Drivers for capacity growth

Proprietary and Confidential
• Historically – ISP networks were built with a Fiber optic core complemented by unlicensed frequency connections
(e.g. 5.3,5.4,5.8Ghz)
• Today – Many of the unlicensed bands are becoming congested and operationally challenging:
• Offering limited throughput with unpredictable performance, particularly in urban areas
• A technology evolution is required to deliver future proof connectivity that is:
• Cost effective
• Fast to deploy
• Capable of supporting Superfast gigabit speeds
• Offers Carrier Class availability
• Wireless technology should (and will) be a part of this evolution
• Todays tool box of wireless technologies:

Our Toolbox to Cope with Capacity & Spectrum Challenges
E-Band
Proprietary and Confidential
• Allows for implementation of multiple carriers in a single Outdoor Unit
• Allows for deployment of complex algorithms like MIMO, AFR, SD
• Reduce power consumption by 40-50%
• Capability to activate/deactivate carriers remotely via SW
• Offers more capacity with better system gain

• XPIC – cross polarization interference cancelation
• Higher Orders of Modulation (i.e. 1K, 2K, 4K QAM)
• 4x4 LoS MIMO – Line of Sight Multiple Input Multiple Output
• Header De-Duplication
Capacity boosting techniquesSolving the capacity challenge
AVAILABLE TODAY
Proprietary and Confidential
• Header-deduplication works by reducing redundant packets in many protocol layers
• Helps increase capacity by 20-30%
• Does not impact radio signal quality or system gain
• Does not affect network latency
• May translate into smaller antenna size (CAPEX/OPEX savings)

• Using antenna separation to achieve uncorrelated receiver streams
• Transmitting and receiving utilizing
the same frequency channel
Benefits
• Quadruple the capacity
• Compared to 1+0 SISO link
• System gain improvement
• Smaller Antennas
• Longer Links
• Spectrum decongestion
