Inthe case of dual radio operation traffic is divided among two carriers without requiring linkaggregation <strong>and</strong> is not dependant on number of MAC addresses or their momentary trafficcapacity.
“Ethernet is rapidly becoming the leading backhaul technology for mobile operators <strong>and</strong>one that is expected to be in full swing by 2008,” said Michael Howard, Principal Analyst <strong>and</strong> Cofounderof Infonetics Research. “Ethernet microwave revenue for mobile backhaul is forecastedto soar to $1.1 billion by 2010, at which time it will represent 36% of the microwave radio in thebackhaul compared to only 1% in 2006. As operators are building their high b<strong>and</strong>width networks,<strong>Ceragon</strong> <strong>Networks</strong> is positioned to play a major role in enabling these connections <strong>and</strong> helping todrive this IP/Ethernet migration.”“The introduction of the new FibeAir IP-MAX 2 solution raises the bar for maximumEthernet networking capabilities, capacity <strong>and</strong> availability that we believe is unmatched in theindustry,” said Ira Palti,, President <strong>and</strong> CEO, <strong>Ceragon</strong> <strong>Networks</strong> Ltd. “Once again <strong>Ceragon</strong> is firstin answering the industry's evolving needs <strong>and</strong> is leading the network migration to wirelessEthernet <strong>and</strong> next-generation services.”The new FibeAir IP-MAX 2 family includes the FibeAir IP-MAX 2- G with native Ethernet <strong>and</strong>the FibeAir IP-MAX 2 -MS with both native Ethernet <strong>and</strong> native TDM, providing a complete solutionfor all network migration scenarios.
