Corporate LAN connections in London using CableFree E-band MMW Radios
CableFree 1Gbps E-band MMW radios have been deployed for corporate customers above the busy streets of London as a high speed and cost-effective alternative to Fibre Optic Leased Lines.
CableFree E-Band MMW Link Installed in London in 2018The links carry full-speed LAN traffic for a major customer as an alternative to Fibre Optics.
Major Benefits of Wireless 1Gbps MMW Links
Compared to Leased Lines and Fibre Optics, wireless E-band links offer many benefits including:
Immediate availability: no waiting for digging, trenches or wayleaves
Fast to install: typically 3 hours to complete
One-off cost for asset purchase: No ongoing lease for service
Low-cost “Light License” at only GBP 50 per year (USD 75 in USA) protects “first use” of spectrum
Designed & Proven to be highly reliable in all conditions
Portable Asset: can be moved to other sites when needed
No disruption to link caused by digging or 3rd party maintenance work
Easy to maintain: just one box either end of link, fully manageable
Free Link Design and Consultancy Service
Our team offer a Free Link Design service direct from ourselves – the vendor – to verify reliable operation before purchase and deployment. Based on 22 years experience of Broadband Fixed Wireless equipment design and installation, the experience of our Wireless team is unparalleled.
Available and Shipping
CableFree E-Band MMW Links are available today with up to 10Gbps per radio aggregating to 40Gbps full duplex capacity.
CableFree 10Gbps MMW links have been installed for Safe City applications
Using the latest 10Gbps Millimeter Wave wireless technology, the links connect Safe City customer sites with a full 10Gbps (10Gig-E) full duplex capacity, with no compression or slow-down.
10Gbps MMW Links installed for Safe City Applications
CableFree has pioneered high speed 10 Gigabit Millimeter Wave (MMW) technology to connect sites where fibre optics are unavailable, too slow to provision, too expensive or at risk of damage. In busy cities, fibre optics is usually installed in ducts underground which are prone to disruption when digging or building works take place.
This client had already installed fibre optics for major CCTV backbones around the city. However, 3rd party building works disrupted the ducts severing the fibres, causing major outage in the network and loss of CCTV coverage – putting citizens at risk.
10Gbps MMW Links installed for Safe City Applications
CableFree 10Gbps Millimeter Wave links offer an ideal alternative to fragile fibre optics: the radio units are installed on sites owned by the customer, bringing the full network under user control and management. The units are typically mounted on building rooftops well away from street-level disruption, which are easy to access, secure and defend. MMW wireless links can be installed in hours, not weeks, and at a tiny fraction of the cost of trenches and ducts for fibre optics.
Reliable operating distances of 5-8km depending on climatic region are ideal for city-scale networks. A full range of planning tools allows users to predict performance prior to purchase or installation. The E-band (70-80GHz) frequencies are available in many countries with “light license” and are uncongested, with narrow “pencil beams” allowing dense re-use of the spectrum with no interference between links or users. The narrow beams make such link are inherently secure, with proprietary signals and encoding.
ACM Automatic Coding Modulation for 10Gbps MMW Links
For long links, the Adaptive Coding and Modulation feature enables the MMW link to dynamically adjust modulation in high rainfall conditions to ensure link uptime, capacity and range are maximised. For shorter links and long links in low rainfall regions, the links retain 10Gbps at all times.
10Gbps MMW links are a movable asset: if the network requirements change, or different sites require connecting, the links can be moved to the new sites immediately, retaining all the investment in infrastructure. For Special Events and Disaster Recovery, temporary links can be deployed using generator or alternative “off grid” (Solar + Battery) power if no AC power is available on sites. The units can be mounted on tripods or stationary vehicles as required for rapid deployment.
ACM Automatic Coding Modulation for 10Gbps MMW Links
For mobile operators, advanced features such as IEEE 1588v2, SyncE and management are included which make CableFree MMW ideal for RAN backhaul for 4G & 5G networks. CableFree 10Gbps MMW is upgradable to 20Gbps and 40Gbps with “stacking” giving the very highest throughput in the wireless industry, comparable to fibre optic backbone networks.
