Cellular Backhaul Solutions: from 2G to 5G

BusinessCom delivers satellite backhaul that connects remote mobile sites to your core network, carrying voice, signalling and data for 2G, 3G and 4G LTE services. Built on a shared bandwidth pool and a ground segment you control, it lets mobile operators reach areas where fiber and microwave are not an option, and grow capacity as traffic grows.

 

Cellular Backhaul Built for Growth and Control

Mobile operators across Africa, the Middle East, North and Latin America, and Asia-Pacific are extending coverage to remote communities where fiber and microwave are not an option. They need sovereign backhaul that links remote mobile sites to the central core, carries 2G, 3G and 4G LTE traffic, runs on locally available Ku-band VSAT equipment and grows with demand. BusinessCom delivers the platform, satellite capacity, engineering and support as one solution built around Comtech Elevate and a customer-side hub.

Instead of fixed bandwidth per site, remote sites share capacity through TDM outbound and TDMA return carriers, so bandwidth follows real-time demand across the whole network. Existing VSAT equipment can stay in service, because BusinessCom compensates on the satellite side with exclusive, high-power Ku-band capacity and a link budget tuned for guaranteed availability. A star topology fits central-core traffic today, with an optional mesh layer available for the future.
