Cambium Networks LTE Program EMEA Partner Event Budapest, July 2018
Why LTE? Customer Perspective Small WISP (<2,000 subscribers) 1 NLOS performance, need for better range and coverage than other available solutions Medium WISP (2,000-10,000 subscribers) Licensed spectrum to add capacity and provide premium service Investment protection 2 Inexpensive CPE options Large WISP (> 10,000 subscribers) 3 Investors demand industry standard LTE Attractive Air Interface attributes Inexpensive CPE Cambium Perspective Adopt industry standard and innovate rather than reinvent Lower Cost SM: LTE chipsets are inexpensive relative to FPGA & DSP LTE air interface features OFDMA in downlink Improved receive sensitivity due to coding gains Carrier aggregation and LAA Frequency reuse 1 for licensed bands Inter cell interference coordination Hybrid ARQ with soft combining 2
Why Not Use Existing LTE solutions? Too complex (EPC, SIM cards) Too costly Not Fixed Service Provider-friendly Products that exist are immature or beta quality 3
Cambium Networks - Differentiating on a Standard Remove cost and complexity typically associated with LTE Exploit LTE Air Interface Features High power radio to take advantage of higher regulatory limits in 2.5GHz and 3.5 GHz Leverage our expertise in robust outdoor CPE design Retain PMP 450 networking, QoS, security and management features 4
Our LTE Solution Building on our 450 to LTE comparison, we close the gap between the existing solutions and the Cambium LTE solution. Best Customer Experience Range and Coverage Interference Mitigation Worst Existing LTE Solutions Cambium PMP Cambium LTE N/A 450 still outperforms LTE in many ways, but Cambium s LTE addresses deficiencies in alternative LTE solutions. Total Sector Capacity Subscriber Bandwidth Infrastructure Costs Mobility Support Total Cost of Ownership 6
Separate Baseband and Radio (Traditional LTE model) PMP450 has baseband and radio together LTE will have 8x8 Baseband Unit (BBU) and Remote Radio Heads (RRH) 2x2 Radio 8x8 Baseband (DSP SoC) RF Control (FPGA ) 2x2 Radio 2x2 Baseband (FPGA SoC) 450i AP The BBU can drive 4 2x2 radios to provide 360⁰ coverage Or one 8x8 radio for a single Sector with MU-MIMO support 8x8 Radio 8x8 Baseband (DSP SoC) RF Control (FPGA ) 7
Deployment ISP Data Network CPRI (Fiber) Start with one RRH, add more as you grow, all powered by same BBU RRH band spins without changing BBU hardware Future proof for LAA, just add 5GHz RRU to existing BBU No tower climb needed to access BBU easier diagnostics, lower operational expense DC In Sync In BBU 8
Flexibility by splitting Baseband and Radio Start with one RRH, add more as you grow, all powered by same BBU RRH bandspins without changing BBU hardware 2.5GHz 3.5GHz 5 GHz Future proof for LAA, just add 5GHz RRU to existing BBU No tower climb needed to access BBU easier diagnostics, lower operational expense 2.5GHz 5 GHz 9
