[SatNews] Sevis Systems, Inc., a global provider of mobile backhaul and signaling solutions, has unveiled its 3G GSM bandwidth optimization platform.

The Sevis 6104 is a cost-effective backhaul solution designed to optimize GSM traffic on 4 E1/T1 links over a variety of WAN infrastructures such as IP, digital leased E1/T1 lines, Ethernet and satellite. It is specifically designed for rural areas in the developing world, where a lower concentration of subscribers limits mobile telephone coverage due to prohibitively expensive operational costs. The Sevis 6104 employs field-proven GSM A.bis optimization algorithms that significantly reduce backhaul bandwidth. In particular, it decreases satellite bandwidth consumption and the operating costs of microwave and leased line networks. The result is a dramatic reduction in bandwidth requirements across the Radio Access Network (RAN) without degradation in voice quality or network reliability, while lowering both operating expenses (OpEx) and capital expenses (CapEx) at the same time.

The Sevis 6104 boasts a rugged design that is ideal for harsh environmental conditions in rural areas and meets the requirements for longevity and high reliability in emerging markets where national infrastructure is limited. The 6104 is the latest addition to the Sevis 6000 Series of backhaul optimization solutions, which are deployed globally by major cellular operators and optimize traffic from numerous RAN vendors including Ericsson, Nokia-Siemens, Huawei, Alcatel-Lucent, Motorola, Nortel, and ZTE.
