Challenges facing networks today
Increasing demand for higher performance connections to support new business applications
Disparity of workforce & relocating employees to facilities off the LAN
Distributed servers straining IT resources and budgets
Using unlicensed solutions yielding concerns about network security and interference

Backhaul bottlenecks in 2G/3G networks
Generate differentiated service revenues
Aging backbone doesn’t provide adequate bandwidth
Delays in provisioning new services means delays in revenues
Lowering costs to maintain competitive edge
Enterprise Service Providers
Works today….what about tomorrow?

Campus Connectivity High-speed backbone for education & research Campus Wi-Fi/WiMAX backhaul
Growth of Mobile Infrastructure
Mobile traffic will double every year through 2014, increasing 39x between 2009 – 2014 (CAGR of 108%)
Almost 66% of mobile traffic will be video by 2014
Backhaul is the bottleneck
GigE links “future-proof” solution for aggregating traffic

Fibre vs. Wireless GigE
Fibre• Established, reliable choice• High Capacity data rates• Secure, point-to-point link
Implementation• Construction costs, right-of-way, securing
permits• Weeks-to-months to implement• Expensive recurring monthly lease charges
Vulnerable• Construction Crew Severs Secret ‘Black
Line’*“A construction crew working on an office building in Virginia in severed a fibre optic cable that wasn’t on anyone’s map. Apparently it was a ‘black line’ used for carrying secret intelligence data…”

Why consider GigE wireless?
Cost for high-speed leased lines are expensive Up to and beyond £3,000/month (GigE)
Time to install wireless is much shorter Need connection in <30 days but leased-line installation
can be 3-6 months out
Want alternative technology for primary and/or backup link Safeguards in case service provider has a fibre cut
Want control of their network In terms of cost and maintenance

GigE Wireless: fibre-like performance without the cost and delays of implementing fibre
Example 1 – Off LAN Connections
Opening up remote office ½ mile away
Minimum of 6 Mbps needed to support network services
© BridgeWave Communications www.bridgewave.com | 1-866-577-6908 7
Lease (3) E1 lines at £500 each per month
Startup cost of £3,000
1st year cost to provide 6Mbps = £21,000
½ mile
Main Office

Example 1 – (3) E1’s
60 GHz FE Wireless Leased 3xE1
Telco Service fee 0 £54,000
Leased Line Provision 0 £9,000
60 GHz Radios £7,000 £0

16x speed increase and £51,500 savings over 3 years!!
Upgrade the link to GigE for £7.5K – 167x speed increase and still save £44K
Example 2 – Hospital and Outpatient Clinic Both 4 to 5Km from Data Centre
Currently have E1 connections from Hospital and clinic to Data Centre
Now GigE service is required for connection to both hospital and clinic
Monthly 1Gbps fibre cost (at least) £2,000 per line
