Backhaul Research Note: FIPS Certified Backhaul Equipment

Customer privacy has always been a concern for telecom service providers. However, the popularization of packet-based network technologies has forced operators to pay attention to security, as anyone can gain access to equipment that could illegally intercept communications. Although security requirements can be analyzed at each of the components of a communications network (base station, end-user terminal, core network…), as part of the backhaul service this research note focuses on transmission networks between the RAN (Radio Access Network) and the core network
