Ofcom has published a five-year plan for fixed wireless adoption in the UK. Essentially the UK regulator has come round to the idea that it’s necessary to treat all those little bits and bobs of spectrum, used mostly for fixed point to point applications, as a valuable resource to be managed to do the most good, rather than be viewed as almost marginal, niche cases which have to be carefully controlled. In addition it looks to high frequency public spectrum as being a critical part of the next generation, 5G-led wireless ecosystem too.

Small Cell Backhaul

By far the star of this section of the show was CCS latest product, a 60GHz mesh backhaul system. Building on the system design of their existing 30GHz mesh backhaul which we reported in action in the City of London, it uses chunks of 2GHz bandwidth within the 14GHz available in that unlicensed segment. With a 300 degree field of view, four separate transceivers each capable of 3 to 4 Gbps, each node can handle some 12 Gbps. CCS cleverly select which frequency to use – the lower half of the spectrum gets absorbed by water which helps restrict range and supports more frequent reuse while the upper half achieves longer range. Hundreds of metres are quite feasible which is perfectly adequate in the dense urban environments it is designed for.

CCS Lights Up New Year's Eve at Coca-Cola London Eye

Published on January 5th 2018 in News

CCS’ Metnet 28 GHz self-organising microwave backhaul helped to deliver a stunning New Year celebration display at the Coca-Cola London Eye on New Year’s Eve. Leveraging the Metnet system already powering its high-speed WiFi services on the wheel, Merlin Entertainments was able to – for the first time – directly stream live control to the lights, enabling perfect timing synchronisation of lights, music and fireworks. Previously, a program would have to be uploaded earlier in the day with the hope that the program would trigger at the correct points in the show. This would often result in the lights being a few seconds out of sync. With Metnet, the result was truly spectacular – with none of the noticeable delays or timing lags usually seen at large event displays. Enjoy the amazing River Thames show here:
