Why Industry-leading reliability is standard

What level of reliability should you expect from your telecommunications equipment? Performance figures are not typically published for such equipment, but industry experts suggest that typical failure rates are between 4 and 5%, varying by company and product. In 2008 the Aprisa XE registered a failure rate of just 0.76%. This report details more about the Aprisa XE's reliability and how it is acheived.

Meeting the challenge of long-distance mobile backhaul
Author: John Yaldwyn

Engineering mobile backhaul networks in today’s market is a challenge, as the ever-increasing demands for more coverage must be met as free spectrum becomes ever more limited. As operators move to address emerging opportunities for service delivery in low-revenue and often low-subscriber-density markets, implementation costs are under pressure as never before.

Whether it is to meet licence coverage obligations or to expand the subscriber base, many mobile operators need to roll out coverage in remote and often hard-to-reach areas.

Digital radio extension of DSL for rural New Zealand
Author: John Yaldwyn

The rural and remote areas of New Zealand have been blessed with relatively good telephone service as a legacy of the pioneering efforts of the New Zealand Post Office, and later Telecom, in the expansion of the access network by means of radio. Equipment such as single subscriber country set links and multi-access systems, often combined with digital microwave radio connected rural exchanges, have all played a vital part in connecting this country.

Improve radio coverage
Author: John Yaldwyn

A common concern among network operators is extending voice and data connectivity to areas with poor or non-existent communications infrastructure. Two obvious examples are public safety networks located in remote areas and rural subscribers who require telephone and high-speed Internet access. But even in urban areas, adequate coverage may be elusive; there are often critical mobile radio network sites such as hilltops that suffer from poor fixed network access.
