Using LTE to Deliver Fixed Wirelessand
Next Generation Access Networks
What I would like to talk about today:
•How Fixed Wireless can deliver NGA today in rural areas
•How Fixed Wireless, using LTE, is future proof
•Position on State Aid for Fixed Wireless
[3]
• UKB uses LTE Spectrum in 3GPP Bands 42 and 43• Launched UK’s first commercial 4G LTE network in Feb 2012 • Now offering fixed wireless broadband in: Southwark, Swindon, Reading and Scunthorpe• To business and domestic customers
• Currently building more networks and introducing mobile services in 2013
But first a word about UK Broadband
We deliver fast home and business broadband
Fixed Wireless delivers NGA today
All wireless and all networks are not the same!
Mobile: Networks are typically designed for voice and thinmobile broadband coverage over a wide area
Fixed Wireless: NGA fixed wireless networks are designed for high bandwidth data capacity over a targeted area AND to be received by an efficient larger antenna (e.g. an indoor or outdoor broadband router)
LTE technology can be used for both fixed wireless and mobile networksNetworks need to be designed to deliver the solution for which they are built
Fixed Wireless networks are not the same as Mobile networks

Delivery Range of a 4G LTE base station (“wireless cabinet”)
Throughput (DL / UL):•45Mbps / 5Mbps•30Mbps / 2Mbps•2Mbps / 0.5Mbps
*Average values based on theoretical conditions: no terrain and/or clutter
How does Fixed Wireless deliver NGA?
Delivers at least 30Mbps downlink
Makes good use of the LTE tool box•Design for a Committed Information Rate (CIR)
•Set network to always deliver to the CIR for each house
•Blocks new devices (mobile) from accessing the network
•Supports open access networks

State Aid for Fixed Wireless
The EU is technology neutral on NGA networks
2 outstanding issues in the UK:Is it an interim solution? How is this reflected?The deployment rules must be the same as for FTTC
The current BDUK wireless guidelines are under reviewSeek further clarification before finalising your tender
Thank you!
