Hitachi access solutions offer unique benefits in mobile backhaul applications. Applying PON architectures to backhaul saves significant fiber resources. The cost to install fiber is minimized. If the fiber exists; then the ability to devote it to other uses increases revenue opportunities. Hitachi equipment is used in the largest EPON-based mobile backhaul operated by an MSO in North America. We understand protection and restoration. We know how to support multiple cellular providers on one tower and we understand the migration paths from circuit-based to packet-based services. No two backhaul networks are alike and our wide selection of access equipment gives us the ability to support any configuration.
