Arcadiz Telecom addresses operators' 3G network optimization challenges

Leuven , March 9 , 2006 — Arcadiz Telecom adds Eastern Research Inc.’s BSG-1u Base Station Access Gateway for mobile operators to its product portfolio.

The BSG-1u of Eastern Research enables mobile wireless operators to optimize their transition to high-speed mobile data and multimedia services, reduce backhaul costs in the radio access network (RAN), and converge traffic from multiple generations of radio equipment and overlay networks in the process.

Purpose-built for base stations, the compact BSG-1u helps address the coverage, capacity, network convergence and system control challenges many operators face as they deploy 3G networks.

As mobile operators expand their data service coverage and capacity, they need effective strategies to reduce expenses and extract maximum benefit from their radio access network investments. The BSG-1u helps operators migrate their RANs to converged, packet-based architectures with the capacity to support high-bandwidth multimedia services.

Marc Vandeputte , Marketing & Development Manager at Arcadiz Telecom states: “3G allows extremely fast communication and is extremely powerful. Mobile providers are gearing up to upgrade their technology to further develop their services and applications offering. We believe the BSG-1u will become a decisive component to make this happen.”
