Superfast Backhaul Service Is Here Now

Aug. 11, 2011 - PRLog -- In response to the ever growing demand for high speed mobile backhaul services that are capable of coping with ballooning data traffic, Marlow based MLL Telecom www.mlltelecom.com has launched a new backhaul service for LTE networks which is believed to be the first in the UK.

LTE cells are now delivering data speeds of around 300 Mbit/s and existing mobile backhaul services need to be scaled up to cope with demand. The actual speeds of the new LTE backhaul service can be tailored to suit customer requirements but they can scale up to 500 Mbit/s or to 1 Gbit/s with cross-polarisation.

Clearly, it is not cost effective to install fibre everywhere so this service is designed to complement and extend its existing reach. MLL is increasing the bandwidth delivered by LTE and increasing backhaul speeds for future years by using microwave radio links to extend network coverage.

The company owns its own spectrum across the UK at 32GHz and 40GHz and can therefore offer its new service at surprisingly cost effective prices. It can also take advantage of its existing in-house radio expertise within its network operations centre, an out-of-band management system and a team of field engineers, to provide, plan and maintain the highly engineered links.

The LTE links that the company has already installed are maintaining the high level of availability and resilience that it experiences from its existing microwave links, so it is confident that it will provide its customers with the same high service levels they are used to.
