Use of fSONA for wireless networks connectivity. Mike, In wireless networks with use plain microwave to interconnect the Base Station Terminals to the Base Station Controllers. We give one E1 for each BTS in urban areas and squeeze four of them into an E1 in suburban Rural areas. The PDH microwave scale up from 4x2 Mbit/s, to 8X2Mbit/s to 16x2Mbit/s. When it is not possible to link with MW we lease lines from the providers using for that HDSL modems. Only on the BSC there voice is compressed. Usually BSC to BSC are interconnected over SDH. When wireless vendors talk about 3G (mobile Nirvana and all that we discussed over the weekend) they intend to use ATM in those BTS, BSC and MSC interconnection. When we have existing PDH they plan to cicuit emulate them over ATM. It is against those PDH microwave interconnection that fSONA has to position their product. There is a benefit that vendors want in a connctivity product: speed, speed speed of implementation. I tomorrow morning I would arrive in the office and would find that I would have to implment BTS connectivity that we would not need manage the frequency spectrum, and that would be the case of sending my subcontractors with a fSONA under their arm install it, run diagnostics and report them ON AIR in one day, boy I would be a happy guy! Now if I had them in the store to use them, then I would be a VERY happy guy! That's because there is a worldwide (real or otherwise) lack of microwave for us to build our networks. This is because the vendor A microwave does not be managed by the management system of vendor B, so we cannot aimplement multivendor microwave network. Then we are at the mercy of the vendor we started with. That is why ERICY adn Siemens in-house MW capability.
