Ten Minutes at 5GHz Radiocommunications Agency Conference on 5GHz June 2 2000 Jonathan Burg UK Telecom Solutions
Agenda • Market Drivers • Capability • Regulation • Opportunities • Challenge
Increased Local Loop Competition Pluralistic Adoption BRAN, 3G, Bluetooth, Optical, cheap Unbundled Loops Broadcast Technology Squeezing Hard MMDS/LMDS, Satellite, Digital TV First Mover Services Key to Revenue ON, HomeChoice beats xDSL“pure” IP VoDSL/IP Coming EU regs could restructure the market if market doesn’t get there first Market Drivers
Capability • Enables broadband indoor or outdoor >1km • fills DSL’s 20% gap • Supplement local loop / extend 3G • Moves Internet-in from kerb/street/air • Extends Mobile Network • Extend Corporate LANs ‘out’ to campus • SME/SoHO, tele-workers want IP VPNs • The model is not “move home network out”.
Business Users need Compatibility Governments want Universal Access Service Providers want Universal Reach Home Users want flexible access We all want cheap ubiquitous broadband internet, right? Stimulate Competition Drive Adoption Minimise Homologation 5.15 Band critical for users Operators deliver quality services & drive new investment Promote public policy Regulation (1)
QoS is SP/Operator Issue - low QoS might be OK for Universal IP Access Spectrum Strategy is Regulatory Issue Go for Global: 5.15-5.25 should allow flexible path (H1/ H2) Set precedents carefully: Europe needs cheap WLL/IP Regulation (2)
<<18 months before DSL hits volume 5GHz Available Now Networks Deploy Fast e.g. Metricom Lower Entry Barriers Is HIPERLAN doomed as an Alternative Technology? Management Challenges for Operators QoS, Provisioning, OSS Challenge
