Project Description

Cisco Ultra-Reliable Wireless Backhaul (Cisco URWB) delivers fiber-like wireless connectivity for moving assets or to extend your network where running fiber isn’t feasible or is too costly. It provides high-bandwidth, high-availability, ultra-low latency, zero packet loss with seamless handoffs; making it ideal to connect the most demanding applications that need uninterrupted wireless connectivity. Cisco URWB is also scalable, easy to install and uses unlicensed spectrum.

In networking, backhaul refers to the connection between the core network (typically the central hub or data center) and the smaller networks, such as those in remote locations, branch offices, or access points. The reliability of the backhaul is crucial for ensuring seamless communication and performance across the entire network. Here are some reasons why ultra-reliable wireless backhaul could be important:

  1. Resilience and Redundancy: Ultra-reliable backhaul solutions are designed to provide high levels of resilience and redundancy. This means that even in the face of failures or disruptions, the network can quickly and seamlessly switch to alternative paths, minimizing downtime and maintaining connectivity.
  2. High Availability: For critical applications and services, maintaining high availability is essential. Ultra-reliable backhaul solutions aim to ensure that the network remains operational and accessible even in challenging conditions, contributing to a consistently high level of service availability.
  3. Performance: Reliable backhaul is essential for maintaining optimal performance across the network. This is particularly important in scenarios where large amounts of data need to be transferred quickly and without delays, such as in video streaming, real-time communications, or other bandwidth-intensive applications.
  4. Scalability: As networks grow and evolve, having a scalable and reliable backhaul infrastructure becomes increasingly important. Ultra-reliable solutions should be able to scale to accommodate the growing demands of the network without sacrificing performance or reliability.
  5. Wireless Connectivity: If the term specifically refers to wireless backhaul, this can be particularly important in scenarios where laying physical cables is challenging or impractical. Wireless backhaul solutions can offer flexibility and cost-effectiveness in such situations.
