Huawei launches microwave solution for FTTx
In this article (5)
Huawei has announced the launch of the first Microwave solution for FTTx, to allow operators to deploy gigabit-capable broadband services over different access media.
Operators will be able to use microwave links and existing fiber, copper and coaxial cables to expand Gigabit network coverage.
The system combines a range of microwave technologies including large capacity E-band and super dual band (SDB) to offer a transmission capacity ranging from 1Gbps to 10Gpbs.
Huawei said the system has already been commercially deployed in multiple markets including China and Greece.
The technology is designed to address the problems of operators facing difficulty improving line speeds because of the poor quality of existing copper, as well as the difficulty of obtaining the required fiber resources.
The product launch forms part of Huawei’s Gigaband strategy, which aims to achieve record levels of bandwidth and coverage.
