The EtherEdge 4300 is a ultra small, flexible, Ethernet mobile backhaul solution that provides service operators maximum base station flexibility and allows carriers to access as well as transport converged service applications, such as wireless backhaul, over TDM and packet infrastructures. The EtherEdge 4300 addresses the demand for higher bandwidth and QoS for converged applications, including 3G and 4G mobile backhaul technologies, as they migrate from TDM legacy protocols, Ethernet, MPLS and beyond. Leveraging network visibility associated with Carrier Ethernet, the EtherEdge 4300 can significantly reduce operational costs for 2.5G/3G/4G LTE and WiMAX base station providers (OEMs), mobile service operators, and wireless backhaul network operators.
