Leading Kenya Operator Migrates from TDM to Hybrid Microwave, Eyes All IP
Safaricom, the leading mobile operator in Kenya, East Africa, has been in business since 2000. Then owned by the Kenya government, it started as an analog mobile phone network. It’s now a fully independent, publicly traded mobile operator. Over time as it transitioned technologies, it accumulated legacy TDM equipment. But with growing 3G HSDPA and WiMAX businesses, Safaricom had to enable more Ethernet capacity for 3G and WiMAX data while leveraging its TDM base for 2G/3G voice. It needed a hybrid microwave backhaul to extend its TDM investment and allow it flexibility for Ethernet data expansion.

Synchronization is creating quite a stir in the mobile backhaul industry as operators are wrestling with a variety of synchronization technology options including Synchronous Ethernet (SyncE) and Precision Time Protocol (PTP) a.k.a IEEE 1588v2. This paper reviews unique microwave backhaul characteristics that need to be taken into account in support of synchronization, and how each particular synch approach can be addressed.

There are many factors to consider when engineering access and short-haul millimeterwave radio paths in relation to rain fading and traffic outages. Long-established reference models, sophisticated software and high-speed computational devices can help narrow the decision-making window for the microwave transmission engineer. However, much also depends on the end-use applications and overall objective for any particular microwave network. Microwave transmission engineers have to use their experience and professional judgment in determining how to best use these rain fading and outage tools for their specific networking projects. This white paper examines some of the classic models and pertinent mission questions for microwave radio network rain fading and outages.

MICROWAVE PATH AVAILABILITY AND ERROR PERFORMANCE: WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE? In considering how to establish realistic outage or reliability objectives for wireless networks, several things need to be kept in mind. A single overall design objective, for not more than X hours, minutes or seconds’ outage, over such periods as a year is an oversimplification. The character of the particular kind of outage and its effect on the system and its subscribers should be taken into account, and perhaps there should even be different objectives for different types of outage.

Aviat Networks’ position is that where the risk of interference is minimal, smaller microwave antennas should be allowed as this lowers the total running cost for point-to-point links and would increase the viability of lower traffic rural links.

This white paper provides a definition of Packet Microwave radio systems and demonstrates how these systems along with Hybrid radio systems are providing an ideal solution for wireless backhaul for next generation mobile broadband networks. Packet Microwave platforms offer highly scalable solution that leverages new technology features to enable higher throughputs to keep pace with expected growth in demand. Hybrid microwave solutions can also support all required Packet Microwave features but add crucial support for native TDM for ongoing legacy traffic needs, giving operators the best of all possible network migration solutions in a single platform.
