EU DEFINITION –NEXT GENERATION ACCESS

2

The term next generation access (NGA) is commonly

used to describe the requirement of fibre coming closer

to the end-user, or providing the direct connection. As a

result, the copper or cable wire is to a larger extent or

fully replaced with fibre-optic technology. Wireless

technologies can also be considered as

NGAs. Indeed, wireless can provide a vital

option to extend and improve broadband

coverage.

SPECTRAL EFFICIENCY EVOLUTION


THE FUTURE: MU-MIMO

“MuMIMO is a method of increasing Bandwidth Efficiency”

Data is sent simultaneously

to A, B, C and D in the same

bandwidth.

It uses all the antennas 1, 2,

3 and 4, to send A data to A

but not to B, C and D.

Promise of increasing

spectral efficiency of the AP

by increasing the number of

antennas. AP

HIGH PERFORMANCE GPS SYNC SOLUTION

UK CASE STUDY:QUICKLINE COMMUNICATIONS LIMITED• Established 2007

• B2B Core Business

• Expansion through Organic Growth and Acquisition

• Wholesale model since 2009

• Direct residential since 2011

• Coverage of Northern Lincolnshire, East Yorkshire, and large parts of Lincolnshire, North Yorks, South Yorks and Nottinghamshire.

• June 2014 awarded the largest of the technology pilots by DCMS


QUICKLINE COMMUNICATIONS LIMITED

Feasibility testing was performed against the following criteria

• Chosen technology must be capable of NGA speeds (>30Mbs)

• Chosen technology must be able to maintain these criteria even in relatively high destiny deployments (Individual modulation)

• Chosen technology must be spectrally efficient to allow for expansion, possibility of 5GHz backhaul and UK compliance (GPS Sync / 20MHz band)

• Chosen technology must be discrete with a small physical footprint (Listed buildings etc.)

• Chosen technology must not be cost prohibitive for domestic roll out

Cambium’s PMP 450 was the best fit for our criteria



Further testing during deployment (in conjunction with University of Hull)

• Limits of the technology in LoS, nLoS and NLoS

• Limits of the technology in attenuating and non-attenuating geo types

• Limits of the technologies in different deployment densities

• Comparisons with other technologies (including emerging technologies)



Pilot Outcomes

• To what % can wireless technologies deliver superfast services in Phase 3

• To what % can wireless technologies deliver basic services in Phase 3 and of what quality

• What is the true cost of delivering into the final percentile

• Hopefully a blue print to deliver true superfast services to as many people as possible in that last 5%

Superfast Internet Anywhere
