Mobile Applications
Driven by the soaring growth in mobile demand, the wireless networking infrastructure is undergoing a continuous transition process from one technological generation to another. There is a growing demand for new services, ever increasing bandwidth and support for more capable smartphones and end devices. The unprecedented growth in traffic undermines the foundations of existing mobile network architectures, necessitating the introduction of newer, more capable technologies and architectures. Tera-Pass’ family of Orion IP Solutions, Apodis OTN Processors, and Virgo Intelligent SFP+ optical modules, offer opportunities to significantly enhance the cost/performance of optical systems.
Orion implements the ITU-T Recommendation for the electronic multiplexing of 4G CPRI signals in the Mobile Fronthaul (MFH) network, allowing operators to slash the size of the optical infrastructure needed by Radio Access Network (RAN) deployments.
With Orion IP Solutions supporting CPRI 3/4/5/7/8/9 signals, Orion is the perfect tool for a system architect designing a Network Element for Mobile Fronthaul (MFH) networks.
Tera-Pass offers Orion IP Solutions that are fully integrated on FPGAs, including the design of the required transceivers and their associated jitter attenuators.
Apodis OTN processors offer unique capabilities supporting Ethernet (FE/1GE/10GE) and a range of CPRI signals (CPRI-1/2/3/4/5/7/8).
In the context of Ethernet signals, Apodis processors offer an integrated support of IEEE 1588 timing protocols and support also SyncE transport.
In the context of CPRI signals, Apodis OTN processors meet the 2ppb jitter requirement for effective transport of CPRI signals over OTN.
Apodis OTN processors offer unprecedented opportunities for Network Equipment (NE) vendors to introduce optical systems that slash the costs of the optical infrastructure required to support both backhaul and fronthaul applications.
Through their unique capabilities in supporting the transport of both Ethernet and CPRI signals over OTN, Apodis processors enable simple, cost-effective solutions for an integrated support of multi-generation cellular networks.
Virgo Intelligent SFP+ optical modules empower 10GE signals with FEC (Forward Error Correction) algorithms that provide strong power gains: 8.1dB when deploying Super-FEC I.7, 6.2dB when using GFEC.
Virgo modules can be ordered with a range of optical wavelengths (1310/1550nm; DWDM; CWDM) and optical reach (10/40/80/100Km).
Virgo Intelligent SFP+ modules are offered in 2 basic versions: Plug & Play (P&P), that automatically switch into operation on plug-in, and Managed, that allow a host µP to manage the 10GE and OTU2e or OTU2 bearer functionalities.
The unique capabilities of Virgo SFP+ modules can be used to enhance the optical link quality, to extend the optical reach, or a combination of both.
