TDM Mobile Backhaul

Transporting Multiple T1 Circuits over fiber for Cell Tower Backhaul

The following application shows an example of how the iConverter T1/E1 MUX is used in a TDM mobile backhaul network to transport multiple T1 circuits over fiber to a cell tower.

Using the iConverter T1/E1 MUX/M at the Cell Site, the service provider is able to multiplex up to sixteen T1/E1 circuits on a common fiber link. The fiber carries the multiplexed traffic to a second iConverter T1/E1 MUX/M that is installed at the Base Station Controller (BNC). The T1/E1 MUX/M converts the TDM traffic back to T1/E1 interfaces, where it is connected to the TDM network.
