A Highway Operator in France wanted to optimize operational efficiency while providing high reliability to the safety critical, highway cellular network. The choice was made to use Pandatels COP-FE product line to create a single integrated network delivering: Toll quality Voice-E1, Ethernet for users and Network Management, while providing a roadmap for future technology and services.

Key Challenges:
Mobile operators often switches between wireless stations to optimize signal quality. During the switch, traditional TDM over IP equipment would need to re-locate TDM path, creating temporary service interruption.

At the same time, Flexibility and Efficiency are also required, such that the network is simple to manage while integrating local E-1s with local Ethernets, and transport these protocols over an Ethernet Backbone. Toll quality voice with minimal latency, voice Prioritization, and Ethernet with a differentiated Paths and Priorities for Voice and Data Traffic, are a few most critical requirements.
