Fiber Backhaul Moves to 3G and 4G Networks

The move to 3G and 4G networks has created an opening in the telecom industry for new players. Fiber optic cable is necessary to support these new networks. The tower companies and carriers either do not have the bandwidth or the resources to bring the fiber optic cable to each of their sites. This provides an entry opportunity into the telecom industry for the more traditional fiber companies.

SSAS furnishes these new entrants with an understanding of the industry and the connections necessary to facilitate a smooth transition into the business. By determining the rights and obligations under the lease, obtaining the necessary permissions and facilitating landlord relations, SSAS affords you an uneventful entrance into the market.

Using fiber for what’s called the “backhaul” of traffic from cell sites to the broader voice, data and video networks provides an extraordinarily reliable option for carriers

Fiber networking features fewer electronics in the links, and it also does not suffer the same impact of weather or electromagnetic interference that often affects microwave and copper-based links. Companies with vision know how important employing these fiber-optic Ethernet backhaul capabilities are. It will play a key role in their current network and will become a key part of their overall 4G strategy. Increasingly wireless carriers are discovering the value of switching from traditional backhaul links to the higher-value connections that fiber services offer. At SSAS we can help create an uneventful entrance into that market.
