OFS, a leading designer, manufacturer and supplier of innovative fiber optic network products, today announced that it is introducing the FOX™ Mobile Backhaul Solution for connecting cell sites to optical fiber networks.

The FOX Mobile Backhaul Solution is a compact, secure, and easy to install passive optical system that is superb for service providers that are upgrading their bandwidth starved cell sites to the fiber-enabled bandwidths required for supporting 4G, LTE, and WiMax applications.

"Mobile service providers are seeing an order of magnitude increase in data consumption among smart-phone users, and this is straining the existing copper infrastructure in our customers' wireless networks," said Timothy Pillow, Senior Vice President Global Marketing and Sales for OFS.  "The FOX Mobile Backhaul Solution for connecting cell sites offers carriers quick access to 10 to 100 times more bandwidth, which can ease network congestion and allow capacity for revenue generating applications for their customers."
