How do we get from here to all-IP? What deployment scenario gives the greatest payback and operational efficiencies? Operators and transport providers are at various stages of the decision process, including planning, lab trials, field trials, and early deployments, but few are in full rollouts. New technologies, new products, and discoveries about deficiencies in existing solutions provide new considerations for the planning and decision process. This session examines:
- Findings from early all-IP deployments and mobile operator business cases to plan all-IP deployments
- Timeframes and business cases for Ethernet/IP on copper, fiber, and microwave
- Considerations to determine the optimal IP/Ethernet deployment point: now, with HSDPA, traffic dependent, 4G, or LTE

Can Ethernet deliver the clock synchronization needed for 2G/3G voice, so that a single backhaul technology can be used for voice and data rather than a hybrid approach? New, non-GPS solutions are available that carry time-sensitive voice on an Ethernet connection along with data and video. This session examines:
- How Ethernet can be used to backhaul 2G/3G voice traffic, including current vendor solutions
- Carrier feedback from early deployments, field trials, and lab testing
- Clock synchronization issues and how to achieve synchronization with Ethernet equipment
- Packet-based clock synchronization protocols and standardization status

As a greenfield, IP-based, and data-centric network, mobile WiMAX has the opportunity to side-step the backhaul challenges of traditional cellular networks by utilizing next-gen backhaul solutions from the outset. To develop a mobile WiMAX service strategy, operators need to understand the lessons learned from cellular backhaul as well as the new challenges in providing backhaul for a new and as-yet untried wireless technology. This session examines:
- Existing mobile backhaul architectures and solutions for WiMAX
- Traffic growth expectations for mobile WiMAX
- Converging cellular and mobile WiMAX backhaul on common facilities
- Operator plans and new challenges generated by mobile WiMAX backhaul, including solutions deployable today

Panelists:
- Aviv Ronai, Chief Marketing Officer, Ceragon
- Dan Kurschner, Solutions Marketing Manager for IP Transport, Cisco
- Bruce Miller, CTO and VP of Engineering, Turin

To achieve much needed operational efficiencies, mobile operators are deciding how to aggregate and converge 2G/3G and UMTS/CDMA traffic on common backhaul infrastructure. With the many radio access technologies (iDEN, GSM, W-CDMA, CDMA), aggregating all forms of traffic has become a major headache. Operators need solutions that provide high availability and deliver reliable performance and operational efficiencies. This session examines:
- Requirements for aggregating and converging 2G/3G and UMTS/CDMA traffic
- IP radio access aggregation techniques, such as dedicated nodes, edge routers, and multi-access convergence gateways
- Solutions and deployment scenarios, now and in the future, including the mobile operators’ perspective

Mobile video subscribers pay a premium, and in return expect high quality service each time they watch. This puts enormous pressure on mobile backhaul networks to quickly transport data traffic back to switching centers, and maintain the quality of the video feed along the way. This session examines:
- How to maintain video QoE, from the video content server through the mobile backhaul network
- Carrier feedback from early deployments, field trials, and lab testing
- Comparisons of Ethernet wireline and microwave technologies for video backhaul, including current vendor solutions
