Why the using of mm-waves are so interesting for communications?

What radios we currently produce?

Who are competitors?

What is the difference between our solution and solution of competitors?

What will be next steps in product roadmap?

Program of presentation

What is good in mm-waves and what game rules are already established?

Huge frequency band is available => huge speed of data transfer In US: in November 2003 Federal Communication Commission

allocated about 14 GHz in new frequency bands 71-76 / 81-86 GHz and 92-95 GHz for high speed point-to-point radios 1...10 Gbps, FCC № 03-248

In Europe : since 1999 frequency band 40.5-43.5 GHz is allocated for for Broadband Point-to-Multipoint Multimedia Wireless Systems (MWS), ETSI EN 301 997-1(2)

In Russia: since 2000 the frequency band 40.5-42.5 GHz is allocated for Broadband Point-to-Multipoint Multimedia Access and digital TV. Our company obtained permission to produce and sell radios for 40.5-43.5 GHz.

The frequency range 57-64 GHz is license free in many countries

Mm-waves penetrate fog and smog

Where we already use mm-waves?

What else is good in mm-waves except speed of data transfer?

No beam crossover. Mm-wave radios are something between FSO and traditional microwave radios (below 40GHz)

“Pencil-beam” 0.6-1.2 degrees at reasonable size of antenna 24”-12”

Effectiveness of reflection and multi-passing effect is very week

Revolutionary simplification of license formalities due to nature of mm-waves

Numbers arguing for themselves

Based on RHK and Cisco market research (which widely made public across marketers),

There are about 8000 fiber hotels (POPs) in US today 750k business buildings in US with >20 employees

plus about 3000K small business locations Only ~5% of buildings have fiber connections today ~75% of these buildings are within 1 mile of a Fiber Fiber trenching has declined due to economic and

municipal conditions

The opportunity is to bring buildings online with fiber-like capacity using mm-wave wireless

Mm-wave radio is main stream of development for broadband communications

Huge frequency band availableLast mile solution at speed of fiber optics,

but without problems and expenses connected with fiber installation (trenching + lawyer expenses)

There are already established rules for using of mm-wave bands in US and in Europe, which dramatically simplify formalities.

We have technology to build Broadband Communication Systems at mm-waves

What Point-to-Point radios we produce?

100 Mbps Fast Ethernet LAN bridge

• 155 Mbps STM-1

• 155 Mbps «100Mbps FE + 8xE1»

1.25 Gbps Gigabit Ethernet LAN bridge

What Point-to-Multipoint radios we produce?

“City-А”: full duplex radio100Mbps Fast Ethernet with TDMA

“City-A/1000”: at design stage

“Сity-1”: Broadcasting of DVB-S Digital TV + IP (3.24 Gbps per 90° sector)

City-A principle of operation

World record for speed of data transfer in return channel for Time Division Multiply Access mode

100 Mbps now -> 1Gbps will be soon
