Where are we today?

§ Call Center Case Study– 140,000 square feet– 500 SIMS in each outer User area– Unlimited data plans on devices– 100% of devices on single operator– (4) BC 4/13 RN-310’s per User area– (5) RN-310 - Training area in middle– Backhaul - 1 Gb port/100Mb CIR

User Area User Area

§ Thoughts– 500 SIMS over 50,000 square feet– (4) 24 dBm Radio over 50,000 square feet – ~125 devices per Radio– 30% peak RRC_Connected on radio– VoLTE & Video are used extensively

Small Cells Offloaded 45% Users from Macro § RRC Connected Users Average

– BC 4 RRC Connected Users Average dropped about 45% after E-RAN enabled

– BLUE = BC 4 (1700 Mhz)

• Note: BC 4 is preferred on macro

– RED = BC 13 (700 Mhz)

Increased Average Data Rate on Macro § Downlink Throughput

– BC 4 DL dropped about 16% after E-RAN enabled

– BLUE = BC 4 (1700 Mhz)

• Note: BC 4 is preferred on macro

– RED = BC 13 (700 Mhz)

§ Downlink Usage

– RRC Connected Users dropped by 45% but DL Throughput dropped by only 16%

– Conclusion: Less users consuming more bandwidth means better user experience

Enterprise 5G Foundations§ Frequency

– Sub 6Ghz (favorable propagation)

– Building owner tolerance issues

§ Densification– 24 dBm cells @ 1,000 square meters

– 1,000 cells per square kilometer

§ Unlicensed/Lightly Licensed– Game changer

§ URLLC– Insertion point between RAN & core

– Slicing point, MEC

§ Leverage Enterprise transport investments§ Other innovations not yet visible
