A good backhaul solution…
 Maintains a reliable, low cost connection
between cell sites and mobile exchange
 Assures compliance to
service level agreements (SLAs)
via the use of performance monitoring
customer web-portal
 Provides a scalable architecture
reliably supporting future growth in
service, customer, and network size
 Supports both legacy and
next generation service (including
synchronization) delivery and transport
 Minimizes the operational costs
associated with end to end service
activation, assurance and diagnostics.

Reliable, Low Cost
High QoE, High Availability, Simple
 Always-on
– Service Availability via Network Resiliency
 Quality of Experience (QoE)
– Low latency <5ms one-way delay
– Predicates fiber; home-run point to point
– Limited switch points and router hops
 Prioritizes Real-time applications
– H-QoS mechanisms
– Policing, Queuing, Scheduling, Shaping
– MEF compliant traffic management
 Low-cost, simplified network
– Ethernet access/aggregation
– Minimal re-architecting

Methods to Increase Mobile Broadband Capacity
– Growth in small cells: decrease cell radius 
increase bandwidth per subscriber
– Centralized baseband processing  increase in
fiber connectivity to remote radio heads
– Spectral efficiency improvements in LTE
– Increases in spectrum availability
– Use of non-license spectrum (i.e. Wi-Fi) for data
offload

Mobile Data Offload
This is a lot more expensive than this
This was designed for voice and this
was designed for data
So, carriers are devising ways to keep
voice on the current cellular
infrastructure and move all data
sessions to available Wi-Fi

 Managing scalability of thousands of APs
Wi-Fi Offload Addresses
Bottlenecks in Radio
Network and MBH network
 Ensuring seamless connectivity and mobility between 3G/4G and Wi-Fi networks
 Taming unpredictable nature of traditional Wi-Fi networks
Solution: vWLAN enables scalable provisioning and policy enforcement for highly
distributed Carrier Wi-Fi access networks, while enforcing predictable and repeatable
behavior of unlicensed Wi-Fi spectrum

Wi-Fi Advancements: Hotspot 2.0
Hotspot 2.0 Overview
– Hotspot 2.0 allows for seamless and secure roaming between
3G/4G and Wi-Fi networks: simple and secure as roaming
between cell towers
– Phase 1: Discovery (covered by 802.11u) and Security (Covered
by WPA2 Enterprise (includes EAP-SIM)
– Phase 2: Registration (account creation) and Provisioning
