Huawei has released its Microwave service for FTTx, to provide an all-media giga-access platform. The technology allows operators to deploy gigabit-capable ultra-broadband over different forms of access media. Operators can leverage microwave links as well as existing fiber, copper and coaxial cables to expand Gigabit network coverage, Huawei says.
The Huawei Microwave solution for FTTx extends coverage. For the bandwidth, Huawei combines a variety of microwave technologies such as large-capacity E-band and Super Dual Band (SDB) to offer a transmission capacity ranging from 1 to 10 Gbps.
The Huawei Microwave solution for FTTx has already been deployed commercially in multiple countries, including Greece and China. Huawei says its technology is designed to address two problems, namely the difficulty to improve line speed because of poor quality of old copper for fixed line operators; as well as the hardship for mobile operators to obtain the required optical fiber resources to quickly deploy OLTs.
