Biggest Challenges in Implementing Rural 5G


Challenges in USA facing Carriers

5

“11% of roads have no LTE access…16% of Land Area have no LTE

access…1.4 Million people do not have LTE access…550,000 miles of roads

have no access whatsoever.”

“Estimates are that 5G will require a 10x growth in cell sites, potentially even

more…these small cell sites will require to be connected, so we’ll need a lot

more backhaul.”

“There are just over 200,000 cell towers in the U.S., but there may be millions of

small cell sites in the 5G future.”

Plug-n-Play

Cost-effective

Flexible and Open

Future-proofed

4 hours to install and commission one CWS

Under 3 days to light up a rural community with cluster of 4

CWS

Planning “Lite” – designed to be within notification rules

Cost-effective Integrated Wired & Wireless Backhaul , all in-one

Low power consumption OPEX savings

Self-configuration, self-optimization with SON

Eliminates backhaul challenge – can integrate capacity as

becomes available

Interoperates with any vendor core, any type of backhaul

Software defined Nodes – can be re-configured UMTS&LTE

Supporting 3G for voice now, VoLTE in the future,

Gateway is a key element for future 5G networks.


World’s Smallest, but Most Powerful Small Cell

• Low cost small cell

• 3G/4G access, integrated flexible

backhaul

• Mesh-backhaul enabled

• Self-configuring, self-optimizing by

HetNet gateway

• Groundbreaking technology, Highest

RF power in it’s class

• Consumes less power than MAC

laptop running on full CPU


CWS Cluster orchestrated via HNG

located in Data Centre

Satellite

Backhaul

• A RAN solution based on any

available today/tomorrow

backhaul:

• Fixed – i.e. fiber,

microwave, satellite

• Wireless Hybrid – 3G/4G

services

• Disaster recovery, dynamic

routing

• Easy deploy, easy to maintain

Backhaul Flexibility: use all available Fixed

and Wireless backhaul as they are available

HNG
