Shortcomings of cellular LTE

Insyab Wireless Limited | Confidential & Proprietary | Sep 20164

In a feasibility study performed for a GCC-based OPCO on using LTE for video surveillance and asset monitoring it was concluded that:1) It is neither technically nor commercially for mobile operators to invest in offshore LTE infrastructure.2) Very high CAPEX and to some extent OPEX for the oil company to build and run its own LTE network

A study conducted by Insyab for a major Saudi telecom operator demonstrated clearly the uplink capacity deficit in highly crowded contexts.

Shortcomings of Wi-Fi

• Prone to interference from other systems:– 2.4 GHz is already crowded– 5 GHz soon to be contaminated with the arrival

of LTE-Unlicensed

• Does not scale well:– Many repeaters and infrastructure access points

required to cover large areas– Wi-Fi mesh supports only few hops

• Does not support mobility very well– The underlying physical layer (PHY) was not built

with mobility in mind– Mobility-throughput tradeoff tends to be quite

painful

• Wi-Fi modems are relatively power hungry• Limited to ISM bands while many clients

mandate support for other security and military bands


The introduction of LTE-U (aka LAA) is expected to increase the “interference temperature” seen by Wi-Fi systems, causing heated debated between 3GPP and IEEE 802.11 communities.

About Insyab

• Based in Dubai – UAE • Positioning: licensor and developer of field-proven technologies for

mission-critical and mission-specific wireless networks • Past and ongoing project:

1. Development of a smartphone add-on wireless networking module for public safety personnel.

2. Development of a battery-powered tri-band wireless M2M access point. Features a full-duplex high-speed backhaul capability.

3. A wireless mobile full-duplex repeater for coverage extension in mission-critical applications.


Value Proposition• Shorter time-to-market.• Competitive pricing and flexible costing models.• One-stop shop for the whole project thus eliminating risk and further reducing

NRE costs.
