Mobile Backhaul for Las Vegas and Reno

The 3G and 4G Backhaul Bottleneck

Existing T1-based backhaul is insufficient to handle the demands of today's 3G and 4G bandwidth needs. But bringing in fiber can be expensive, and newer technologies require IP-based, Ethernet backhaul.

1Velocity: Gigabit Ethernet Backhaul over Microwave and Millimeter-wave

Millimeter Wave Backhaul RingUsing the latest licensed (71-95 GHz) millimeter wave wireless fiber technology, 1Velocity has built its own self-healing Gigabit Ethernet backhaul ring in Las Vegas (and now Reno) that is used by governments, corporations, and other carriers as a primary provider for Ethernet transport and Internet access.
 
Unlike other carriers, 1Velocity has its own proprietary backhaul that is totally physically diverse from the ILEC and MSO. 1Velocity provides true diversity from other carriers and can serve locations other carriers can't. While bringing in fiber can take months and cost tens of thousands of dollars, 1Velocity delivers up to 1 Gbps in less than 45 days.

Public Safety, Transportation, Gaming, and Telecom

For the last three years, 1Velocity has provided Ethernet private lines and Internet access to businesses, governments, and carriers in Las Vegas (and now Reno). 1Velocity also provided 100 Mbps Ethernet backhaul for a 4G demo at CTIA 2008. Last quarter, over half of new revenues came from existing customers upgrading service or purchasing additional connections.

"Las Vegas Dissemination Company is a regulated entity that serves the Pari-mutuel sports books for casinos and OTB’s across the country and in many different countries. We've had one too many experiences where our primary and our backup Internet connections were both down at the same time.

What has surprised us is it that 1Velocity's wireless fiber has been more reliable than our ground fiber carrier. 1Velocity has performed very well, and I would highly recommend them."

Fast, Flexible, and Secure

TDM vs. Ethernet (ComputerWorld, 2003)
 
1Velocity's backhaul network was built without the constriction of legacy technologies. 
  • Layer 1 Ethernet hand-off: setup your own VLANs and QoS. 
  • Available as (ELAN) Ethernet Transparent LAN Service (TLS) and Ethernet Virtual Private Line Service (Ethernet VPLS).
  • Latency: Less than 1 ms across town
  • Scalable: 8 Mbps to 1 Gbps in 1 Mbps increments
  • Get the Bandwidth You Paid For: No oversubscription on the backhaul; no port-blocking; no packet-shaping.
  • Standard installation in under 45 days. Expedited in as little as two weeks.
  • Installed today on rooftops (non-penetrating), monopoles, towers, and lightpoles
