The answer is 42... to the great question of life, the universe and everything, according to The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy author Douglas Adams. And that 'everything' also includes small cells backhaul, I learned through a meeting with a Paris-based start-up this week.

Bluwan's point-to-multipoint millimetre wave (MMW) technology enables it to connect up base stations using spectrum in the 42-GHz band. And according to chief commercial officer Shayan Sanyal, the most cost-effective way to connect up the small cell base stations that operators will require in order to roll out LTE networks in urban areas will be using MMW. Equipment and site rental savings make it a much more cost-effective solution than fibre or microwave backhaul, he insists.

"We're in big trouble when it comes to executing on small cell strategies," Shayan Sanyal, chief commercial officer at Bluwan, told Total Telecom this week. Operators have the technology to enable them to deliver great speeds at the edge of the network, but "the industry is not going to execute on small cells because they are going to get stuck on the plumbing."

GCOM), a leading global provider of communications solutions and services, announced today that it has entered into a strategic partnership with Bluwan, a provider of carrier-grade multi-gigabit wireless solutions. The two companies will provide carriers with a high-availability, high-capacity triple play wireless solution with equivalent capacity and throughput to fibre-based services. The joint Bluwan-Globecomm solution is capable of delivering 100 megabits to customer premises and can be deployed in regions, which until now, have not been reached by fibre optic broadband networks. The solution leverages Globecomm’s content acquisition and distribution capabilities along with the company’s ability to provide turnkey communication solutions in challenging environments. Globecomm’s Internet, video and voice services are integrated with Bluwan’s Fibre ThroughThe Air (“FTTA”) platform, which delivers optical fiber-like speeds and capacity to any region requiring rapid, high performance and cost-effective wireless deployments. The FTTA platform is a Point to Multipoint (PTMP) multi-gigabit system that enables carriers to provide tailored bandwidth across a geographically dispersed array of end points. “In today’s world, the demand for instant Internet, voice and video has been exacerbated by the era of the mobile device,” said Stephen Yablonski, Chief Technology Officer, Globecomm. “Bluwan’s FTTA platform is able to provide both speed and capacity and matches our common goal of allowing carriers to deliver top quality triple-play wireless services to users, wherever they are.”]]> HOME Wed, 16 Nov 2011 10:00:00 +0100 http://www.bluwan.com/uk/info-centre/news-amp-events/article/light-reading-bluwan-nominated-as-finalist-for-prestigious-leading-lights-awards.html Light Reading has short listed point to multipoint millimetre wave backhaul specialists Bluwan as... Long Term Evolution (LTE) deployments is a tricky proposition. Any small-cell backhaul system has to be inexpensive to deploy and operate, have high enough capacity to support LTE, and maintain reliable connectivity to the tiny radios. Bluwan S.A. 's FTTA could be an early contender in this area. The system operates in the 42GHz frequency band and uses TDD spectrum to deliver multi-gigabit throughput to multiple base stations in a single sector."
