The Role of E-band and V-band Backhaul Technologies in HetNets

Webinar, April 30, 2013

Gerardo Chavez,

Regional Sales Director Caribbean and Latin America

Evolving to a Macrocell, Microcell Layered Access Network

• Due to the exploding growth in data mobile the mobile network

architecture is evolving from a single layer access network to a multiple

layer access network

o The macrocells provide the capacity and coverage

o The small cells provide the high capacity hotspots

Millimeter Waves for Macrocell and Microcell Backhaul

• The 70/80 GHz E-band is optimized for last mile, zero-footprint macrocell backhaul

• The 57-66 GHz band is optimized for microcell backhaul

• Capacity

o Optimized for high capacity, short range backhaul links

o Large allocated spectrum and channels allows Gigabit-per-second (and above)

solutions

• Relieve the spectrum bottleneck

o “Virgin” spectrum relieves the spectrum availability bottleneck of exhausted

“traditional” spectrum particularly in urban deployments

• Size

o All-outdoor, zero-footprint, low power consuming solutions

• Cost

o Low cost solutions are achievable

Zero-Footprint Macrocells Backhaul Requirements

5

Form factor “Low profile”, all-outdoor, zero-footprint

Installation Plug and Play - quick and easy, wall or pole mount

Minimal cabling

Capacity Scalable to high capacity – supporting today's capacity and

scalable to provide the required capacity for the future microcells

underlay

3G / 4G ready - packet based

Topologies P-t-P, ring, mesh to provide resiliency and flexibly deployment

Power consumption Low power consumption

Frequency planning &

acquisition

Easy and fast for quick deployment and

site changes

Cost Low cost

E-band - Introduction

• 10GHz of spectrum: 71-76GHz and 81-86GHz

• Requires Line of Sight

• Large spectrum Gigabit throughputs

• Uncongested

• Pencil-beams (beam-width < 1˚): o Good spectral reuse and minimum interference from neighboring links o Secure (hard to detect and intercept)

• Lightly licensed

o Protection against interference o Quick and simple registration o Inexpensive

E-band: <1

5.8GHz: >10

70/80 GHz Optimized for Last Mile, Zero-Footprint Macrocell Backhaul • Spectrum characteristics allow all-silicon integrated design

o Very Low Cost All-Outdoor Products

o Small, all-outdoor, zero-footprint form factor

o Small, high-gain antennas

o Low power consumption utilizing standard PoE

o Effective range of up to 3 km with high

availability (depending on rain zone)

• Additional advantages

o Relives the “traditional” spectrum availability bottleneck

o High Capacity, scalable Gigabit-per-second (and above) solutions

o Simple, quick and cheaper frequency planning and acquisition

o “Pencil beams” – reduced risk of interference and high spectrum reuse

Small Cell Backhaul Requirements

8

Form factor “Invisible” - all-outdoor, zero-footprint

Installation Flexible deployment in street-level level

environment and furniture

Seamless installation with the small cell

Zero cabling – small cell integrated (optional)

Capacity Scalable to high capacity – allows daisy-chain of the

microcells

4G ready - packet based

Topologies P-t-P, ring, mesh to provide resiliency and flexibly

deployment

Power consumption Very low power consumption

Frequency planning & acquisition Easy and fast for quick deployment and

site changes

Cost Very low cost

Enabling Small Cell Deployment with V-band (60 GHz) Backhaul

• 57-66 GHz, millimeter-wave technology enables small cells wireless

backhaul solutions which are:

o “Invisible” in sized and weight

o Plug & play; easy and quick installation and

commissioning … yet flexible and scalable for

different types of use cases and scenarios today,

tomorrow and the future

o Low power consumption (PoE)

o Ultra low cost

E-band and V-band for the Small Cell Backhaul

• E-band:

o Last mile macro-cell backhaul

o Small cell aggregation to macro-cell offload

• V-band - Wide and healthy small cell “backbone” complemented

• Simple installation and

commissioning procedures are

key to large scale deployments

of small cell backhaul QUICKLY

and on BUDGET

To Conclude …

• Mobile networks are evolving to a multi-layered access network to cope with the exploding

demand for data-intensive services

• The backhaul is one of the key challenges to overcome to enable the evolution to multi-

layered access mobile networks

• Millimeter-wave backhaul will play an important role in answering the backhaul challenge

o The 71-76 / 81-86 GHz E-band is optimized for last mile, zero-footprint macrocell

backhaul

o The 57-64 GHz spectrum is optimized for microcell backhaul

• Millimeter-wave backhaul solutions provide dominant advantages in:

o Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)

o Scalability

o Form-factor and size

o Environmentally friendliness
