Enterprise MDU/MTU Making use of Libra MAX, service providers can increase their ARPU by offering more services to more subscribers without increasing their infrastructure costs. In fact, the Libra MAX MTU/ MDU solution works with traditional wireline infrastructure and makes use of the advanced networking features in NetMOS to provide layer-2 customer separation. With Libra MAX, service providers can extend their physical reach--adding more MDU/MTU organizations- -as well as reduce costs and increase their overall subscriber base. Urban Hotzones EION s hotzone solution raises the bar for reliability, speed and coverage. Using the global wireless standard IEEE 802.11or WiFi, along with WiMAX backhaul products EION based hotzones enable your customers to simultaneously connect to the internet or their corporate networks at broadband speeds in virtually any public place, without the constraints of wires or cables. EION s field-proven fixed wireless products provide a cost effective backhaul by eliminating the need for expensive fibre. Backhaul Many service providers overlook a vital part of their network: backhaul. Once customer traffic reaches the remote office or cell site, this data needs to be reliably transported back to switches and internet gateways. Wireless backhaul is a low-cost way to connect cell towers to mobile telephone switching offices (MTSOs). With WiMAX, Libra MAX provides throughput at several times that which can be delivered by conventional hard-wired networks--making Libra MAX an extremely cost-effective backhaul alternative.
