CCS to Deploy 60 GHz mm-Wave Technology for Gigabit Fixed Wireless Access in Europe

The European Conference of Postal and Telecommunications Administrations Electronic Communications Committee (CEPT ECC), has opened up the 60 GHz mmWave unlicensed band for Gigabit Fixed Wireless Access in Europe to pave the way for ubiquitous deployment of unlicensed 60 GHz technology. Based on the announcement, Cambridge Communication Systems (CCS) a developer of backhaul solutions for the 60 GHz band has introduced its EU approved Metnet 60G 12Gbps 60GHz mmWave backhaul and access system. CCS’s Metnet 60G solution adheres to the relevant harmonised standards under 2014/53/EU on RED (Radio Equipment Directive). This, together with the existing FCC radio type approval, enables Metnet 60G to be deployed across multiple countries where the use of unlicensed 60GHz is allowed.

Ofcom opens up fixed wireless so that ‘anyone can build a network’

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.

Why towercos are getting active with neutral host

With the rapid growth of mobile operator networks and the emergence of network sharing as a cost-effective expansion strategy, the independent macro tower market has boomed. Owner-operator tower companies worldwide today manage substantial portfolios of passive “steel and grass” infrastructure assets ripe for monetisation. Now, as small-cell deployments begin to gather pace – and with site acquisition still one of the biggest challenges – tower companies are beginning to capitalize by supplying the active infrastructure to support next-generation service delivery.

The Future of mmWave Wireless Backhaul

The mobile market is evolving toward 5G, and while 5G might be considered more of a marketing term and a technology at the moment, its impact is felt today. - Applied Wireless Technology magazine

State of the art equipment will provide gigabit speeds and see users able to enjoy high bandwidth services like video on demand over free City Wi-Fi for the first time. The service will surpass that found in the world’s other major international financial centre – New York.

New case study: Rapid small cell deployment in the urban jungle
