Key benefits of Bluwan FTTA: TDD PTMP architecture
- Whether you are a B2B operator delivering services to enterprise customers, a MNO with backhaul requirements or a B2C operator delivering voice, broadband and TV, in today’s environment you face a common set of network challenges. Operators are looking for a network that will enable their business objectives of delivering flexible services, rapid customer acquisition and the maximum revenue per unit of capacity at the lowest cost per unit.
- In this paper Trova Consulting and Bluwan examine how wireless solutions, in particular those that can harness wide blocks of TDD spectrum in a PTMP architecture, can provide the answer in terms of a high capacity flexible network with low CAPEX and OPEX requirements, especially when compared to alternatives such as xDSL, PTP microwave, fibre and leased line. We look closely at higher spectrum bands such as 12 GHz and 42 GHz, where cost-effective spectrum is available which can be used in an efficient TDD mode.
- The paper compares the CAPEX and OPEX drivers for wireless PTMP and PTP solutions with the conclusion that PTMP has significant cost advantages.
- Finally we look closely at the network requirements for the three operator cases (B2B, MNO backhaul and B2C) and how a TDD PTMP wireless solution such as Bluwan’s Fibre Through The Air (FTTA) can be a compelling solution.
