The World is Getting Digitized: The Internet of Things

Machine to Machine Connectivity Will Drive Exponential Traffic and Data Backhaul Needs


Need to solve connectivity challenge

Connect the under- and un-connected

• Fiber connectivity may never be available

• Existing copper may not be suitable for higher capacity

• Geographic terrain and spectrum is cost prohibitive

AccessBroadband service anywhere

• Need to alleviate congestion and expand coverage

• Deployment must meet varying outdoor environments and municipal regulations

• High performance must be coupled with high reliability and security

BackhaulEdge-to-edge connectivity

• Need to support multi-mode traffic, e.g. 2G, 3G, 4G/LTE, WiFi, etc

• Need to support voice, video, and data

• Need to support circuit- and packet-based traffic

TransportReliable multi-mode services

NEPALApplication • Voice video and data connectivity for remote regions in the Himalayas

• Medical care and e-commerce for some of the most remote regions on earth

Challenge • No traditional carrier could cost justify building a network to connect these very remote villages with small population

• Difficult mountainous terrain with harsh weather

Solution • PTP backhaul infrastructure• PMP wireless access network• Able to provide video conferencing, health care, video surveillance and e-

commerce

ASHES CHAIRMAN’S CRICKET MATCHApplication • The Ashes Chairman’s Cricket Championship was held in Alice Springs

Australia. • Event organizers needed to provide connectivity for radio and TV media• WiFi connectivity in the stands• Broadband connectivity for local businesses

Challenge • Alice Springs is in the remote “red center” of Australia. • Connectivity had to be backhauled to the city and then an access network

had to be created.

Solution • PTP connectivity for backhaul• ePMP wireless access for the grandstand• PMP connectivity for the local area in the city

SOLOMON ISLANDSApplication • Provide broadband connectivity for public services in the city of Honiara

• Establish one common network infrastructure for multiple agencies

Challenge • Currently has 2,500 users in 93 offices• Scalability to support growth up to 5,000 users• Ability to be relocated if offices move• Need high reliability

Solution • Network of 19 PTP wireless backhaul links supporting 18 PMP wireless access network sectors

• High throughput, low latency services• Reliable performance in hot weather, high humidity, and over water• Leveraged the network to add video surveillance capabilities

MORETON BAY REGIONAL COUNCILApplication • MBRC in Queensland Australia wanted to establish a standalone

communication network to improve speed• Leased lines were costly and MBRC was not satisfied with performance

Challenge • Needed high throughput for data transfer• Needed low latency for sensitive voice and video applications• Wanted expandability to add new locations quickly

Solution • Licensed spectrum PTP links for urban locations• Unlicensed spectrum PTP links for rural areas• Centralized monitoring and reporting system across the entire network

DIGICEL BUSINESS PRIVATE OFFICE NETWORK PNGSERVICE PROVIDER

Papua New Guinea

Challenge Digicel Business’ Private Office Networks VPN service was developed to meet the demands of large corporate customers having various branch offices around PNG; especially those that run business applications hosted centrally. This unique service has been tailored to provide secure VPN connectivity for branch office and low latency therefore fast keystroke response.

Solution PMP 430 access network with omni directional antenna to provide connectivity to sparsely populated areas needing high speed broadband

Results • Customers are now experiencing usable throughput levels at about 30 Mbps down and 10 Mbps up, getting what they need for high speed Internet access for data, voice and video applications
