Mobile traffic volumes are expected to increase exponentially through 2020 and beyond. For mobile backhaul, the evolution from LTE to LTE-Advanced and 5G will increasingly demand higher capacity and lower latency capabilities from operators’ networks. Based on the GSMA 5G report, user terminal speeds are expected to exceed 1 Gbps. End-to-end latency of less than 10 ms will be required to enable delay-sensitive and interactive applications. By 2020 it is expected a 22 fold increase of mobile video traffic putting stringent requirements in terms of capacity and performance on backhaul networks. Therefore, backhaul networks need to be designed to absorb the expected rise in traffic volume utilizing routers with high capacity and radio-aligned advanced features at lowest possible latency.
The Ericsson Router 6000 series is a radio integrated, Service Provider SDN enabled IP transport portfolio managed by a single end to end management system. It delivers high performance connectivity for LTE, LTE-Advanced, 5G, for all applications. The Router 6000 series comprises a set of versatile routers offering the right capacities, resiliency features, and form factors for the diverse and challenging demands of modern backhaul networks with unprecedented quality of experience.
The Ericsson Router 6000 series is a key component of and is tightly integrated with the Ericsson Radio System including Ericsson Radio and Microwave. Service Provider SDN capabilities in the Router 6000 series bring a new dimension of application-aware traffic engineering to access and aggregation networks.
Ericsson Network Manager can be used to manage the complete end-to-end radio access network including radio, fronthaul and backhaul connectivity. This enables seamless plug-and-play capabilities for radio and router installation as well as for network operation.
