GTT says that in partnership with WANSAT it has successfully backhauled cellular traffic from the hinterland to Georgetown via an international satellite and fibre connection.
A release from GTT yesterday said that the project is being managed entirely from WANSAT’s Network Operations Centre (NOC) in Georgetown and is the first implementation of its kind for any telecom operator in Guyana.
Cellular backhaul, the release said, is the process of connecting remote cellular base stations (towers) to a mobile operator’s core network, allowing them to transmit voice and data traffic to and from mobile devices.
