RAD and Shiron Announce Strategic
Cooperation
RAD A-bis Gateways and TDM Pseudowire Gateways Significantly Reduce Opex for Cellular Operators
RAD Data Communications and Shiron Satellite Communications have announced an agreement on strategic cooperation between their two companies that will allow both providers and users of satellite services to maximise bandwidth efficiencies The agreement pairs Shiron's InterSKY RBOD (Real-Time Bandwidth-On-Demand technology) with RAD's Vmux-400 and Vmux-420 A-bis voice optimisation gateways and its IPmux family of TDM over IP (TDMoIP) pseudowire gateways

Shiron's InterSKY delivers highest-quality broadband satellite services economically to remote locations, and is designed for service providers, enterprises and government agencies.
By combining Shiron's InterSKY VSAT systems with RAD's Vmux voice optimisation gateways and IPmux pseudowire gateways as access devices, cellular operators transporting traffic over satellite links can significantly reduce operating expenses (Opex) across the entire GSM backhaul pathway.
"Satellite services are billed according to the quantity of bandwidth consumed, so cellular operators that have opted for such resources are under ceaseless pressure to implement whatever measures are available to maximise bandwidth efficiencies," explains Amir Karo, Associate Vice President, Product Management and Business Development, at RAD Data Communications.

"RAD's Vmux and IPmux access products are prefect complements to Shiron's InterSKY RBOD because they permit satellite service providers to offer their customers a more attractive, efficient and complete solution".
RAD's Vmux-400 and Vmux-420 A-bis (BTS to BSC) optimisation gateways combined with Shiron's InterSKY Broadband Satellite Communications Systems enable mobile operators to make better use of their GSM network resources by offering up to 3:1 bandwidth optimisation, as well as a 2:1 reduction in the number of E1 ports required for backhaul without any compromise in voice quality.
This solution eliminates inefficiencies to yield bandwidth savings of 50 percent and more, greatly reducing the amount of satellite uptime required.
RAD's Vmux A-bis optimisation gateways, moreover, ensure maximum scalability, given that up to twelve E1 voice trunks can be connected over a single E1 or a 10/100 Mbps Ethernet uplink.
They also distinguish themselves in the market by offering precise clock regeneration over IP.
Using RAD's patented TDMoIP technology, the company's IPmux family of TDM pseudowire gateways enables carriers and service providers to take advantage of new IP/Ethernet/MPLS packet switched networks (PSNs) for transporting TDM-based CDMA backhaul traffic.
Pseudowires convert and encapsulate E1/T1 traffic into packets for transmission over the IP/Ethernet/MPLS domain.
This protects PBX investments while enabling a smooth migration to Next Generation packet switched networks.
Pseudowire offers an attractive price-performance ratio without compromising voice quality.
"One of RAD's advantages is its network of distributors in Africa, Asia and Oceania, whose vast expanses are best served by satellite solutions," states Oscar Glottmann, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Shiron.
"This alliance will enable cellular operators to implement reliable, cost-effective solutions for deployment of remote micro-cells over satellite".
