With emergence of Long Term Evolution (LTE) Services, and its introduction by next year in Japan, equipment manufactures are gearing up to full-fill the operators needs for its long awaited services by introducing new equipments supporting the full IP transport required by LTE. One such company is NEC, which at the beginning of this month announced the launch of its iPASOLINK platform, a key building block in the transformation of backhaul networks to LTE. The new iPASOLINK platform offers a flexible, all-in-one converge design, incorporating packet, microwave and optical technologies, helping operators to deploy high-performance networks without adding unnecessary extra costs. At the heart of new iPASOLINK platform is a powerful traffic switch delivering efficient aggregation, advanced Quality of Service (QoS) as well as low latency. Furthermore, the new iPASOLINK platform incorporates NEC’s high-capacity microwave transmission technology, capable delivery of gigabits per second throughputs through use of high modulations and XPIC (Cross Polarization Interface Canceller). The new iPASOLINK platform supports multiple 1Gbps optical WDM interfaces.
