  1. BACKHAUL ELASTICITY FOR UNLIMITED DEMAND IN A HETNET WORLD Globecomm Tech Forum 2012 Mobile Track Shayan SANYAL Chief Commercial Officer – ssanyal@bluwan.com

  2. ABOUT BLUWAN We are a network equipment provider that is revolutionising the way convergent operators delight their customers through the delivery of future proof mobile backhaul capacity • d • Offices in Paris & London • € 30 million 2nd round in 2011 • Backhaul product released 2012 • 8 2012 trials & deployments in EMEA

  3. NETWORKS ARE CONVERGING Security Datacentre Connected Vehicle Smart Devices SmartGrid Appliances Mobile Wallets Digital Signage Tele-Medicine Self- Health

  4. CHALLENGE EVERYTHING • 2G to 3G was fairly painless • HSPA pushes limits • Customer experience becomes an issue • Rollout 4G LTE • In-fill with Wifioffload+Small Cells Small cell per macro forecast, 2013-15 So… Densification is a table-stake And the industry is prepared Or is it ? Source: Heavy Reading 2012 small cell survey

  5. HOW FAR CAN WE STRETCH ? • How does VoLTE change the game? • How will on demand video affect customer experience? • How does mobile cloud computing affect device + network dependency? 40% of advance mobile broadband users will churn in the next 12 months The Quality of Experience will be the key differentiator for converged operators

  6. COVERAGE, CAPACITY, COST: “THE 3Cs” • Elastic Backhaul Coverage: • Be able to cover a wide area with a single radio unit to prevent overcrowding • Be able to extend the range of your backhaul coverage easily through relay nodes

  7. COVERAGE, CAPACITY, COST: “THE 3Cs” • Elastic Capacity: • Supply more capacity than demand • Be able to scale capacity as demand grows • Look at providing at least 10x more capacity than existing wireless backhaul solutions

  8. COVERAGE, CAPACITY, COST: “THE 3Cs” • Elastic Cost: • Pay as you grow business models will be required • Be not only capex but opexefficient • Minimise installation, site rental and operational costs with compact units that can generate area coverage

  9. EXISTING BACKHAUL OPTIONS • PtP Evolved e-Band 60-90 GHz bands • Block spectrum allocations to deliver increased link capacity • Still have the same PtP Opex concerns as existing PtP MW • 1st Generation PMP, fast time to market in 10.50/26/28GHz • Filled the short term gap in 2G/3G deployments to max revenues • Now not enough capacity for 4G • 2nd Generation PMP technology 42GHz offers 1GHz radio • Scalable 2Gbit sector capacity with 100-400Mbit Terminal capacity • Delivering PtP capacity within PMP architecture • The ideal backhaul solution • Penetration limited to 20-50%, typically urban coverage with issues over trenching and slow deployment • This directly impacts on operator revenues and time to market • Ideally suited for low-medium capacity • Delivers required capacity (>100Mbits guaranteed) to sites at a good Capex • 70-80% network coverage driving a large Yearly Opex Fibre PtP Microwave PtP mm Wave PmP Microwave PmP mm Wave

  10. 1st GENERATION PMP OVERVIEW • 1 x 28MHz Sector • 145Mbits at 256QAM (up to 1.2km) • 118Mbits at 64QAM (up to 1.4km) • 40Mbits at QPSK (up to 2.7km) • Terminal Limited to 150Mbits Capacity • 2 x 28MHz Sector • 290Mbits at 256QAM (up to 1.2km) • 236Mbits at 64QAM (up to 1.4km) • 80Mbits at QPSK (up to 2.7km) • Terminal Limited to 150Mbits Capacity

  11. 2nd GEN mmW PMP OVERVIEW • 10 x 40MHz Sector • 1,150Mbit at 64QAM (up to 900m) • 750Mbits at 16QAM (up to 1.65km) • 400Mbits at QPSK (up to 2.8km) • Terminal Capacity 100/200/400Mbits • 20 x 40MHz Sector • 2,300Mbit at 64QAM (up to 600m) • 1,500Mbits at 16QAM (up to 1.35km) • 800Mbits at QPSK (up to 2.8km) • Terminal Capacity 100/200/400Mbits

  12. 42GHZ mmW (Q BAND) OPPORTUNITIES • All IP TDD Microwave platform • 3GHz available 42GHz spectrum • 1GHz wide band Multipoint Millimetre Wave radio • 2Gbps Ethernet throughput per 90° sector • 100/200/400*Mbps terminal equipment • Light & compact Transmission Hub radio • Small & light Network Terminating Equipment

  13. CONNECTIVITY TO REMOTE SITES 4 Independent, PoE powered NTEs 1 Sector Transmission Hub Equipped with 4 modems LAN LAN LAN LAN PoE PoE PoE PoE NTE NTE NTE NTE 1 TH Radio Sector Multiplexer Modem Rack Traffic MgtSwitch

  14. LIVE HUB IN THE UK FOR TD-LTE TRIAL • Compact radio with integrated 90° sector antenna • 1.2Gbps sector currently release V1 • 16 x 100Mbps capable models in each sector • Extremely compact: 24 x 16 x 9cm

  15. LIVE NTE CONNECTED TO TD-LTE • Compact all-outdoor configuration: 24 x 16 x 9cm • 3.4 kg installed weight without parabolic antenna • PoCVersion 75/100Mbps Network Terminating Equipment • RJ45 + PoE connection • Providing backhaul to UK’s 1st TD LTE Network

  16. 42GHz mmW CHANNEL AGGREGATION • Wireless Wave Division Multiplexing (WWDM) aggregates up to 20 channels on to a single air interface Mux Front View Mux Rear View

  17. DEALING WITH HOT SPOTS AND LOS • Matching PtP Peak Capacity • PMP within mmW Architecture • All the benefits of PMP technology • Maximising 3GHz of 42GHz 1-2km 99.99% availability 1-2km 99.99% availability

  18. ELASTIC BACKHAUL IN ACTION • Extends coverage and capacity as new hot spots appear • 2 Gbps, 1.5km • 10x capacity of current solutions • Relay (Extender) • Compact, all outdoor, solution for low opex LTE-A eNB – 350 Mbps, total 1.4 Gbps HetNet cell – 50 Mbps, total 500 Mbps We must stop provisioning for the mean, And start stretching ourselves for the peak. Stretch your capacity, coverage and control costs.

  19. ELASTIC BACKHAUL IN ACTION Create a right sized area of massive capacity that can easily be extended to in-fill new, unplanned hotspots. No need to compromise on customer experience at the expense of TCO

  20. OPEX SAVINGS WITH mmWAVE PMP TCO Overview 40 x 200Mbit end points Tier1 PtP Pricing Tier1 PMP Pricing UK Spectrum Fees UK Site Rental/Install rates TCO Outputs 60% reduced Opex to PtP 5 Year Opex saving $600k Exceptional Cost per Mbit Capacity for future network upgrade/requirements

  21. SUMMARY • Predicting demand in network planning is increasingly difficult • Service providers’ backhaul solutions need to stretch across all the sites that will need it, with no compromise in performance, coverage, and total cost of ownership • HetNets are here, and will continue to evolve • A solution is required that can: • easily extend gigabit coverage • allow providers to plan and delivery for peak cost effectively • Seamless integrate with small cells, wifi offload strategies • This will enable converged service providers to cost effectively deliver massive network capacity with no compromise on customer experience
