Mobile Backhaul
Create an Affordable and Seamless Path to 4G
Fully integrated across access, aggregation and core networks, the Mobile Backhaul Solution from BTI Systems is an end-to-end offering designed to help providers keep pace with customer demand for mobile services. It’s the only solution on the market that supports widespread 3G and 4G deployments in metro and regional networks by providing an end-end, unified packet approach for voice, data and multimedia services with comprehensive network management.
An All-Packet Approach to Mobile Backhaul
BTI’s Mobile Backhaul Solution delivers an affordable and elegant path to 4G, enabling a smooth, quick and cost-effective migration path from 2G TDM networks to 4G and beyond while also supporting native all-4G builds. It lays a stable and secure foundation for next-generation mobile broadband deployments and supports higher bandwidth rates at an attractive cost, while allowing service providers to build a highly available packet infrastructure with consistent, QoS-enabled services and an access-agnostic architecture.
Complemented by BTI’s Carrier Ethernet Business Services Solution, the Mobile Backhaul Solution is an excellent foundation for a packet-based, high-speed broadband network providing for an efficient and cost-effective evolution to 4G.

BTI’s innovative and cost-effective Mobile Backhaul Solution allows service providers to fully leverage their infrastructures to capitalize on the mobile broadband explosion.
Converged Packet Optical and Application Intelligence Platforms
The BTI Mobile Backhaul Solution delivers high performance with flexibility and intelligence. Carrier-grade packet optical platforms and innovative application intelligent elements allow service providers to mirror the scalability, security and service prioritization of private-line connectivity within a QoS-enabled, shared packet network—from access to core.
End-To-End Solution with Turnkey Capabilities
BTI’s Mobile Backhaul Solution allows service providers to deploy a complete solution, from the cell tower to the Mobile Switching Center (MSC). Multiservice capabilities allow graceful migration to an all-packet metro or regional backhaul network, with full support for T1/E1 connectivity. Resilient fiber ring protection and ITU G.8032 support ensures high service availability across access, aggregation and metro core networks. Fully transparent, low-latency single and multiclock synchronization is also supported throughout the network.
Add New Revenue-Generating Service Offerings
BTI’s Mobile Backhaul Solution and its components provide an infrastructure that can be leveraged for additional revenue-generating services. For example, using the BTI 700 Series, BTI 800 Series or BTI 7000 Series packetVX elements makes it simple to offer Carrier Ethernet Business Services to enterprises within an industrial park in close proximity to a cell tower. Leveraging an optical, ROADM-based metro core with BTI's Dynamic Optical Layer makes it easy to extend WDM and optical transport services to enterprises or other service providers. BTI proNX Service Management Suite helps simplify network operations across a converged services environment, with consistent service provisioning, service templates and more.
Complete service assurance capabilities
With the intuitive, web-based BTI proNX SLA Portal, service providers can meet or exceed strict SLAs commonly included in wireless operator contracts, to lock in 4G footprint on the network. The BTI Mobile Backhaul Solution fully supports ITU Y.1731 Ethernet OAM for end-to-end service visibility and SLA monitoring. Embedded processing of Y.1731 messages also eliminates the need for stacks of network interface devices.
