BX7000 Multi-Access Gateway effectively addresses the backhaul
evolution challenge for mobile operators with the most operationally efficient approach.
Competing cell site gateways make the evolution to next-generation (2.5G to 4G)
infrastructures very challenging, as they lack the necessary scalability, density, flexibility
and reliability, and are complex to deploy and manage. Moreover, the previous generation
of cell site gateways are based on older expensive legacy or older IP technologies, which
limits roadmaps for enhancement and inhibits the roll out of newer IP-based services.
The BX7000 leverages Juniper Networks industry-leading IP/MPLS expertise as well as its
circuit emulation expertise for pseudowire support of both ATM and TDM over both IP and
MPLS. Designing next-generation backhaul networks based on IP/MPLS will significantly
reduce OPEX of mobile operators.
Juniper’s end-to-end mobile backhaul solution includes the BX7000, a Circuit Emulation
PIC family for Juniper Networks M Series Multiservice Edge Routers and Juniper Networks
Junos Scope management framework capabilities, plus the solution is fully aligned with
Juniper’s Ethernet aggregation solution with Juniper Networks MX Series 3D Universal
Edge Routers. This solution extends Juniper’s proven IP/MPLS leadership from the IP
core to the edge of mobile operator’s radio access networks. In addition to addressing
operator’s OPEX and bandwidth challenges today, the solution paves the way for future
migration to 4G technologies.
Product Overview
Mobile operators’ networks are
increasingly under pressure today,
especially the network’s backhaul
portion. Demand for new bandwidth-
hungry services is stretching the
existing infrastructure, while declining
average revenue per user inhibit
investment. Operators need a new
approach to mobile backhaul—one
that is scalable, flexible, cost effective
and ensures a smooth migration to
future technologies. The BX7000
Multi-Access Gateway meets
these needs. The BX7000 reliably
transports TDM, ATM and packet
traffic over IP/MPLS using pseudowire
technology. Designed for the space
and environmental constraints of
the cell site, the BX7000 features
common uplink types such as
copper, Ethernet and DSL to support
both legacy (2G and 3G) and next-
generation (WiMAX and LTE) mobile
technologies.
