Why E-Band and V-Band now?

Access BackboneSmall Cells

Enterprise/ISP

Need for high capacity in Mobile and Enterprise access is hard satisfied in traditional wireless frequencies ( 6-42GHz ) in terms of system cost, size, spectrum availability and licenses cost

The Emergence of Small Cells require lower cost lower visual impact achievable in Sub 6GHz PtmP/PtP/WiFi, 60GHz (V-band) and in 70-80GHz (E-band)

Technological improvements make it feasible to manufacture reliably in high quantities

• Major Benefits:• Large available BW (5GHz FDD)• Low spectrum cost• Low chance for interference (Antenna beam, short distances)

• ETSI regulations• 10dBm at antenna port• Maximum EIRP = 55dBm• Minimum antenna gain = +30dBi

• 50 MHz channels with an option to aggregate to 2.5 GHz• No min spectral efficiency
