  3. GANDALF Overview • Access network scenario: • Co-existence and interoperability between wireline and wireless • access technologies • Upgradeability, multi-band/multi-service capabilities and cost effectiveness • Proposes a novel optical feeder concept that allows co-existence of wireless and wireline access networks using a shared fibre-based infrastructure. • + high-bandwidth capabilities (GHz/Gbps range) • + cost-reduction (required O/E bandwidth, highly integrated BS approach) • Requires identification of data formats/access techniques suitable for simultaneous transmission via wireline and wireless access networks. • Laboratory and small field trial demostrating simultaneous and interoperable wireless and wireline transmissions. GANDALF project

  5. GANDALF Overview Project key issues • Highly flexible approach (simultaneous operation at BB/IF and mm-wave bands) • Reduced hardware requirements reduced cost and complexity at both BS & CS • Operational up to 60 GHz using state-of the art components • No dispersion induced RF fading • The proposed architecture is fully compliant with DWDM schemes Added value • Simultaneous service provision in two frequency bands: BB/IF and mm-wave (e.g. CEPT DVB-S @10 GHz and LMDS @40 GHz compliance) • Reduced implementation and maintenance cost • Case study: a CATV operator can provide service through a HFC (wireline) network and an LMDS network (wireless) using the same infrastructure • Simultaneous wireless+wireline access results in Ubiquitous BA
