SOLUTIONS - GSM and 3G Cellular Networks

GSM and 3G operators are faced with exciting challenges - including extending networks to provide adequate connectivity in dense regions with a rapidly expanding user base. In rural areas the cells which comprise the network are relatively sparse - and frequently connected using microwave links. However, in urban areas the high density of GSM subscribers and radio propagation issues mean that "Microcells" are created - often to cover a small locality, building or an RF 'blind spot', connecting GSM Base Station Transceivers (BST) and Base Station Controllers (BSC), or 3G "NodeB" base stations.
Traditional connectivity solutions for Microcells use Nx2Mbps links using copper wires or microwave links - but there can be drawbacks. In some areas E1/G703 copper circuits are already available - but what if the proposed link is across a river, road or railway, or in a developing country where the existing telecommunications operator has limited or unreliable infrastructure?
Microwave solutions require licensing and often suffer from interference, multipath and signal reflections - and public health fears in urban areas that make them unpopular. CableFree solves the problem with high-capacity, highly reliable wireless solutions with low cost of ownership.
