Reducing congestion in busy backhaul links

Since the explosion in smartphone and laptop dongle use, backhaul congestion has been a persistent issue for mobile network operators.

With growth in data traffic individual backhaul links across the network inevitably become congested, some at a faster rate than others. Users experience poor network performance and may churn to other networks. Links can be upgraded, but where fibre is unavailable this can take time and be expensive.

iQstream Advantages

  • The cost and speed of deployment means you can defer upgrades to busy links, or improve service on congested links until an upgrade is deployed
  • This is the only solution on the market which can optimise encrypted RAN traffic in backhaul links
  • Can be deployed and redeployed within weeks
  • Compatible with all optimisation technologies
  • Unlike caching or mobile optimising software this technology optimises the data traffic from dongles
  • The software optimises those sudden surges in data demand caused by, for example, live TV
  • Voice calls are not affected by iQstream
  • iQstream optimisation is transparent to billing systems, so no corrective workarounds are needed

iQstream RAN optimisation
- from Sycamore Networks & MLL Telecom

iQstream is a solution that enables you to defer the upgrade of congested backhaul links, without any impact on the service to users.

The solution can be deployed within weeks, not months. It is complementary and compatible with other optimisation technologies in the core and at the application layer and its efficiency savings can be compounded with theirs. It is the only solution on the market today which offers true backhaul optimisation in RAN backhaul links, giving you an alternative to link upgrades.

If you would like to cut congestion in your busiest backhaul links without waiting for link upgrades, speak to MLL Telecom today.
