(TSX: DWI; NASDAQ: DRWI) a leading global supplier of packet microwave radio systems for mobile and access networks, today announced the addition of its Avenue product line and complementary e-band solutions to the Cisco® Small Cell Wireless Backhaul Ecosystem.
DragonWaves product line provides line-of-sight (LOS) and non-line-of-sight (NLOS) solutions utilizing 2-80 GHz licensed and unlicensed backhaul spectrum. DragonWave offers solutions targeted at all-outdoor small cell backhaul, with extremely compact, simple-to-deploy solutions. With solutions covering sub-6 GHz, 24-60 GHz, and 70/80 GHz, and offering bandwidths from 100Mbps to >1 Gbps full duplex capacity, DragonWaves products are optimized for 3G/LTE small cell deployments.
DragonWaves products meet the requirements for LTE, with capabilities that include low delay and SynchE, as well as 1588v2 compatibility.
Cisco created an ecosystem of wireless solutions centered on Ciscos mobile Internet backhaul solution, Unified MPLS for Mobile Transport (UMMT). This ecosystem pairs the Cisco ASR 901 Series Aggregation Services Routers with wireless backhaul vendors that offer products with proven interoperability through active deployments by service providers around the world.
The combined DragonWave/Cisco solution meets service providers requirements for end-to-end outdoor small cell backhaul, addressing scalability, zero-touch provisioning, flexibility, manageability, end-to-end QoS, predictable and reliable operation, network synchronization, and simplicity in scaling for growth. In addition, the solution provides low total cost of ownership, low-impact form factors deployable at street level, and a proven and deployed offering built on Ciscos Metro Ethernet Forum (MEF)-certified solution deployed on more than one million wireless backhaul links.
The Cisco Small Cell Wireless Backhaul Ecosystem is an important initiative delivering tangible value and industry leadership to mobile operators implementing small cell infrastructure, said Ed Chang, vice president of Product Management, Cisco. By collaborating with DragonWave, we are strongly positioned to deliver best-in-class performance for all mobile operators.
