Building a broadband public safety backhaul microwave network with utmost resiliency for 2020.
Every packet counts. Therefore high resiliency and service availability are key design considerations when deploying a public safety microwave networks. The traditional architecture of ring-and-spoke topology can provide strong protection against failure in the aggregating ring but leaves the radio sites on the spokes vulnerable to upstream failure. Furthermore, multi-failures in the rings also can also cut off connectivity if there is no path diversity, jeopardizing critical communications. This session discusses how a Nokia backhaul network solution, based on IP/MPLS and packet microwave, with a multi-ring topology, can provide utmost resiliency. From fault detection, OAM to rapid network restoration, we will discuss how IP/MPLS riding atop packet microwave can leverage full path diversity to restore connectivity even in multi-failure scenarios, ensuring highest network availability for first responders to get their jobs done safely.

This Month’s Meeting Sponsors:
Mark Your Calendars! May 6th – Wounded Warriors vs. Sacramento All Stars
SAFE Credit Union along with Aerojet and the River Cats host a softball game where local “celebrities” play against the veterans who are amputees and travel around the US to highlight their motto, “Life without Limits”. The game is a lot of fun and the ticket purchased allows you to stay for the River Cats game after against the Reno Aces.
It can be a full day of baseball and fun for the family and great way to show our support for our wounded comrades who are overcoming their challenges!
