BACKHAUL NETWORKS

The Google Definition of Backhaul is the following:
In a hierarchical telecommunications network, the backhaul portion of the network comprises the intermediate links between the core network, or backbone network, and the small subnetworks at the edge of the network.

The capacity (the amount of available bandwidth) of these networks is extremely critical to the performance of todays 4G, 5G mm wave, and Ultra-wideband networks. Without a sufficient backhaul pipe, the networks can choke and significantly slow down the data speeds to today’s modern devices.

Back in the day (I am showing my age 😊), legacy copper connections like T1’s and DS3’s were used for backhaul networks. We then moved to SONET networks like OC-3’s, OC-12’s, OC48’s etc. Bandwidth requirements continued to ramp up as our devices got more sophisticated and required more and more bandwidth. We now utilize Gigabit Ethernet for backhaul connections.

Leased ethernet connections started at 50 MBPS and ramped up over the last 5+ years to 1GBPS. With the new deployment of C-band and Millimeter Wave 5G, there is now a big push to provide a 10GBPS backhaul connections to these macro cell site and hub locations.

At DataField, we are working with both Wireless carriers and fiber providers to design the upgrades for these networks from 1Gbps to 10Gbps. This means hardware upgrades and core network upgrades are required to meet these capacity demands.
With a large staff of experienced transport engineers, let DataField help you perform your capacity upgrades and network migrations. The Future is Now!!!

C BAND: What is it and how will it effect the Telecoms Industry?

There has been a lot of talk across the country about the deployment of C-band frequencies by wireless carriers. The major headline revolved around the concern of the FAA and the ability to land airplanes using their sophisticated radar system. Their radar system allows them to bounce a signal off the ground and back up to the airplane to calculate the altitude of the plane at that moment. This helps the pilot land the plane in difficult weather conditions. The FAA’s concern is that the C-band frequencies being launched by the 2 biggest carriers could have some interference effect on the plane’s radar system. Right now, the FAA is asking wireless carriers to not turn up C-band within 2 miles of an airport. How this will play out is anyone’s guess. For now, let’s discuss what C-band is and where it sits.

C-band is considered all frequencies between 4 and 8 Ghz, however, when we are talking about the wireless carriers, we are looking at 3.7Ghz to 4.2Ghz. The FCC auctioned off these mid-band frequencies in February 2021 to wireless carriers. It became the world’s most expensive mid-band 5G spectrum auction at 94 cents per MHz/pop. Hence, the carriers with this spectrum want it deployed as quickly as possible.

How will this help 5G? Some carriers originally started rolling out Ultra Wideband 5G at the 28Ghz and 39Ghz frequencies. These frequencies are significantly higher than the C-band frequencies. So what does that mean? While these very high frequencies give us huge bandwidth (think of a 50-lane highway instead of a 2 lane road), however, the 50 lane highway is very short. Because of the shorter distance the signal travels in 5G, many more locations need to be built to acheive a seamless network.

These were deployed as a millimeter wave technology, on mostly 35 to 45 foot utility and light poles. Line of site with the device is very critical to the performance, so you can imagine how many of these locations would need to be built. Not only is this costly, it can also be very difficult to attach to or add additional utility poles in the public Right of Way space. Many people were purchasing 5G enabled devices only to find out they would work only in specific locations. Their 5G service would constantly go on and off.

With C-band being a much lower frequency range, it allows the transmission distance to go significantly further than 28 and 39 Ghz. The carriers are also utilizing their larger Macro (large towers) footprint to deploy C-band, putting the antennas significantly higher than where the initial 5G role out antennas were going. While the size of the pipe at the C-band frequencies may not be as large, tests have shown a significant speed difference between 4G and 5G. We can call C-band a very happy compromise for 5G deployments.

Right now, at DataField, we are helping carriers design and engineer their backhaul, C-band equipment, and routes to deploy this new frequency spectrum. Many upgrades are required at the existing macro towers to accommodate this new spectrum. New Routers, larger backhaul pipes, new C-band radio equipment and antennas. Our experienced transport engineers have years of experience migrating traffic from legacy equipment to the latest hardware. This includes both the design aspect, provisioning of the hardware, and OSS database designs. We would love to help with this new C-band deployment.

We have heard a lot about infrastructure and our nations intent to improve access to broadband services. Both rural and underserved communities are a big topic of discussion these days.

While fiber build-outs are nothing new to large metropolitan areas, the expansion into less densely populated areas are necessary to provide the same broadband services to more suburban and rural communities.

Thanks to this new emphasis on infrastructure from federal and state governments, the funding is allowing new fiber companies to now build in these once unserved areas.
This will be tackled in 2 ways, direct fiber delivery to the home and wireless broadband.

Fiber to the home (FTTH) is a direct fiber connection to homes, businesses, and apartment complexes. PON (passive optical network) technology allows the fiber provider to connect a large number of terminations off of a single fiber pair. If the fiber company can deliver fiber pairs to a termination point outside of a neighborhood, you can then deliver individual to fiber strands to houses, apartments, and businesses. For the old school Telecom Engineer we would say this is just a modern take on the Multiplexing we did "back in my day". (See Image 1)

What happens if it is just too costly and too remote to deliver fiber directly to the premise? With the advent of 5G technology, wireless broadband is now becoming an extremely cost effective and reliable option. Speeds in many cases can rival direct fiber connections.

The fiber carrier can provide a fiber connection to a tower site equipped with edge routers, radios, and antennas to deliver a fast reliable broadband connection. Many tower companies are capitalizing on this technology and are building towers to serve this purpose. (See Image 2)
