The Virtual Fiber Advantage

Page 24: Slide 1 - dotVN - Vietnam's Internet

Advantages of E-Band Backhaul

• Improves Quality of Service • “Native GigE” – no “rate shaping”, no “data queuing” – full GigE over the

air @1,250Mbps

• Network Scalability• Cell Site capacity can be increased, additional sectors added without

replacing Backhaul equipment

• New Protected Architectures such as Ring or Mesh• Instead of PtP 1+1 GigE ring could be built for protection

• Higher Network Flexibility & Better Coverage• Even in urban areas only a fraction of sites have fiber – typically poor

network coverage on the “overlay” network• E-Band enables the provider to add new sites or upgrade existing “low-

capacity” sites with GigE backhaul

• Allows New Services and/or reach additional customers• Drop GigE capacity to Businesses that are nearby high-cap cell-site• Provide new applications such as IP TV or other Video applications
