Mobile operators need more than just big pipes for backhaul. Whether the mobile network operator (MNO) is building its own backhaul network or contracting for wholesale backhaul services, it must maintain the appropriate quality of service to ensure reliable voice calls and handoff between cells as bandwidth demand swells with emerging video and multimedia applications. The MNO must be able to validate connections, shape traffic and prioritize sessions. In this session, we will discuss how MNOs are enabling faster, more reliable connections through performance validation and circuit management.
