CAMPBELL, CA--(Marketwire - April 21, 2010) - Exalt Communications, the company that is reinventing microwave backhaul, today announced that Eagle Telephone System of Richland, Oregon, has deployed its microwave backhaul systems to eliminate interference issues inherent in its legacy microwave network, deliver scalable Ethernet bandwidth and provide seamless TDM to IP migration.
"Our fixed-frequency radios were having interference problems in some areas of our network, and the Exalt systems allow us to address all three bands in the 5 GHz spectrum with the ability to tune in 1-Mhz increments," said Mark Christman, manager of Eagle Telephone System. "Since we deployed the Exalt backhaul systems, we have had no issues."
The Exalt all-indoor systems deployed by Eagle Telephone serve hops ranging from 2 to 32 miles in length, and are configured for 4 T1 lines and 10 megabits per second (Mbps) of Ethernet data traffic. The systems are expandable to 16 T1 lines and 100 Mbps via software upgrade. Eagle Telephone has recently begun offering wireless Internet services to customers in its 400 square-mile service area, and plans to migrate the entire network from TDM to all-IP within the year.
To remain competitive and better serve their subscriber bases, regional telephone service providers like Eagle Telephone must offer Ethernet services for broadband access and other applications while, at the same time, maintaining their legacy TDM services. Eagle Telephone is one of many such providers choosing Exalt microwave backhaul systems, which offer pay-as-you-grow scalability that enables Eagle to offer IP services to its subscribers now, and seamless migration from TDM to IP over time.
"Our microwave backhaul systems were designed for maximum flexibility in network migration," said Amir Zoufonoun, president and CEO of Exalt Communications. "Eagle Telephone, like many other service providers, chose Exalt in order to maintain its legacy T1 services and scale its IP bandwidth on its timeline and within its budget simply by purchasing software upgrades. Exalt is the only company that delivers this level of flexibility across all frequencies and in all configurations."
