CENX, Inc., operator of the world´s first and most connected Carrier Ethernet exchanges, with more than 15 million accessible ESLs (Ethernet Service Locations), today announced further expansion of its industry leading 4G-LTE wireless backhaul platform, including support of LightSquared´s deployment of its nationwide 4G-LTE wireless broadband network.
Wireless operators implementing LTE require (i) ubiquitous Ethernet backhaul, which means integrating multiple access providers across a region, (ii) a certain path to multi-class of service, which is the only way to secure the lowest cost per bit, and (iii) support systems for monitoring backhaul and SLAs that are Ethernet ready. CENX´s comprehensive OSS platform resolves all three challenges; it features systems and processes for rapid integration of diverse backhaul providers together a complete set of processes for order fulfillment, tracking, provisioning, turn up testing, and operational performance/fault monitoring.
"Our decision to work with CENX was based on their unparalleled expertise in Carrier Ethernet and its exchange services," said LightSquared Chief Network Officer Doug Smith. "CENX´s advanced OSS will help ensure LightSquared delivers a best-in-class integrated 4G-LTE wireless broadband and satellite network."
"Efficiently delivering the bandwidth required in the wireless backhaul space is the single biggest challenge in the industry; Carrier Ethernet, with its Multi-Class of Service capability, can break the bandwidth logjam and drive the lowest cost per bit and higher profitability. " said Nan Chen, President of CENX. "We are proud to be supporting LightSquared´s development of its industry changing network."
