Celtro's Flexible Backhaul Switching Solutions Enable Adaptive Migration to 4G and All-IP RAN


TEL AVIV, Israel, October 17 /PRNewswire/ --

- New Mobile Backhaul Switches Enable Delivery of Multimedia Services 
Like Mobile TV and Video Over Existing Backhaul Infrastructure, Protecting 
Past Network Investments and Keeping Future Expenses in Check

Celtro, a pioneer and leading global supplier of cellular backhaul 
switching solutions, today announced the launch of the next-generation 
members of its DynaMate family, the DMT1000 and DMT4000 switches. Celtro
DynaMate(TM) adaptive backhaul switching solutions empower cellular operators
to provide the most advanced broadband mobile services when migrating the
mobile network from 3G and HSPA to 4G of LTE and WiMax, while keeping
infrastructure costs in check.

Providers can now, for the first time, choose a cost-effective, flexible,
one-box solution that supports all radio technologies of 2G, 2.5G, 3G, HSPA
and 4G LTE/WiMax, all backhaul technologies of TDM, ATM, Carrier Ethernet, 
MPLS and IP with PWE interworking, and the various backhaul network
architectures of hybrid or converged traffic over ATM and IP/MPLS - enabling
increased revenue generation through delivery of more advanced services, with
significant savings in network CapEx and OpEx.

Designed from the ground up to solve pressing backhaul network challenges 
for top-tier mobile providers, the DMT1000 and DMT4000 leverage Celtro's 
powerful, future-proof and field-proven DynaMate(TM) technology. Already 
commercially deployed in thousands of mobile sites by top-tier mobile 
operators serving hundreds of millions of subscribers worldwide each day,
DynaMate products offer application layer switching, featuring unique traffic
optimization and statistical multiplexing for maximum efficiency, dynamic 
sharing of backhaul resources for all traffic types for improved service 
delivery, as well as application-aware QoS for mobile voice, video, and data.

"The traffic being generated by HSDPA means that operators can no longer
satisfy themselves just with transport efficiency savings deep in the
network. They need to support functionality across the mobile backhaul
network that will generate savings and improve capacity and service delivery
where the bandwidth constraints are felt most acutely. Operators will welcome
Celtro's evolution of the DMT family to address this emerging multi-service
market which is key to making 3G data services profitable", according to
Patrick Donegan, senior analyst at Heavy Reading.

"Since traditional microwave, copper and fiber infrastructure
technologies are hard-pressed and expensive to scale up to wireless broadband
requirements, the backhaul has become the new 'weakest link' in provider
networks," noted Shahar Gorodeisky, CTO and VP Marketing at Celtro. "By
offering single-box solutions that are both cost-effective and
revenue-generating today, and also support the migration to 4G and all-IP RAN
tomorrow - Celtro has cemented its position as the most innovative,
customer-centric provider of cellular backhaul switching solutions in the
market today," he concluded.

The compact (1RU) DMT1000, designed for cell sites and cell
site aggregation points, provides E1/T1, STM1/OC3 and Ethernet universal
interfaces, for aggregating and optimizing mobile traffic over TDM, ATM,
Ethernet, MPLS or IP backhaul networks. The larger (4RU) and scalable
DMT4000, designed for hub sites and BSC/RNC sites, offers the same features
and benefits as its smaller sibling, on a much larger scale. Both new DMT
products are fully backward-compatible with previous DMT models.
