CelCast™

CelCast™CelCast is a cellular traffic backhaul solution that enables mobile operators to expand their coverage quickly and effectively. It enables the operator to explore new sources of revenue (e.g. offshore basestations).

Mobile operators have traditionally incorporated dedicated satellite links. With the introduction of broadband satellite systems and IP cellular infrastructure, this proposition of backhauling voice traffic over VSAT improved drammatically. It is now easy to expand the edge of your network more cost effectively and the benefits keep growing the more sites you add!

Cellsite Interface Infrastructure Bandwidth
TYPE 1 A-bis Nano/ Pico/ Micro BTS New cellsites 128kbps – 4096kbps
TYPE 2 A-bis Micro BTS Hubless BTS-BSC links 128kbps – 4096kbps
TYPE 3 A-bis a) Macro BTS rural
b) Macro BTS urban		 1–4 E1
2-10 E1
Lower Bandwidth means lower costs
For BTS-to-BSC transport, save more than 50% on transponder space using a satellite A-bis interface. This middleware uses header compression and silence suppression to effectively reduce the amount of bandwidth used in the transport of voice traffic.
Bandwidth on demand improves peak-hour performance
For multiple basestation sites, it is possible to share the space segment. For peak periods, one basestation can borrow the bandwidth required from another one. This improves the network efficiency through higher traffic channel utilisation.
CelCast Coverage
Flexibility for temporary coverage
With our range of transportable and vehicle mounted antennas, mobile operators win the freedom to overlay temporary cells onto their network. Particularly deployed at major events and emergency response situations, this extra capability quickly becomes an essential strategic tool.
Reliability guaranteed
Employing SpeedCast's expertise in comprehensive communications technologies will enable you to optimise your network efficiency, reliability and security. Our 24 X 7 operations centre and customer support services underpin our quality promise.
CelCast Network Overview
The purpose of our CelCast solution is to minimize the space segment and, thereby, improve the business case for network expansion. The voice traffic is treated for satellite transmission by an A-bis interface in order to maximise the efficiency of the link. Furthermore, monitoring of the link is carried out non-intrusively so, with the overall treatment, it is even possible to run multiple services through a single satellite link.
