Evolving to a Macrocell, Microcell Layered Access Network
• Due to the exploding growth in data mobile the mobile network
architecture is evolving from a single layer access network to a multiple
layer access network
o The macrocells provide the capacity and coverage
o The small cells provide the high capacity hotspots

Millimeter Waves for Macrocell and Microcell Backhaul
• The 70/80 GHz E-band is optimized for last mile, zero-footprint macrocell backhaul
• The 57-66 GHz band is optimized for microcell backhaul
• Capacity
o Optimized for high capacity, short range backhaul links
o Large allocated spectrum and channels allows Gigabit-per-second (and above)
solutions
• Relieve the spectrum bottleneck
o “Virgin” spectrum relieves the spectrum availability bottleneck of exhausted
“traditional” spectrum particularly in urban deployments
• Size
o All-outdoor, zero-footprint, low power consuming solutions
• Cost
o Low cost solutions are achievable

E-band - Introduction
• 10GHz of spectrum: 71-76GHz and 81-86GHz
• Requires Line of Sight
• Large spectrum Gigabit throughputs
• Uncongested
• Pencil-beams (beam-width < 1˚): o Good spectral reuse and minimum interference from neighboring links o Secure (hard to detect and intercept)
• Lightly licensed
o Protection against interference o Quick and simple registration o Inexpensive

E-band: <1
5.8GHz: >10
70/80 GHz Optimized for Last Mile, Zero-Footprint Macrocell Backhaul • Spectrum characteristics allow all-silicon integrated design
o Very Low Cost All-Outdoor Products
o Small, all-outdoor, zero-footprint form factor
o Small, high-gain antennas
o Low power consumption utilizing standard PoE
o Effective range of up to 3 km with high
availability (depending on rain zone)
• Additional advantages
o Relives the “traditional” spectrum availability bottleneck
o High Capacity, scalable Gigabit-per-second (and above) solutions
o Simple, quick and cheaper frequency planning and acquisition
o “Pencil beams” – reduced risk of interference and high spectrum reuse

Enabling Small Cell Deployment with V-band (60 GHz) Backhaul
• 57-66 GHz, millimeter-wave technology enables small cells wireless
backhaul solutions which are:
o “Invisible” in sized and weight
o Plug & play; easy and quick installation and
commissioning … yet flexible and scalable for
different types of use cases and scenarios today,
tomorrow and the future
o Low power consumption (PoE)
o Ultra low cost

To Conclude …
• Mobile networks are evolving to a multi-layered access network to cope with the exploding
demand for data-intensive services
• The backhaul is one of the key challenges to overcome to enable the evolution to multi-
layered access mobile networks
• Millimeter-wave backhaul will play an important role in answering the backhaul challenge
o The 71-76 / 81-86 GHz E-band is optimized for last mile, zero-footprint macrocell
backhaul
o The 57-64 GHz spectrum is optimized for microcell backhaul
• Millimeter-wave backhaul solutions provide dominant advantages in:
o Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)
o Scalability
o Form-factor and size
o Environmentally friendliness
