The Challenge

The Solution

One of the world’s leading Mobile Network Operators (MNO), Vodafone, is committed to serving its customers with high speed, ubiquitous 3G coverage. Many popular holiday destinations across Europe, in regions served by the operator, are in locations with poor and limited terrestrial connectivity options. These destinations benefi t from an infl ux of holiday makers during peak times which increases the demand for mobile data availability.

Historically, it has been diffi cult justifying the operational and capital costs of backhaul infrastructure for such seasonal peaks, which can result in a poor user experience. Such varied backhaul requirements needed a robust and fl exible solution where speed and reliability were not compromised.

Summary

Service Provider: VodafoneRegion: Europe

Sector: Carrier Services;

Vertical: Cellular Backhaul;

Avanti’s network integration team worked with Vodafone to identify, design and integrate a fl exible, cost effective and ultra-fast service to deliver additional backhaul capacity to existing sites, and primary connectivity to new sites previously deemed commercially unviable. Designed to provide primary connectivity as well as overspill for traffi c during peak times, Avanti’s leading Ka-band satellite technology enables “carrier grade” backhaul to be delivered to even rural and remote locations.

Cellular Backhaul over satellite has proven to be the smart and cost effective technology when compared to terrestrial backhaul options. Following a series of highly successful trials, the network operator is using satellite backhaul for both primary connectivity and 3G data overspill from small terrestrial backhaul circuits. Avanti’s IP backhaul product provides fl exible bandwidth that can shift throughout the operator’s network, meeting network demand as it occurs.

Avanti has revolutionised the economics of Cellular Backhaul by overcoming the fundamental barriers of cost, capacity, backhaul use cases and length of deployment.

We are the leading satellite operator for 2G, 3G and LTE backhaul. Our High Throughput Satellites (HTS) provide up to 380Mbps to remote and rural base stations and our technology not only cuts operational costs by up to 70%, but also delivers SLA’s never seen before in the satellite industry. We can extend your reach, expand your market opportunity and help cut costs. Whatever your requirements or challenges, our technology will complement your existing network, allowing you to scale your network to meet demand.
