Hatteras Networks has announced that its HN6100 Multi-Service Delivery Platform and HN600 Series with PWE3-Plus have earned the 2010 Wireless Backhaul Distinction Award. Technology Marketing Corporation (TMC), a global, integrated media company, in conjunction with Crossfire Media, presented the awards via its 4GWE website. The announcement marks the latest addition to Hatteras’ series of industry award wins and honors.

“Hatteras Networks deserves the acknowledgment for their achievements in advancing 4G and providing solutions in the marketplace. The HN6100 and HN600 Series with PWE3-Plus have proven that its customers experienced success from utilizing these wireless backhaul technologies,” said Carl Ford, co-founder and community developer, Crossfire Media.

The limited population of fiber- and microwave-enabled cell towers is a primary gating factor in the delivery of high-speed broadband services, with a majority of wireless communications towers relying solely on copper connections. Hatteras Networks’ integrated mobile backhaul solutions bridge the fiber and microwave gap by offering efficient, reliable high-speed transport across existing copper infrastructures at mobile communications towers and exchange centers. With patented capabilities for simultaneous transport of native Time Division Multiplexing and native Ethernet traffic over copper infrastructure with embedded synchronization timing, the HN6100 and HN600 Series deliver greater than 10 times the bandwidth at one-tenth the cost of legacy technologies, allowing immediate rollout of next-generation mobile broadband services by mobile wireless service providers worldwide.

“With continued surging growth in smartphone use, operators are facing extreme demands for greater, more reliable broadband access, even as cell tower capacities are being stretched to the limit. Mobile backhaul is a simple, elegant answer to the complexities of the voice and data overload challenge,” said M. Vijay Raman, Vice President of Product Line Management and Marketing, Hatteras Networks. “Hatteras Networks is very pleased that our HN6100 and HN600 Series with PWE3-Plus have been recognized as the industry’s best high-performance, carrier-grade mobile backhaul platforms.”
