EMC GSM Backhaul
Optimization Platform

EMC GSM Backhaul Optimization Platform is a unique solution that enables cellular networks
to significantly reduce their OPEX.

2G, 2.5G and 3rd Generation GSM networks Main Features

interconnected through satellite links can
now benefit from EMC GSM Backhaul
Optimization Platform. This innovative
solution reduces the two main cost
elements of satellite circuits: Satellite
Bandwidth (BW) and GSM Signaling. This is
achieved through the combination of NRS
(Noise Reduction System), a bandwidth
optimizer developed by NRS Technologies
Inc. -an EMC subsidiary for the research and
development of new technologies for the
telecommunications industry- and EMC
partners’ GSM Backhaul Product Suite for
the compression of voice traffic and
signaling data and the optimization of
transmission.
• Supports GSM and CDMA networks
• Interconnection to GSM and PSTN
backbones in Europe and the US
• No overbooking, 100% dedicated
• Scalable system
• Available to GSM operators of any size
• Quick deployment of new network or
new regional coverage
• Available with full redundancy
• Supports Point-to-Point and
Point-to-Multipoint network topologies

Satellite backhaul cost reduction: a key
benefit
The satellite bandwidth optimization is
based on the combination of NRS and EMC
partners’ GSM Backhaul Product Suite.
The NRS (Noise Reduction System) allows a
more efficient use of satellite MHz
bandwidth by providing a single frequency
to deliver both the transmission and
reception signals. It currently cancels up to
25MHz. and in most of the deployed
networks only needs to be installed at the
hub site.

BTS (Base Transceiver Stations) and
eliminates idle channels and idle frames.
Signaling data suppression can be applied
to either terrestrial or satellite connections.
In addition, voice compression can
seamlessly provide additional OPEX savings
by means of a trunking gateway in the links
between both MSC (Mobile Switching
Center) and BSCs, as well as MSC to MSC or
to PSTN.
Used in Tandem, the NRS and EMC partners’
GSM Backhaul Product Suite for
compressed voice and satellite bandwidth
optimization help GSM operators
dramatically reduce their OPEX while their
CAPEX (Capital Expenditures) is negligible
with respect to the deployed infrastructure.
