Inter Venezuela, the country’s largest private Internet provider, has launched a new national mobile backhaul infrastructure based on XGS-PON technology with support from fiber player Harmonic, as part of an initiative aimed at preparing for the future densification of 5G networks and expanding mobile transport capacity in Venezuela.
The company will use Harmonic’s cOS virtualized platform alongside its portfolio of optical solutions to deliver carrier-grade backhaul services over fiber, gradually replacing traditional dedicated cellular links with a more flexible, scalable, and efficient architecture.
The deployment will enable Inter Venezuela to provide mobile transport connectivity over XGS-PON networks at both radio sites and aggregation nodes, addressing the growth in data traffic and future needs associated with 5G.
"The new XGS-PON mobile backhaul service marks an important step forward supporting the evolution of mobile networks in Venezuela," said Marco Baptista, CEO of Inter Venezuela.
"With Harmonic's fiber solution, we can efficiently scale our infrastructure and provide mobile network operators with a flexible backhaul option. This will help them reduce congestion and deliver faster speeds to subscribers with growing data demands."
