Redefining the Wireless Edge

Fat Pipe vs Thin Air: A Streamer’s Tale

  • Examining the extent to which an FWA network cab support multi-gigabit speeds
  • Evaluating how FWA performance may evolve over time, and the investment needed to sustain it under growing traffic loads
  • Understanding how to benchmark and differentiate your network from FWA through architecture, service quality, and strategic positioning
  • Pinpointing service advantages that deliver meaningful differentiation to customers

Technical paper presentation.

5G Cloud RAN Architecture Evolution

  • Examining ORAN architecture and its disaggregation of centralized (CU) and distributed units (DU) to enable flexible deployment
  • Exploring trial results of separated CU/DU Cloud RAN and the world’s first combined CU/DU deployment
  • Comparing separated vs. combined CU/DU architectures and  highlighting trade-offs in scalability, latency, resiliency, and deployment complexity
  • Analyzing key operational observations to guide future adoption and optimization of cloud RAN strategies

5G FWA O2I Performance for a US Residential Home

  • Evaluating 5G Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) as a competitor to traditional home broadband -comparing indoor vs. outdoor CPE setups
  • Exploring field data from various NLOS/LOS conditions, path lengths, and two frequencies (6.1 and 37.3 GHz) in a typical U.S. residential scenario
  • Reconstructing real-world channel measurements in using a vector signal generator and analyzer to evaluate signal performance metrics
  • Visualizing performance variability through heat maps, highlighting how link quality is affected by CPE location, link type, and frequency
