Millimetre Wave technology, also known as E-Band, is a flexible urban option that can be deployed at street –level, an ideal networking solution to address the growing demand for bandwidth in dense, highly populated cities. Millimetre is available in the following frequencies:
E-band can be used in a broad range of products and services like high speed, point-to-point WLAN’s and broadband access, as millimetre waves are shorter than Microwave
Millimetre wave networks will define and advance the 70 – 80 GHz wireless networking solutions by delivering gigabits of capacity faster, more easily and more cost-effectively.
The E-band has short wavelengths and travels by line of sight; rain and humidity can have an impact on performance and reduces the signal strength, called rain fade.
Licensed: Used in private point-to-point links that includes annual registration fees and a guarantee of zero interference
Lite-licensed: Based on the first come, first serve environment where a user notifies the regulatory body with the position and characteristics of the stations.
License-exempt: High capacities and quality throughput; limited by ICASA.
