Fibre Through The Air:
Hype? Or Reality ?
Shayan Sanyal, CCO, Bluwan
February 19th, 2013 – FTTH Council Europe INCA
• European wireless network solutions provider since 2005
• Aerospace & defence origins (Thales)
• Specialists in PMP: – mmWave (42 GHz) – MVDDS (12 GHz)
• Applications – Last mile backhaul – HD multiple play

WHO IS BLUWAN
• Delivering PTP peak performance with PMP efficiency
• High bandwidth density with low opex

WIRELESS CONTINUES TO EVOLVE
PtP Microwave
PtP mm Wave
PmP Microwave
PmP mm Wave
Fibre
• The ideal backhaul
solution
• Penetration limited to
20-30%, typically
urban coverage with
issues over trenching
and slow deployment
• This directly impacts
on operator revenues
and time to market
• Ideally suited for low-
medium capacity
backhaul
• Spectrum scarcity
• Delivers required
capacity (>100Mbits
guaranteed) to sites
with good capex
• 70-80% network
coverage driving a
large yearly opex
• PtP evolution to V
and E band (60-90
GHz)
• Block spectrum
allocations to deliver
increased link
capacity
• PtP opex concerns
remain unaddressed
• 1st Generation PMP,
fast time to market in
10.50/26/28GHz
• Filled the short term
gap in 2G/3G
deployments to max
revenues
• Now not enough
capacity for 4G
• 2nd Generation PMP
technology 42GHz
offers 1GHz radio
• Scalable 2Gbit sector
capacity with 120-
240Mbit Terminal
capacity
• Delivering PtP
capacity within PMP
architecture
1.5 km

WE MUST CREATE BANDWIDTH DENSITY TO
ADDRESS CAPACITY CHALLENGES
• Typical urban, metropolitan environment • Case: London, United Kingdom • 1.5 kilometre radius
• Existing 3G sites are already dense (2010 data) • 200 – 300 metre range between sites • 10 Mbps required per site • 200 Mbps capacity required per km2
• Operators using Carrier Wifi to de-saturate 3G networks • 20% of data traffic is typically carried on WiFi (O2) • 10 Mbps required per site • + 50 Mbps capacity required per km2
• Operators deploying 4G LTE cells to boost capacity • Some existing 3G sites will be upgraded to LTE, and some
will remain on the 3G initially, requiring 35 Mbps per site • + 500 Mbps capacity required per km2
• Small cells mass deployed by 2014, creating a break point • 100 – 200 metre range, street level hot spot
deployments, requiring 20 Mbps capacity per site • +250 Mbps capacity required per km2
Providing gigabit capacity per
square kilometre is key
Fibre, copper and microwave
will cover some of this but…
Majority of sites will need a
new backhaul system
This system must provide
scalable capacity for
unplanned explosive growth
• Using Bluwan’s LinkFusion solution, operators can create 4 sectors of coverage with a range of up to 2 km, generating up to 10 Gigabits per Second of capacity
• 1 backhaul system for 3G, 4G, wifi, small cells

LINKFUSION FTTA CASE STUDY
• LinkFusion FTTA deployment for a UK 42 GHz license holder
• Gateshead, UK • Muni-project for 4 sites
from a single hub radio • Legacy solution:
– 5 GHz – 4 sites receiving 5 Mbps
each
• With FTTA – Sites now receiving up to
100 Mbps – 400 Mbps hub capacity,
scalable to 10 Gbps
CASE STUDY: SOMCABLE LTD
BROADFUSION ACCESS CASE STUDY:
SOMCABLE LTD
SOMALILAND, EAST AFRICA
SOMCABLE LTD • Roll out to 5 countries in East Africa
• Using Bluwan’s 12 GHz BroadFusion FTTA
• 100x faster bandwidth than currently available
microwave options
• Target customers: 60,000 subscribers all segments
• Services:
• Up 100 Mbps Broadband
• IPTV, service provider OTT
• VoIP + Enterprise Virtual PBX
• Side Loaded Linear TV
• Up to 5 Mbps committed information rate, peak to
100 Mbps
• 4 service offerings ($ per month) • SomCloud: FTTA backhauled WiFi 20$ • SomData Enterprise: 800$ • SomData Economy: 1 Mbps dedicated, 60$ • SomData Plus (Affluent): 5 Mbs dedicated, 200$
