Milano – November 2018

Telefónica a global leader mobile operator and SIAE MICROELETTRONICA a leader in wireless transport technology have put to the test the high capacity 10Gbps wireless links to enhance the backhauling network for the future advent of 5G.

The millimetre-wave point-to-point radio operating at 80GHz E band carrier, offers the lowest transport latency and the highest wireless capacity of 10Gbps over a single channel, satisfying the strict 5G requirements. Telefónica successfully field tested SIAE MICROELETTRONICA millimetre-wave radio solution in two use cases: 10Gbps point-to-point links addressing urban applications and the multicarrier link aggregation addressing the sub-urban applications, pushing high capacity connectivity to longer distances.

“SIAE MICROELETTRONICA and Telefónica have cooperated over multiple projects all aiming to satisfy the 5G backhaul requirements. From microwave SDN applications to the introduction of state of the art millimetre-wave radio, once again crossing together a key stepping stone.” says Luigi Lovati, Telefónica global account manager in SIAE MICROELETTRONICA

“SIAE MICROELETTRONICA has outperformed our expectations for high capacity, stability and low latency microwave links. The field test, conducted by our technology manager in Telefónica España, Alberto Carrasco, with the E-band ALFOplus80HDX equipment has proven to be completely suitable for 5G backhauling, for short-medium range links in those cases where fiber is not available”. Says Maria Antonia Crespo, IP and Optical network development director in Telefónica España.
