Introduction to Gigabit Wireless Solutions

Maximizing Network Performance whilst Lowering OPEX

October 2010

Steve Horner International Technical Director

20th and 21st October 2010

2

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


6

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


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

Remote 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

Installation £2,000 £0

Three Year Warranty £2,499 £0

Total £11,499 £63,000

Throughput 100 Mbps 6 Mbps


8

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


9

Five year lease/contract

Total cost over 5 years is £120,000 per line.

Hospital

Clinic

Data Center

Example 2 –GigE Fibre

80 GHz GE Wireless Leased GigE

Telco Service fee £0 £120,000 x 2

Leased Line Provision £0 £0

GE80X £20,000 x 2 £0

Installation £3,000 £0

Licensing £50 x 2 £0

Five Year Warranty £8,000 x 2 £0

Total £59,100 £240,000

Throughput 1000 Mbps 1000 Mbps

60 GHz & 80 GHz Technology


18

Frequency Allocations

60 GHz & 80 GHz bands provide multi-gigahertz allocations

Much more bandwidth compared to lower licensed frequency bands, i.e. 6 – 38 GHz

Ideal for multi-gigabit transmissions

Single RF channels

Simple, robust modulation methods


19

Characteristics of millimeter wave GigE transmission solutions

Line of sight, point-to-point links

Short distances:

60 GHz typical distance under one mile

80 GHz distances up to 5 miles

Rain affects link distances and budgets, not snow, fog, or dust

With proper link planning, five-nines availability can be achieved

High capacity GigE+ connections

GigE or multiple SONET + GigE transmissions

Very narrow “pencil-beam” antennas

Highly secure links

Interference-Free

Small, all-outdoor form factor

Antennas

Very narrow beamwidth

Security:

Low probability of detection

Low probability of intercept

Interference Immunity

Co-locate multiple terminals
