The two equipment vendors will integrate Carrier Access’ FLEXengine compression technology with Tellabs’ 5500 digital crossconnect to create a solution that increases bandwidth efficiency by compressing GSM/EDGE Abis and UMTS I traffic between cell sites and switching offices.

The two vendors hope the combination helps wireless carriers efficiently add 2.5G and 3G wireless data to their networks.
