Mobile backhaul
Software R&D services for mobile backhaul solutions
Backhaul is a portion of the mobile network which connects radio access part of the network - radio base stations (NodeB, BTS, etc) - with the core part of the networks (BSC, RNC, etc). Currently there is a distinct trend to migrate from circuit-switched ATM-based to packet-switched IP-based backhaul solutions. MERA actively contributes to such migration and provides software R&D services for the following backhaul solutions:
- ATM-IP Gateways,
- Abis over IP implementation,
- Intellectual IP routers with embedded telecom functionality such as QoS, OAM, etc.
MERA’s competence includes:
- Abis interface,
- Software development for different types of network processors,
- Various IP stacks for embedded Linux,
- Real time processing on Linux.
