Wireless carriers, enterprises and government
agencies, recognizing that their networks are the key to their
success and a source of competitive differentiation, rely
on FiberTower’s backhaul and premise access solutions
to deliver mission and business critical performance.
Backhaul – the portion of the network
that runs from the cell site to the switch – is widely
considered to be the “Achilles heel” of cellular
networks. Today’s TDM backhaul infrastructure, which
hasn't been upgraded in two decades, has failed to keep pace
with other network enhancements. This has inhibited growth,
service quality and operational efficiencies.
Access – the link between the local area
network and the local fiber ring – is challenged by
older technology and poor coverage. According to industry
analysts, due to the shortage of access fiber in metro area
networks, only a fraction of enterprises and government agencies
have access to high capacity services.
FiberTower delivers backhaul and premise access
solutions that solve these challenges and open up markets
that were previously dominated by one or two carriers. FiberTower’s
nationwide spectrum footprint and optimal mix of wireless
and fiber technologies enable wireless carriers to raise the
overall quality of their networks and deliver new service
standards to their customers – all without having to
apply additional capital. FiberTower delivers the coverage,
capacity and service quality that carriers, enterprises and
government agencies demand to upgrade their business operations.
Creating a mission critical network by addressing
performance in the network’s weakest areas will enable
FiberTower customers to protect and strengthen their brands
and gain choice in a market that has traditionally been served
only by Incumbent Local Exchange Carriers (ILECs).
