient to support the anticipated transport requirements for 2G, 3G and 4G networks.
"Offering the most cost-effective mobile transport network that maximizes
the relationship between cost and capacity is critical to delivering greater
profitability for mobile network operators, and a better service experience
for end-users," said
"We are proud to collaborate with Alcatel-Lucent, a company with a clear
strategic vision for an open LTE ecosystem," said
With these enhancements, Alcatel-Lucent is further enhancing its Mobile Evolution Transport Architecture (META), the industry's most comprehensive vision for the evolution of mobile networks from TDM to all-IP.
Alcatel-Lucent has historically been a leader in the North American market and has demonstrated this again in 2008 with 34.8 percent market share and the lead position in Q4 2008 (Source: Sky Light Research).
